LED channel letters are an excellent way to promote your business. Not only are they effective at drawing customers in, they are also cost-effective and long-lasting – making LED channel letters the ideal way to advertise any company!
Letter faces are created from flat sheets of metal – usually aluminum since it won’t rust – that are cut into individual letters. A flange is then formed along the edge of each sign to hold it within its “can,” which contains LED lighting modules.
Customization
Channel letters offer endless customization possibilities that will fit seamlessly with your brand’s vision. They come in various sizes, fonts, and colors so that your sign stands out from competitors – you could even opt for LED lighting to reduce energy costs!
Fabricated channel letter signs are constructed with an aluminum back, acrylic sides (called returns ), and a trim cap. Typical front illumination using LEDs is preferred but they may also be halo illuminated to give an appealing neon look.
Plastic signs can be custom shaped to suit any space where they’re installed, and used both vertically and horizontally. Highly visible during both day and night, making them the perfect signage solution for many businesses. Durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions while being energy efficient: using less energy than neon and lasting for much longer than their neon counterparts.
Visibility
Channel letters provide businesses with an opportunity to create custom, eye-catching signage solutions that stand out in an eye-catching and memorable way. No matter if it is located on a bustling shopping strip, freeway or corporate skyscraper, channel letters will make an impactful statement about who your company is while giving customers a direct path towards it.
These signs are made out of metal sheets – usually aluminum – bent into shape using computer-driven bending machines. Their sides, known as returns, may then be painted custom colors or fitted with lighting components like neon gas tubes or more energy efficient LEDs.
Front-lit channel letters are an increasingly popular option that allow each character to be illuminated with one color while their halo backlighting contrasts in another hue, giving businesses the power to emphasize their brand colors while creating a consistent appearance that’s visible day or night.
Durability
LED channel letters are an ideal solution for businesses open after dark, such as restaurants and bars, due to their durability. They can withstand harsh weather conditions while remaining vibrant both during daylight hours as well as when illuminated at night.
These signs are typically constructed of durable aluminum that can withstand fire. Their transparent face allows 85-95% of light through, making them an excellent way to attract customers from afar.
Front-lit channel letter signs’ durability depends on their placement and lighting system, typically lasting 10 years with proper maintenance using gentle cleaning supplies. They may degrade over time if used longer; luminous decay should be taken into consideration to avoid degeneration over time.
Energy Efficiency
LED channel letter signs from a reputable sign company offer significant energy savings when compared with neon signs, are safe in harsh weather conditions and ideal for businesses that remain open after dark such as bars, restaurants and gas stations.
Lighting used on an LED sign has an enormous effect on its brightness. To achieve maximum illumination, select a higher-brightness LED strip mounted to an aluminum LED channel designed to dissipate heat and protect it from damage; trim caps made from plastic, acrylic or stainless steel can ensure durability and rust resistance; SloanLED’s Prism12 offers impressive efficacies of up to 135 lm/W for its 12V channel as well as offering an industry-leading 10-year parts and labor assistance warranty.
