The Edgewood lighted address plaques are available in three different shapes:

1. Horizontal rectangular address sign

As well, up to four 4-inch high address numbers can be selected for each of these three shapes and their color will match the finish selected for the body of the lighted address plaque.

For larger illuminated address signs, consider the Bayside illuminated address plaque, which features 6” high home address numbers.
