Front-lit, halo-lit and combination channel letters for Pasadena storefronts, restaurants and shopping centers, built with UL-listed LED modules and power supplies.
Pasadena LED Signs
Custom commercial LED signage for Pasadena, California and Los Angeles County: channel letters, pylon and monument signs, LED message centers, digital billboards and sign repair. Designed, permitted and installed to local code.
American LED Signage serves Pasadena and the rest of Los Angeles County with custom LED business signs: storefront channel letters, freeway pylons, monument signs, programmable LED displays and ongoing sign service, all built to local code.
Every city writes its own sign rules. In Pasadena, sign permits are issued by the city's building or planning department (or by Los Angeles County for properties in unincorporated areas), and allowances for size, height, setbacks, illumination and digital displays depend on the zoning district and the street the property faces. Signs visible from interstates and state highways may also need state outdoor-advertising review. We confirm the rules for your parcel before design starts, so the sign you approve is the sign that gets permitted.

Pasadena FAQ
Common questions about Pasadena sign projects
Does American LED Signage serve Pasadena, CA?
Yes. We design, permit, fabricate and install commercial LED signs in Pasadena and nearby communities including Altadena, South Pasadena, Arcadia, Glendale, San Marino and Sierra Madre, plus the rest of California.
Do I need a permit for a business sign in Pasadena?
In most cases, yes. Permanent signs, and almost all illuminated and freestanding signs, need a sign permit from the City of Pasadena (or Los Angeles County for unincorporated areas). Many signs also need an electrical permit. We prepare the drawings and handle the submittal.
How long do sign permits take in Pasadena?
It depends on the sign type, the zoning district, whether a variance or design review is needed, and the city's current workload. Simple wall signs move fastest; freestanding signs with engineering take longer. We give you a project-specific timeline with your quote.
How much does an LED sign cost in Pasadena?
We don't publish prices because every sign is custom. Cost depends on size, sign type, illumination, materials, engineering and foundation, electrical work, permits and installation access. Request a free quote and we'll price your exact project.
Can I put an LED message center on my sign in Pasadena?
Often, yes, but electronic message displays are regulated: many cities limit brightness, message hold time, animation and where digital signs are allowed. We check Pasadena's rules for your property before design.
Do you repair existing signs in Pasadena?
Yes. We repair and maintain existing signs in Pasadena, including LED retrofits of older fluorescent and neon signs, face replacement, power supply and module replacement, and storm damage repair.
