An airfield guidance sign is provided. The airfield guidance sign has a housing with a display side. At least a portion of the display side is able to transmit light. For example, the display side may have a portion which is transparent or translucent. The airfield guidance sign includes an LED printed wiring assembly (“PWA”) mounted within the housing. The LED PWA has one or more LEDs configured to provide illumination to the display side of the housing. The illumination may be direct or indirect. The LEDs of the LED PWA are coated in an epoxy.
