•
"Opaque" means that light will not pass through the material. Consequently, the color of the background portion of the
face of the sign will not be visible when the sign is internally illuminated at night. If you have any question about this
requirement for an opaque background, do not proceed with the construction or installation of the sign until you have
spoken with County staff.
•
The level of illumination produced by the LED lights shall not exceed the level of illumination produced by a single
stroke of 30 milliamp neon.
