How the Project Started

Ron introduced us to Darren, who needed a custom signage solution for the YETI PUFF retail store in Canada.

The project required a distinctive, high-visibility illuminated sign that could:

  • Withstand outdoor weather conditions

  • Deliver bright, even illumination across the letterforms

  • Create a distinctive visual identity for the brand

Darren had a clear vision — and we were ready to bring it to life.


The Challenge

Custom letter signage requires a lighting solution that fits seamlessly into the letterforms while providing bright, even illumination. The client's design called for:

Requirement

Detail

Housing Type

Globe-shaped lamp cage design

LED Type

Full-color RGB with programmable effects

Outdoor Durability

IP68 waterproof, weather-resistant

Brightness

High output for daytime visibility and nighttime impact

Control

SPI addressable pixel control

The complexity of this project — from design coordination to installation — made it a true multi-stage case study.


Our Solution: Custom 50mm Pixel Globe Light

After reviewing the design sketches and discussing the vision, we proposed our 50mm Pixel Globe Light (XXA-5012B) — a versatile, high-performance solution that matched every requirement.

  2. Product customization — adapting the 50mm globe light to fit the specific letter dimensions

  3. Manufacturing — producing the custom lights with IP68 waterproofing

  4. Testing — verifying color consistency, brightness, and waterproof integrity

  5. Shipping and installation support — delivering to Canada with installation guidance

The result was a fully illuminated, weatherproof signage system that brought the YETI PUFF brand to life.
