SpellBrite is a light-emitting diode (LED) signage system that looks like neon but uses LEDs as its light source. ^[1] The SpellBrite system consists of 47 letters, numbers and symbols that click together and are interchangeable, ^{[2] [3]} which allows a user to create a custom sign message and later reconfigure the sign to a different message. ^[4]

History

SpellBrite was developed by Optiva Technologies based on its Plexineon technology (that was developed by Optiva Technologies under the name iLight Technologies). ^[1] SpellBrite signs are intended to simulate the look of neon signs, but use LEDs for longer life, more durability, lower energy usage, and lighter weight. ^{[2] [5]}

SpellBrite was named Best New Product at the ISA International Sign Expo ^[1] which is organized by the International Sign Association, selected as Retailer Top Pick at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) trade show ^[2] which is run by the Association for Convenience Stores & Fuel Retailing, and was one of ten companies out of 562 to win at the Chicago Innovation Awards in 2013. ^{[6] [7] [8]} The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued six patents for the SpellBrite signage system to Optiva Technologies. ^{[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]}
