About This Calculator

OSRAM SYLVANIA LED SIGNAGE CALCULATOR is an online program that calculates the quantity of LED products needed for a particular Signage. Simply enter few parameter such as, the Signage Channel length (Lc), Channel width (Wc), and Channel depth (Dc), and the CALCULATOR determines the number of LED reels and Power supplies needed to power up the Signage.
If you need further assistance please contact OSRAM SYLVANIA’s customer service representative in your area.

How To use It

Use the CALCULATOR to determine an estimated parts list and quantity for your specific Signage project.
3D Signage Letter showing Channel length (Lc),  Channel width (Wc), and  Channel depth (Dc).
The CALCULATOR determines the number of products required for your project. To begin estimating, simply choose from the menu above the type of LED product you want to perform the calculation. In this case, the CALCULATOR page opens in a new browser window or in a new Tab.
The picture to the right is a three dimensional Signage letter. The LED modules are placed inside the Signage letter. A description of measuring the Channel Length (Lc), Channel Width (Wc),Channel Depth (Dc) are shown. If you need more information, click on the picture to obtain how to measure the dimensions.
In the yellow input fields of the CALCULATOR’S page. Do the following:
  1. Type in the Channel Letter.
  2. Type in its corresponding Channel Length (Lc).
  3. Type in its corresponding Channel Width (Wc).
  4. Type in its corresponding Channel Depth.
  5. Repeat the process for each additional Signage Letter.
  6. Once you input all you data, Click on the 'Calculate BOM' button for the results.
If you have fewer than 12 Signage letters, disregard the additional inputs. If you have more than 12 Signage letters add the results by running the CALCULATOR’S twice. Whenever you see a Obtain additional information., you can click this symbol for additional information.
There are 3 different types of LED modules used for Signage Letters which are: HF2 Chain, BACKlight 2G BL02, and BACKlight 2G BL04.

From the menu above, choose the product, (for now you have a choice of two products: HF2 Chain or B2G_BLO2 Super Red), that you like to perform the Calculation. Depending on what type/version of browser and what browser settings you have, the Calculator opens either in a new window or in a new Tab.

HF2 Chain

OSRAM SYLVANIA’S HF2 Chain LED modules powered by OPTOTRONIC® power supplies, offer an alternative to neon and fluorescent light sources.
HF2 chain
The HF2 Chain module consists of 18 metal core circuit boards each containing 2 Hi-Flux LEDs separated by flexible jumper wires. The HF2 Chain was specifically designed for the sign industry for long life and reduced maintenance operation.

BACKlight 2G BL02

OSRAM SYLVANIA’S BACKlight 2G (B2G) modules powered by OPTOTRONIC® LED power supplies, form a system designed for backlighting channel letters and both are listed in the UL Sign Accessories Manual (SAM).
BACKlight 2G BL02
B2G is available on reels that contain 2 modules in a chain-like structure. Each module has 60 circuit boards containing 2 LEDs connected by flexible jumper wires for a total of 120 LEDs. The B2G modules are a safer and longer life alternative to traditional neon lighting. In comparison to neon, the B2G system provides excellent color and brightness and can be easily installed into channel letters for extremely low maintenance operation.
