LED channel letter lighting is an extremely efficient way of making your business visible after dark, particularly for restaurants, pubs, bars as well as convenience stores and gas stations.

Though signage trends come and go, illuminated channels remain popular. There are three basic types of illuminated signs: Front-Lit, Reverse-Lit and Dual-Lit signs.

Front-Lit

Front-lit LED channel letter signage enables your business name or logo to be easily seen from faraway throughout the day or night, giving your storefront an air of prominence and providing potential clients with a quick glimpse of your name or logo.

These signs can typically be mounted using either a raceway or flush mount system for optimal results and to hide wiring behind their facades. Both provide for an aesthetically pleasing result while simultaneously concealing wiring behind them.

Raceway mount signs are attached to buildings using aluminum pieces called returns and then an acrylic face of your choosing is secured to it with a trim cap, creating an eye-catching sign.

Back-lit LED channel letter signs are another popular type of illuminated sign, often placed behind company names and logos to give their storefront more prestige. Custom-fabricated to your font and color specifications for maximum branding impact, these signs offer maximum branding impact.

Reverse-Lit

Reverse-Lit channel letters, commonly referred to as Halo Letters, feature backlit illumination from behind that creates a “halo” effect in each letter, creating a classy and unforgettable look for any business.

Aluminum signs with translucent acrylic backs provide maximum visibility day or night. Light can pass through, creating an elegant illuminated outline of your name or logo that ensures maximum exposure for maximum exposure day or night.

Dual-Lit

Front Back Lit Channel Letters offer a professional and attractive signage solution, that is customizable, energy efficient, and straightforward to maintain. They are often chosen as part of formal business aesthetics.

These signs feature perforated black vinyl fronts with small holes to allow light to pass through and illuminate their white faces at night. This method is particularly advantageous in municipalities that restrict which colors you can use as illumination sources.

Reverse Lit Channel Letters, commonly known as Halo Channel Letters, feature aluminum faces and returns that are mounted on standoffs away from the wall, creating an eye-catching halo effect. These channel letters can also be customized in colors or gradients not offered by Front-Lit or Reverse-Lit signs – making them the go-to solution for creating architectural and design impact in their space.

Fabricated

Illuminated channel letter signs are meant to catch passersby’s eyes, making an impactful first impression for businesses that remain open past dark. Malls and indoor plazas also provide protection from elements such as salt air corroding materials, sunlight fading colors, and draining illumination.

Construction starts with a metal base known as a “letter can,” typically constructed of aluminum to prevent rust. Any lighting components such as neon gas tubes or LED modules are then fitted. After assembly is completed, a plastic molded cover – either flat or round depending on desired use – is added for aesthetic effect and added an attractive glow effect.

Illuminated signage can be designed using front-lit acrylic faces, reverse lighting from behind (commonly referred to as halo illumination), or both types combined into one visually striking effect. LED illumination offers more targeted light sources with reduced energy use – leading to significant savings when opening your utility bill!
