Optimizing the lighting for your double-sided cabinet sign using Tetra Snap DS involves careful consideration of module spacing and brightness. Here's a guide to help you get the best results:
-
Module Spacing: The recommended module spacing is directly related to the depth of your cabinet sign. The Tetra Snap DS manual provides specific guidelines, with maximum stroke depths varying based on sign depth. For example, signs with a depth between 10" and 12" may have a recommended maximum stroke. Deeper signs will have greater stroke allowances. Always consult the manual for your specific sign dimensions for the most accurate spacing recommendations.
-
Brightness Level Selection: The Tetra Snap DS includes a Brightness Chart, which correlates lumens per foot with customer satisfaction. You can choose from three main output levels, each with different visual impact:
- Regular Output: Delivers approximately 600 lumens per foot.
- High Output: Provides around 750 lumens per foot.
- Ludicrous Mode: Achieves approximately 1000 lumens per foot.
The chart also gives a fun, at-a-glance guide to predicted customer happiness based on the chosen output. Choose the brightness level that best suits your needs and the desired visibility for your sign.

These components offer versatile installation options and ensure compatibility across a range of sign structures.
