6Why 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.
7What are the advantages of aluminum over other materials?
Pound for pound, aluminum is more durable than steel and other plastic materials 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.

11Can I install Special Lite Products myself?
Our mailboxes, posts, street signage, and address plaques are easy to install. Assembly and installation instructions are available to download on our Resources page. Outdoor lighting involves electrical work and should be installed by a licensed electrician.
12What are the regulations for curbside mailbox installation?
Generally, curbside mailboxes should be installed at a height of 41–45 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry. Mailboxes are set back 6–8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.
13Are 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.
14What type of street name signs and traffic signs do I need?
Local municipalities often determine what size and types of signs are needed for your streets. Requirements often change so we strongly encourage you to check with the municipal authority for regulations and guidelines.
15Are street signs equipped with reflective materials?
Various grades of high quality reflective vinyl are available. We recommend that you review the MUTCD guidelines for reflectivity requirements for your specific project. Your Special Lite sales representative can also provide additional assistance.
