Lighted signs help your business stand out in the nighttime marketplace and attract attention to your brand, but can be an energy drain. Premium LED lighting systems offer significant cost-cutting potential by offering savings in installation, power consumption and maintenance expenses.
A typical metal channel letter sign consists of a flat sheet of metal – typically aluminum – of various thicknesses that is bent into shape using computerized bending machines to form returns on all four sides of its sheeting.
1. Energy-efficient
LED signs are energy-efficient, meaning your business will save on electricity costs in the long run. Their bright lights also make reading the letters from faraway easier.
These signs come in an assortment of colors, fonts, shapes, sizes and combinations so that you can select the ideal design for your business. Furthermore, they’re highly visible both day and night – providing your company with 24-hour marketing success!
Contrary to neon signs, LED signs require no special maintenance and have twice the lifespan.
Signs constructed of translucent acrylic allow light to pass through and illuminate its lettering, drawing customers’ attention. You’ll often see these in shopping malls, strip centers, and other retail locations. They can be mounted directly onto walls, backer panels, or raceways.
2. Longevity
Illuminated channel letters have become one of the most widely-used types of exterior/outdoor signage today. Their stylish halo lit signs provide excellent readability in low light conditions – an invaluable asset for restaurants or other businesses that remain open long after nightfall has set in.
Not only are outdoor signs durable, they’re also extremely enduring – meaning no worries of breaking under pressure or wear and tear for years on end – which saves money in maintenance appointments.
LED lighting has the potential to last up to 10 years or longer depending on their placement and frequency of usage. You can even design it so it twinkles, drawing attention and increasing visibility; and is available in an assortment of fonts, shapes and colors to meet the needs of your business. LED signage advertising offers businesses looking for ways to stand out from their competition an excellent and cost-effective solution.

3. Durability
LEDs are more resilient than their neon tube counterparts and require far fewer maintenance appointments, saving both money and energy bills over time. Their robust nature means longer sign lifespan and less frequent maintenance visits for storefront signs using LED technology. LED durability also saves you money in energy bills over the lifecycle of a sign!
LED signage can increase visibility after dark and build brand recognition from a distance, making it the ideal solution for restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores and pubs/bars that stay open late at night.
LED channel letters come in three distinct varieties. The most popular variant is front-lit with lights shining up from within; second is back-lit where an aluminum frame houses letters illuminated on their reverse sides to create a halo effect; and finally there’s pure acrylic for those seeking a front-lit sign without trim cap that are ideal for clothing shop, ceramic store and tool store logo signs.
4. Recyclable
Channel letter signs offer your business an eye-catching appearance. Their distinctive lighting draws in customers from far away and ensures your company stands out. Plus, channel letter signs are more energy efficient than traditional neon signage, saving money on electricity costs.
LED lights offer greater durability than neon tubes, which are vulnerable to breakage. Their long lifespan means less costly maintenance appointments and repairs in the long run.
Mounting options vary for signs, such as raceway mounts and backer mounts. A raceway mount uses a rectangular frame that houses electrical components for your sign while backer mounts employ flat panels or metal cabinets that serve as “frames.” When choosing front-lit channel letters with translucent acrylic faces illuminated from behind by front/back lighting or combination lighting systems, these letters will illuminate with glowing translucent acrylic faces visible through transparent acrylic backgrounds at nighttime – front/back lighting allows you to use different color backdrops to maximize night visibility!
