What Makes Paxt Designs Solar Address Signs Different
Share
There are a lot of address signs on the market. Most of them look similar in photos and fall short in real life. Here's exactly what sets Paxt Designs apart — and why customers who've tried other signs keep coming back to us.
1. Fully Detachable Solar Panel
Most solar address signs have the panel built directly into the top of the sign. That sounds convenient until you realise it means your sign has to be placed in direct sunlight to work — which often isn't where you need it for visibility.
Our signs are different. The solar panel is completely separate from the main sign frame, connected by an extension wire that gives you full flexibility. Mount the sign wherever it's most visible — even in complete shade — and run the panel to the nearest sunny spot. Maximum visibility and maximum solar charging, without compromise.
Includes a 6×5 solar panel, extension wire, and all hardware for either ground mount or wall mount installation.
2. Superior 360° LED Illumination
Standard solar address signs use a single LED at the top. One light source means uneven illumination — bright at the top, dim at the bottom, dark on the sides.
Our signs are wired on all four sides with up to 200 individual LEDs. Every edge of the sign is lit. Every number glows evenly from top to bottom, left to right. The result is a brilliant, consistent glow that's visible from 70+ feet away in complete darkness — the kind of visibility that a single-LED sign simply cannot match.
3. Fully Enclosed Design — No Light Escape
The frame of every Paxt Designs sign is completely enclosed on all four sides. This matters more than it sounds.
When light escapes through the back or sides of a sign, you lose brightness from the front — the side that actually needs to be visible. Our enclosed design channels every LED toward the numbers, maximising brightness where it counts. The result is a significantly brighter sign than open-backed competitors of the same LED count.
4. Built to Last Outdoors — Permanently
Our signs are coated and sealed to resist everything the outdoors throws at them. No corrosion. No dulling. No fading from UV exposure. The acrylic maintains its finish year after year — your sign will look as sharp in five years as the day it arrives.
This isn't a sign you'll be replacing in two seasons. It's a permanent installation.
5. Automatic Dawn to Dusk Operation
Every sign includes a built-in dawn to dusk sensor. The sign turns on automatically at sunset and off at sunrise — no timers to set, no switches to remember, no app required. It simply works, every night, without any input from you.
6. Flexible Installation — Vertical or Horizontal
Our signs install in minutes with just 6 screws — all hardware included. Ground stakes are included for lawn and driveway installation. Wall mounting hardware is included for post or wall installation. No additional purchases, no trips to the hardware store.
Every sign can be mounted vertically or horizontally depending on your preference and property layout. Most customers are installed and done in under 15 minutes.
7. Large Sizes That Actually Meet 911 Standards
Most address signs are decorative. Ours are functional.
Every Paxt Designs sign is large enough to be clearly visible from the street and meets 911 emergency addressing standards in most US counties. When emergency services need to find your property quickly, your sign is visible from 70+ feet away — day or night.
Available sizes:
- Vertical 8×18
- Vertical 8×24
- Vertical 10×28
- Vertical 12×32
- Vertical 15×32
- Horizontal 20×30

Every sign is custom made to order. Your numbers, your size, your orientation — built specifically for your property.
9. 100% American Made by a Family Business
Every sign is proudly hand-crafted in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida by our family. We've been working in security and outdoor signage for over 20 years. We don't outsource manufacturing. We don't cut corners on materials. Every sign that leaves our workshop meets the standard we'd want installed at our own home.
