My name is Amid Yousef, I am the owner and inventor who figured how to make this sign operate continuously for months at a time by removing all the parts that kept letting me down, like the computer… yes this sign works without a computer using my US Patent #9812044 and I’ve testing and perfecting since 2008. I can be reached by email at amid@ledsignz.com or by filling out the form at the bottom of most pages. If one of our Independent Sellers sent you, please say his name in the notes so I can give them credit.
