Channel letters are illuminated signage designed to increase business visibility. As an economical and low maintenance alternative to neon and fluorescent signs, channel letters make an excellent way of advertising your business.

Low voltage LED lights are safer to use due to a reduced risk of arcing and fire hazards, and installation should be simpler as a result.

Benefits

Channel letter signage can be an economical marketing solution for your business, providing increased visibility both during daylight and at night, and increasing traffic flow. Furthermore, channel letters are more durable than other signs and can be tailored specifically to suit the branding requirements of each organization.

These letters come in different styles, including standard front lit, reverse illuminated and open-face. Each style offers distinct advantages; standard front-lit channel letters consist of aluminum faces and sides (called returns ) illuminated internally by LEDs or neon. Furthermore, plastic trim caps bind them all together.

Reverse illuminated and open-face channel letters consist of identical components; however, their acrylic faces are detached from their returns for a unique halo effect. This sign type is commonly seen on high-visibility buildings such as shopping malls and office complexes; additionally they’re great options for businesses that lack outdoor signage space.

Installation

Channel letters are one of the fastest-growing types of signage, drawing visitors into businesses both day and night. Custom fabricated to your specifications, channel letters can attract traffic for businesses of any size – especially at night when illuminated!

Front lit channel letters (also known as standard or face-illuminated channel letters) are the most prevalent type of illuminated letter signage and feature acrylic faces in various colors fastened to aluminum “cans” via plastic trim caps.

Back lit or reverse halo channel letters are illuminated from behind each character to produce an elegant glow, creating a halo effect around their lettering. They can be made out of neon or LED lighting; LED illumination being more efficient in terms of energy use compared to neon – more eco-friendly and cost effective, less likely to damage by heat exposure as well as less susceptible to damage from heat damage than neon lights.

Materials

When creating an illuminated channel letter sign, only use top-quality materials. Cheap trim caps and acrylic front surfaces may corrode quickly and tarnish your business image, while materials chosen will affect its lifespan depending on its location – such as salt air accelerating deterioration of metals or painted elements near beaches, while prolonged sunlight exposure could fade some signs over time.

Illuminated channel letters are one of the best ways to attract customers day and night to your business, whether indoor or outdoor signage is required. Available in various shapes, sizes, colors and lighting options they are easily customizable to meet specific branding needs like programmable LED pixels or flexible tube lights; installation is quick and maintenance is minimal making them ideal for businesses that must constantly draw customers in.

Maintenance

Channel letter lights are custom-crafted metal or plastic letters commonly found in exterior and interior signage. They can be illuminated or non-illuminated and feature dynamic features to strengthen your business message.

Channel letters may be either directly mounted or flush mounted. Direct mounting employs a raceway – an enclosure designed to conceal and protect electrical components – while flush mounts attach directly to buildings without using raceways or backer mounts.

Illuminated signs require special care in order to maintain their brightness over time, including protecting them from extreme weather conditions such as rain, hail and snow. Furthermore, high-quality materials that resist sun damage should be utilized.
