What are Special Lite products made of?

Our products are all manufactured from rust free aluminum and powder coated for a life time of service.  All screws, hinges, and like parts are stainless steel. Outdoor lights include glass panels and globes.

What are the advantages of aluminum over steel?

Pound for pound, aluminum is stronger than steel and easily formed into a variety of shapes.  Most importantly, aluminum provides for a rust free, maintenance free product that weathers well and will last.

Why are your products powder coated?

Powder coating provides a superior finish that is resistant to pealing, blistering, and flaking.  A powder coated finish is applied as a dry powder then baked in an oven at 400 degrees.

Are there street signage regulations I should be aware of? 

Many states, counties, and municipalities have their own regulations governing signage.  Due to the wide range of regulations, we recommend our customers contact their local municipality to determine what regulations exist.  At Special Lite Products, our experience allows us to provide you with the “right questions,” so that there will be no surprises as your project proceeds.

What if my item is damaged, are parts available? 

Special Lite Products has been manufacturing outdoor lighting, street signage, mailboxes, and more for over 40 years.  Parts are available for all our products.

Can I install Special Lite Products myself? 

Our mailboxes, posts, street signage, and address plaques are easy to install and come with their own set of instructions.  Outdoor lighting involves electrical work and should be installed by a licensed electrician.

I live near the ocean, how will these withstand the salt air? 

A powder-coated finish is very resistant to many chemicals, including salt.  For homes and communities near the ocean, Special Lite products should be “the” solution of choice.
