This episode dives into the magic of retro sign lighting—chasers, tracers, and marquee effects—and why “old-school” still grabs attention (and customers). Aaron sits down with a lighting veteran to unpack controllers, patterns, color temperature choices, and practical ways to bring kinetic motion back to your installs. From go‑kart tracks to storefronts, learn how to design lighting that sells, not just shines.

🔥 Topics Covered:

✅ Chaser/tracer basics and marquee aesthetics.

✅ Controllers, patterns, and timing for motion.

✅ LED options, color temps, dimming, and maintenance.

✅ Practical installs (entertainment, retail, attractions).

✅ Tips for layout, spacing, and customer hand‑holding.

📣 Retro motion sells—learn how to spec, program, and deploy it the smart way.
