Channel letters can be an effective way of drawing attention and advertising your business, drawing passersby in. But it’s important to choose them carefully so they match up well with your storefront design and help bring in new customers.

Illuminated channel letters often utilize LED lighting, which is more energy efficient and thus saves you money in the long run.

Durability

Channel letters made of high-grade materials can be extremely durable. Furthermore, they’re cost-effective compared to other forms of signage and more energy-efficient than their alternatives – plus you can customize their style and color according to your branding specifications!

Signs using LED technology consume significantly less energy than neon signs, providing greater flexibility for use and creating twinkling effects that attract customers while increasing brand recognition. They are great way to attract potential buyers while also expanding brand recognition.

These signs come in various shapes and sizes, making them popular choices in shopping malls and commercial buildings. Constructed of aluminum with stainless-steel returns, their faces typically feature transparent acrylic that lets light pass freely through. If you want a classic touch, reverse-lit signs might be your perfect match – they provide lighting directed toward the letter face for an illuminating “halo” effect surrounding each letter in their alphabet.

Lightweight

Channel letters led lights are easy to install and maintain thanks to their lightweight nature, plus their reduced risk of breakage in comparison with traditional neon illuminated signs, thus saving money over time.

These signs are typically made of aluminum and feature a back with an acrylic face that can be custom painted to reflect your business branding. Furthermore, their returns (sides of letters) can be bent into their desired shapes by welding or bending together aluminum pieces forming their returns (sides of letters).

Front-lit channel letter signage is one of the most commonly seen forms of channel letter signage, featuring internal lighting within each fabricated character to project your name outwards towards the public. This lighting option can either be done using translucent acrylic faces or left open for your preferred lighting color – customizable to match any brand colors using vinyl or digital prints – making them a great option for high visibility locations like malls, strip centers and commercial businesses.

Energy efficiency

Channel letters offer an economical solution to making your business visible, being highly visible day and night from afar, as well as being equipped with energy-saving LED lights which reduce electricity costs while also leading to reduced maintenance bills in the long run.

Channel letter signage offers a professional appearance tailored specifically to meet the branding standards of any organization, while standing up better against harsh weather conditions than other dimensional sign types. While prolonged sunlight exposure may fade the colors in other dimensional signs, illuminated channel letters with front-lit acrylic faces resist UV damage.

SloanLED provides both face and halo lit channel letter LED lighting that can be mounted atop monuments, walls, or custom bases. Furthermore, they can also be placed perpendicularly to aluminum faces and returns for a softer ambiance that’s easier on the eye – this option is popular among retailers, restaurants, and businesses that want their message seen from a distance.

Customization

LED channel letters offer you the power to design a customized business sign that stands out. Choose a font that reflects the style and image of your brand, then add photos for extra impact and customer acquisition. Just beware not to overdo it – too much information may make the sign look messy or disorganized!

Add back-lit or reverse halo channels to your signage for added dimension. These signs are mounted away from walls and lit from behind, creating an eye-catching “halo” effect around your company name or logo. They come complete with aluminum faces or transparent acrylic, with clear polycarbonate backings designed to prevent birds from nesting inside each letter.

Illuminated LED channel letters offer an ideal alternative to neon, which has become more expensive and fragile over time. Installed more easily and consuming less energy than its neon predecessor, illuminated LED letters are easily customizable to meet the branding needs of businesses of all kinds, lasting longer than traditional signage options.
