A sign nobody can read after dark is not doing its job. Gooseneck and sign lighting puts controlled light on the face of a sign or a building without spilling it into the street or a neighboring property. Browse the range below, or read on for help choosing.

How Do You Light a Sign Evenly?

The goal is an even wash across the sign face with no hot spot under each fixture and no dark band between them. That comes from fixture spacing, the distance the fixture stands off the sign, and the beam spread of the shade.

As a rule, more fixtures at lower output spaced closer together give a smoother result than fewer bright ones spaced wide.

Should the Fixture Mount Above, Below or on the Ground?

Top mounted gooseneck fixtures are the traditional choice for storefront and wall signs, and they shed water away from the sign face. Ground mounted sign lights uplight monument and freestanding signs where there is nothing above to mount to.

Wall mount sign lighting sits flush or on a short arm where a full gooseneck arm would project too far or catch wind.

What Gooseneck Arm and Shade Should You Choose?

The arm sets how far the fixture stands off the wall and at what angle the shade sits, which together decide where the light lands. A longer arm covers a taller sign. A short arm suits a narrow sign or a tight sidewalk clearance.

Shade diameter and profile control the beam. A wider shade throws a broader, softer pattern. Angle shades and radial profiles each read differently on the building, so the choice is aesthetic as well as photometric.

Where Do Barn Lights Fit?

Barn lights are the same family: a shade on a gooseneck or straight arm, in the classic warehouse profile. They work on signage, but they are just as often used as an architectural exterior light over entries, loading doors, patios and facades.

Straight arm versions project less than a curved gooseneck, which helps where clearance is limited.

How Do You Avoid Light Trespass From Sign Lighting?

Sign lighting is mounted high and aimed down at a surface, so the risk is light bouncing past the sign edge or spilling off the top. Choosing a shade that contains the beam, setting the arm length so the pattern lands on the sign rather than past it, and keeping output proportionate to the sign size all help.

Many municipalities regulate sign illumination directly. Check the local ordinance before specifying.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many gooseneck lights do I need for my sign?

It depends on the width of the sign, how far the fixtures stand off it, and the beam spread of the shade you choose. Evenly spaced fixtures at moderate output usually give a smoother wash than a few very bright ones. Send the sign dimensions and we will help work it out.

What length gooseneck arm do I need?

The arm length sets how far the fixture projects and therefore how much of the sign face the beam covers. Taller signs generally need a longer arm so the light reaches the bottom edge. Sidewalk clearance and wind exposure can limit how far you can project.

What is the difference between a gooseneck light and a barn light?

They overlap. A barn light is a shade profile, the classic warehouse dome. A gooseneck is the curved arm it mounts on. You can have a barn shade on a gooseneck arm or on a straight arm, and gooseneck arms take other shade profiles too.

Can gooseneck lights be used for something other than signs?

Yes, and they often are. The same fixtures light entries, loading doors, patios, awnings and facades. Anywhere you want a controlled downward wash on a wall surface with a visible architectural fixture.

Are ground mounted sign lights better for monument signs?

Usually, because a monument sign has nothing above it to mount to. Ground mounted fixtures uplight the face from in front of the sign. Aiming matters, since a badly aimed uplight throws glare at drivers rather than light at the sign.

Do LED gooseneck fixtures come in different color temperatures?

Yes. Cooler temperatures read crisp and modern, warmer temperatures read traditional and suit brick and wood facades. The right choice depends on the sign colors and the building, and some municipalities cap color temperature outdoors.
