We’re Famous! Well sort of…Carmanah Signs was contacted directly by Fox Studios of Los Angeles, California to provide LED illuminated light panels to be used as props on their current hit TV show “Bones”.
Generally Carmanah’s EvenLit™ LED Light Panels have been used by major brands, retailers, casinos, lottery organizations, and others, as permanent promotional fixtures in their retail settings. Typically, they are wall mounted, with eye-catching digitally printed designs that are brilliantly lit from behind, however the creative folks at Fox Studios are using the light panels in a horizontal fashion as an illumination source on the set of the forensic lab. It will be really cool to see the LED-lit effect when we finally get to watch the latest episode on TV.
For almost 20 years, Carmanah Signs has been a provider of LED illuminated signage to countless brands, retailers, lotteries and casinos, and this is not the first time that Carmanah’s LED illuminated signage technology has been called to action in front of the camera.
A few years ago, the set designers from the show “Las Vegas”, produced by NBC Studios, used Carmanah LED illuminated Table Game signs on their casino floor set. Due to Carmanah’s track record as the major supplier of Table Games and Table Limit signs to the casino and gaming industry, the designers chose Carmanah to provide all the set’s table game floor signage. The designers presumably felt that choosing Carmanah’s casino sign products would add to the authenticity and realism of the set.
We thank Fox Studios for their business and the opportunity to bask in the glow of a tiny bit of Hollywood glamour. As for our regular retail environment customers, Carmanah’s line of LED illuminated EvenLit™ Light Panels will continue to offer the features they have come to value: superior illumination, spread evenly across the entire surface, an elegant housing and the long life and low energy consumption of high quality LEDs, all in a range of standard and custom sizes.

Carmanah Signs’ is pleased to announce that our EvenLit™ LED Light Panel product line now compliments a station on one of Canada’s major transit lines. Working through a value-added reseller, the local transit authority recently had a number of large format EvenLit™ Premiere LED light boxes installed.
“We are excited about this particular customer and application because it demonstrates that our line of long life LED lightboxes are not only suitable for retail advertising and promotion but also for advertising in indoor and outdoor public spaces”, notes Carmanah Signs’ President, Cameron Waldie. “Indoor advertisers have their own unique requirements for signage, and it’s good to know our LED sign products can satisfy some of their needs.”
With the advances in LED technology in recent years, the EvenLit™ product line offers the same brightness as many fluorescent light panels while eliminating the unattractive and costly effects of frequent fluorescent light bulb burnout. The Premiere product line features high quality, long life LEDs to ensure our customers receive these benefits.

Using state-of-the-art manufacturing and production procedures, Carmanah can illuminate virtually any logo or design with exceptionally bright, crisp and eye-catching LED output.

Carmanah Signs has finished off a successful autumn trade show season, having had an exhibit booth at three major shows in the last few weeks: the Global Gaming Exhibition (G2E), the annual National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show and the annual North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) show. A variety of Carmanah’s in-house designed LED and LCD sign products were on display at these three exhibitions.
Carmanah Signs booth G2E in Las Vegas was fortunate enough to be featured in the local Las Vegas Sun newspaper, with a photograph showing the installation of our EvenLit super-slim LED-lit Light Boxes into a large LED Light Panel wall assembly. We also showed off two new Table Limit signs: the Vegas LCD Table Limit sign and the Petite LED Table Limit sign. The booth also displayed a sample of LED-lit double-sided Table Games signs as well. Overall, G2E 2011 appeared to be the best attended since 2008, with a very high number of booth visits and interested casino Table Games managers.
The NACS show in Chicago was an opportunity to show off Carmanah’s digital signage offerings. On display for both the C-store chain managers as well as brand managers were the new counter top wirelessly-updated lottery jackpot sign, the window wirelessly-updated lottery jackpot sign and the brand new LCD advertising sign. In addition, the EvenLit LED-lit Light Panel product line was on display.
Last but not least, Carmanah’s booth at the NASPL show in Indianapolis highlighted the variety and quality of the digital lottery jackpot signage that Carmanah Signs has developed and sold over the last 5 years. The lottery sign product line now includes the EvenLit LED light panel line with wirelessly-updated jackpots for both large and small lotto signage, as well as a LCD retail signage that can not only display jackpots but advertising for both the lottery and the retailer.
Carmanah thanks all our partners and customers that dropped by our exhibition booths to say hello.
