What materials are used in your illuminated chevrons?
Our illuminated chevrons are constructed from a metalled sheet featuring integrated electrodes. These electrodes conduct alternating current, which causes the chevrons to emit a glow. Additionally, the chevrons are UV-protected, waterproof, and come with self-adhesive tape for easy installation.
How are your products powered?
Our products are designed to operate with either a 12V or 24V DC power source, depending on the specific model. They can be powered by a battery pack or through a direct hardwired connection, making them compatible with a wide range of vehicles and units.
Do you offer illuminated panels without vinyl covering?
Yes, we offer illuminated panels without a vinyl covering through our “Naked Kits,” which are available for any design.
What materials are used for your Chapter 8 chevrons?
We use 3M DG Red and yellow reflective materials for our Chapter 8 chevrons, ensuring compliance with Chapter 8 standards. Additionally, we are testing more materials to improve our offerings.
Can these be used on the sides of a vehicle?
Yes, our flexible panels can conform to the contours of your vehicle, providing a seamless and custom fit for the sides, roof, or rear.
Do you create designs other than chevrons?
Blinc Light can create custom illuminated graphics suitable for various purposes, including branding and signage. These graphics can be applied to both vehicles and static signs. However, it’s important to note that the functionality or activation of illuminated vehicle graphics may be restricted by regional regulations. This can be clarified during the design and development process.
Can you illuminate traffic signs?
Yes, we offer illuminated traffic signs such as directional arrows and more to enhance visibility and safety.
What is the average lead time for an order?
Our standard lead time for an order is 3 to 4 working weeks from the date of order placement. This timeframe may vary depending on order volume. We will confirm the lead time at the time of order placement.
Can colours other than red be illuminated?
According to the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989, vehicle-mounted lamps or reflective materials that emit light to the rear must be red in colour.
Is there a warranty on your products?
All our products are covered by a 12-month warranty for any manufacturing defects. We are dedicated to quality, and if any issues arise, we will ensure they are resolved promptly.
