Abstract
A multi-position edgelit sign is described wherein a lens is removably affixable to a mounting housing assembly. A LED lightbar is mountable at different positions within the mounting housing assembly in order to properly illuminate the lens and may be mounted in various positions such that the lens may be affixed to the mounting housing assembly at different angles. Further, removable inserts are provided such that the signage on the lens may be adaptable to field specified characteristics thereby not requiring preprinted signs to be manufactured depending on these characteristics.
