Installing your VARMYRA address sign

What's in the box

  • Your personalized address sign
  • Stainless steel standoff mounts and screws (wall plugs included for masonry)
  • If you ordered the lit version: pre-installed LED lighting, 12V power adapter, and low-voltage cable
  • A printed copy of this guide

Mounting your sign (about 15 minutes)

  1. Hold the sign against the wall where you want it and mark the mounting holes with a pencil. Use a level to keep it straight.
  2. Drill the marked holes. For brick or stone, use a masonry bit and the included wall plugs. For wood siding or studs, the screws go in directly.
  3. Screw the standoff bases into the wall.
  4. Place the sign over the standoffs and tighten the standoff caps by hand. Don't overtighten — snug is enough.

If you ordered the lit version

Your sign arrives with the LED lighting already installed behind the front panel — there's nothing to assemble.

  1. Your sign runs on safe low voltage (12V), the same as a doorbell. The part that plugs into the wall — the power adapter — is not waterproof, so it stays indoors.
  2. Plug the adapter into any indoor outlet (a hallway, garage, or entry closet socket is perfect).
  3. Run the thin low-voltage cable from the adapter to the sign. It can follow baseboards and trim, pass through the gap in door weatherstripping, or through a small drilled hole. Keep the cable tucked along edges so it stays out of sight.
  4. Connect the cable to the sign's lead wire, switch on, and enjoy the glow.

Colours: Warm White (3000K) is a soft, cozy glow. Natural White (4000K) is clean and neutral. Cool White (6000K) is bright and crisp.

Want a new outdoor outlet instead? If you'd prefer an outlet installed near your door for the cleanest setup, please have that done by a licensed electrician. The sign itself is low-voltage and safe to install yourself — only new house wiring needs a pro.

Good to know:

  • The LED strip is outdoor-rated and sealed; all outdoor connections on your sign are weatherproofed at our studio.
  • Heat is not a concern — the LEDs run only slightly warm and are completely safe on acrylic.
  • A plug-in timer or dusk-to-dawn sensor (available at any hardware store) can switch your sign on at sunset automatically.

Care

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents on acrylic. Your sign is made for Canadian weather — snow, rain, and freeze-thaw included.
