Cost
Your business requires a sign to grab customers’ attention in cities or towns with heavy traffic. Illuminated channel letters are an ideal solution, as they are highly visible and customizable with any color to meet your brand’s logo or business identity. Plus, these signs are more durable than neon and don’t contain mercury which harms the environment!
Costs associated with illuminated signage vary based on its location. Signs on buildings near beaches may require more maintenance due to salt in the air which accelerates deterioration; furthermore, UV rays from sunlight can shorten LED lifespan and cause premature degradation.
LEDs are more energy efficient than neon, and can be installed in various configurations such as face-lit and halo lit signs. To get an estimate of your illuminated signage costs, use the Channel Letter Pricing Calculator by inputting both the number of LEDs per letter and their individual prices into it.
Durability
Illuminated channel letters are an effective way of drawing customers in. Indoors or outdoors, this sign type can increase brand visibility while simultaneously cutting energy costs. But installation must be carried out properly to achieve optimal results.
Channel letter signs can be customized with either face-lit or halo-lit LED illumination; face-lit signs use traditional illumination while halo-lit ones employ LEDs to envelop each character in light for an attractive “halo” effect. Halo-lit channel letters are an increasingly popular choice among businesses utilizing illuminated signage in retail environments.

Styles
Channel letter signage is an eye-catching solution that makes an impactful statement about their business, making a lasting impression and drawing customers’ eyes to its location. Perfect for restaurants that stay open late, it comes in various styles and sizes to match any business space whether mounted front or side of building.
Front-lit channel letters use super bright LED illumination to illuminate their letter faces, providing superior visibility and readability from a distance. Plus, they’re more affordable than neon signs with longer lasting LED bulbs!
Back-lit channel letters (commonly known as reverse or halo channels) illuminate the sides of letters to create a halo effect, giving them an eye-catching halo effect. Available in several configurations – such as combination signs that feature both front-lit illumination with back-lit halo lighting effects – some of the best back-lit channels feature optical modules that redirect LED beam angles for improved light scattering performance, leading to brighter brightness and uniform illumination across their surface area.
Installation
Illuminated channel letter signs are increasingly popular with business owners looking to draw customers in after dark. These signs can either be front- or backlit and come in various colors; LED lighting is generally preferred over neon due to lower labor costs and greater energy efficiency.
An essential element of diffused strip lighting is the lens, which may be clear, opaque or semi-opaque depending on its intended use. Lenses designed specifically to diffuse light effectively and reduce bright spots often present on LED strips are essential.
Once installed, letters can be attached to their bases and secured to the installation surface. Next comes wiring up to power source while adhering to all electrical safety guidelines; and finally testing of lights and bulbs via multimeter/volt tester to ensure everything works as it should.
