Snapper 30 Posted April 28, 2011 I thought lighted sign boxes required some sort of certification.... It's all in the local code some large municipality require UL listed. All require makers id date of manufacture, volts, amp, watts. All components from ballast to lamp has been UL approved as long as you use them inline with the guide line of that listing. But you have to understand the why's and the how's of cabinet construction. If you have no practical experience in welding... metal forming and electrical wiring. Best call a wholesaler or farm it out to another. It is not like placing vinyl if something fails people can get hurt and property can be damaged. So first step is call your insurance carry and have a rider added for that type of work and raise your limit to 3-5 million in other words expect a large increase in your monthly premium.
