
Easily replace traditional L-858 signs

Each module is mounted on an evenly spaced pair of legs

Slip-flanges hold the legs secure with almost no gap in the assembly

Environmental forces are shared by legs and cabinet, and not concentrated on hardware

Each rounded face if made from expertly formed acrylic

Size 1 & 2 signs available with optional Herculens panel (Herculens panels come factory installed on size 3 D-Lux signs)

Legend panels are connected by translucent panel joints, which are welded together with adhesive and additionally reinforced with stainless steel hardware

Every module features a top that is designed to easily guide the edge of the panels into place when it is replaced after re-lamping, and is fixed to the sign with 2 turn fasteners - no tools are required for re-lamping

Base model brightness controls use technology that has been proven for years in the field

Optional Style U power control system - a passive, non-inductive design that exhibits near-
unity power factors on all regulator steps


The Herculens is the most durable sign panel
on the market today. It comes factory installed
in AGM’s patented Size 3 D-Lux brand rounded
signs. More than 50% thicker than other panels,
it is CNC-machined and expertly formed for a
solid fit. The Herculens is unyielding to jet blast, even when used
without internal bracing or other cabinet modifications.
The use of Herculens panels to upgrade Size 1, 2 and 3 Lumacurve®
signs has been approved for AIP funding.
