Channel letters can help your business attract attention after hours. Available with or without illumination, channel letters provide a cost-effective alternative to neon signs.
Make sure that the channels are installed according to electrical safety regulations, and test their wiring using a multimeter.
Cost
If you want a sign to draw customers in at night, consider an LED channel letter sign. These signs employ LED illumination that provides more focused lighting than neon tubes while being more cost effective to maintain and requiring smaller transformers and less electricity than traditional neon signs.
Cost factors affecting channel letter prices vary by size, material used and installation expenses; LED module prices also play a part. A diffuser may be added to cover and improve diffusion of an LED strip which reduces light points while increasing overall brightness.
Illuminated channel letters are highly visible from long distances and make a great statement in any business environment. Ideal for restaurants, retail and office buildings alike; combined with ground signs like monument or pylon signs they offer an elegant professional appearance that can also be customized to match branding standards. Plus they’re more durable than other forms of signage when protected against weather damage!
Durability
Channel letters are tough signs designed to withstand adverse weather conditions, usually constructed out of aluminum and customized painted with an eye-catching, polished appearance. Channel letters make an excellent way for businesses looking to attract customers while increasing visibility; their variety of sizes also allows businesses to meet any unique business requirements.
These signs are made with durable materials and long-life LED lights for ease of maintenance and a long lifespan, making them an excellent investment in your business. Plus, their energy efficient features could save money on electricity costs!
Your sign’s durability depends on its location and material of construction. For instance, signs exposed to salt air could corrode faster than others; aluminum offers superior resistance against corrosion than other metals like steel or iron and is capable of withstanding rough handling during shipping and installation.
Lights
Illuminated channel letters can be an effective way to draw customers and expand visibility for your business. Custom-designed to reflect your brand and durable enough for harsh weather conditions, illuminated channel letters can attract customers while being energy efficient and help lower electricity bills.
Make them more eco-friendly by selecting LED lights instead of neon. LED bulbs use less power, are more resilient, last longer and require fewer repairs compared with fluorescent or neon lighting.
Front lit channels consist of aluminum backs and sides (called returns ), with clear acrylic faces that let 85-95 percent of light pass through. Often painted in a contrasting hue and fastened directly to its respective return, front lit channels contain LED light sources housed within their own “cans.” To complete their look, trim caps may also be added for finishing touches.
Installation
Channel letters attract attention day and night, making them one of the most sought-after forms of business signage. Available in an assortment of shapes, fonts, sizes, and colors that suit any business, these signs are an environmentally and economically sound choice with energy-saving LED lighting capabilities available as an additional feature.
Illuminated signs are ideal for retail stores, strip malls, offices and other commercial buildings. They’re typically mounted on monument or pylon signs for easy viewing from monuments or pylons and custom-fabricated. Their aluminum faces can be painted with standard colors or customized with brand-specific hues through Pantone Matching System.
Installing channel letter signs is an easy and straightforward process that involves gathering up all necessary equipment, tools and supplies; creating and removing templates as needed (if applicable); installing and securing bases (where appropriate); testing wiring; running it until completion (where applicable); adding finishing touches where desired; all this can be handled by an established signage company.
