Channel letter led lights are a popular alternative to neon signs, as they employ low voltage for greater safety against arcing and fire hazards, require less maintenance, and have longer lifespans.
Optics-based modules from GE take advantage of native LED beam angles to redirect them laterally, producing excellent uniformity across large letter faces and significantly reducing the number of modules required, leading to cost savings and providing significant cost reductions.
Easy to Install
Channel letters are three-dimensional signs that draw customers’ attention day and night to your business, whether daytime or nighttime. Channel letters can be brightly-colored for playful effect or illuminated to give an upscale, formal aesthetic – they’re great ways to stand out amongst competitors by adding depth that flat signs just can’t provide!
Illuminated channel letters utilize LED lighting to illuminate their acrylic faces, which may be translucent or open. With multiple font styles and sizes to choose from, illuminated channel letters make an eye-catching statement while their energy efficient LED bulbs save money on electricity costs.
Installing signage can be straightforward, though some tools and supplies will be necessary to do it efficiently. Begin by gathering all required equipment, as well as assessing manpower needs for your project. Next, create and place any needed templates (if applicable), install channel letter bases on installation surface securely, test wiring connections before placing and securing sign faces if applicable.
Easy to Maintain
Neon tubes, unlike channel letters, can break at any moment and require expensive repairs; while their sturdy nature means that channel letters will continue looking great for years without needing repairs – saving both money and maintenance expenses!
LEDs consume significantly less energy than neon signs, providing significant savings on utility costs over time.
Illuminated signs are vulnerable to sun damage, which can shorten their lifespan over time. By choosing high-quality materials and limiting exposure to harsh weather conditions, you can help extend its lifespan and ensure its continued functionality.
Energy Efficient
Channel letter signs use LED lighting which is much more energy-efficient and long-term than neon. Furthermore, its efficiency ratio (lumens per watt) allows it to shine brighter while using less electricity – saving money with each electric bill you open! This savings will definitely show in your bill.
Illuminated channel letters stand out against the darkness, drawing passersby’s attention and instantly being recognized. Their high visibility makes them ideal for businesses with strong brand identities or those looking to set themselves apart from competitors.
Illuminated channel letters can be front lit, reversed or front/back lit (duel lit). Fabricated from materials such as aluminum and plexiglass, their return or sides typically consist of coiled aluminum sheeting painted a custom color before backlighting for silhouette effect or front lighting with a halo effect; non-illuminated versions also exist.
Longevity
Illuminated channel letters vary in their lifespan depending on the materials they are constructed from and where they are displayed, but with proper maintenance they can last many years and draw additional traffic into your business. They’re an effective way of drawing attention and increasing exposure.
LEDs have become the technology of choice for cabinet signs in recent years. Their wide variety of color, spacing and beam angle options help save on installation time while offering greater color versatility and saving on time costs.
LED signs are built for durability and can withstand rough handling, road bumps and light jarring – perfect for high traffic environments. LEDs also have heat sinks which absorb and dissipate their generated heat so you don’t need to worry about overheating or burning out – prolonging their beauty over time while cutting service calls and replacement costs considerably! It makes an excellent investment!
