An illuminated residential address marker is a fixture designed to display a property’s numerical designation and enhance its visibility, particularly during periods of low ambient light. These markers typically incorporate an internal light source to make the numbers readily discernible from the street. A common example includes a rectangular plaque with integrated LED lights that clearly display the house number at night.
The use of these illuminated markers provides several benefits, including improved emergency response times, enhanced delivery service efficiency, and increased safety for visitors. Historically, various methods, such as reflective materials or separately mounted lights, were employed to address address visibility. Modern illuminated plaques represent a more integrated and aesthetically pleasing solution. Their presence contributes to overall neighborhood safety and can aid in preventing misdeliveries or confusion when locating specific properties.
