Outdoor LED School Signs - Features & Benefits
Our Company
Stewart School Signs' philosophy of building a superior product and conducting business
according to ethical principles has not changed since our inception in 1968.
Four decades and 30,000 signs later, it is understandable why so many schools
have chosen Stewart School Signs as their preferred sign company.Our Product
The Stewart DayStar
Every Stewart DayStar sign is built to exacting material and workmanship standards. We take no shortcuts in producing the highest quality electronic signs in the industry.
While most companies go to market with the initial cost in mind, Stewart signs are designed with the overall ownership costs in mind.
A common area of compromise for most organizations is in the brightness of the display. Stewart's DayStars are produced utilizing the brightest LEDs in
the industry. This gives your new sign the advantage of competing with the sun and being readable in direct sunlight today, tomorrow, and years into the
future. A Stewart DayStar sign is significantly brighter than the average commercial electronic sign.
For a comprehensive listing of the areas of comparison between a Stewart sign and others, please speak with a Stewart sign consultant.Advanced DayStar LED Cabinet Construction
The DayStar LED is designed to keep the weather out and protect the internal electronic components. Each DayStar Message Center LED cabinet is a NEMA 4X style - designed to stand up to extreme
weather elements.The sign cabinets are also thermostatically controlled with cooling fans and heating bars to extend the life of the electrical components.
Each DayStar sign is made from extruded aluminum and carries a UL or ETL listing, ensuring you the safest construction on the market today. We offer a variety of
identification cabinets to accompany your LED message center.

Powder Coat Finish
Stewart signs are protected with an industrial powder coat finish made by DuPont®.
Not only will your sign boast enhanced color and gloss retention for many years to come, it's also chip and impact resistant. The DuPont® industrial
finish ensures that any graffiti applied to the sign structure is easily removed.Laser-Sharp Graphics
The graphics on your new sign are the first impression your school will project. By applying high performance 3M® vinyl to the inside surface of each sign face, we can
guarantee your graphics will be laser-sharp and won't fade over time.
The use of vinyl ensures the even distribution of color when your sign is illuminated, preventing the shadowing common to painted graphics.
(View graphics and color options!)Superior Wind Load Rating
A sign's strength is measured by the wind load that it will withstand. Stewart School Signs engineers every sign to withstand hurricane force
winds. While you may not live in a hurricane-prone area, investing in structural integrity is always wise.
Our unitized cabinets are constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum extrusions. With welded-reinforced mitered corners, each cabinet is
a masterpiece in design and durability. A Stewart cabinet resists damage and retains its shape.
