The product was utilized by Butterfield Signs with great success at McDonald's Restaurant in Oxford Street, London. The Rainbow system was mounted behind large glass panels stretching 13m long and 2.4m high - to spectacular effect. The project impressed the judging panel at this year's Sign Industry Awards, and Butterfield Signs won the accolade 'Best Illuminated Sign 2004'.
The Rainbow system allows the use of smaller, thinner and brighter light sources and angled reflectors to create greater light intensity. Butterfield Signs specified T5 lamps for the project, in order to benefit from their high level of colour consistency, which lasts throughout the 20,000-hour lifespan of the source. The flexible design of the Rainbow system is ideal for use in modular projects as they fit snugly into 2", 3", 4" and 5" enclosures.
