Using LED strips to light up a Street sign instead of fluorescent bulbs

A couple of years ago I replaced the non-working five foot fluorescent bulbs in our church street sign with LED's.  However the horizontal strips were visable and became annoying.  So I came up with the idea of using edge lighting.  The LED strips would be on a metal surface so they would be less likely to overheat and burn out.  

I had some 130 per Meter or 36 per foot 2835 SMD LED strips.  They were 10 Meters or 394 inches or 32.8 Feet in length.  They are soft white and run off 12 Volts.  The total power is 90 watts per 10 meters length.  I used two of these strips for four laps around the inside of the sign.  I think if I was to buy them I would get bright white LED's instead.

This is the results as seen at night.  No more horizontal strips of lights!  It does dim a little in the center but it dure looks better.  Now to get a bigger LED sign!
