Illuminated channel letters help businesses draw customers in while also increasing brand recognition and increasing energy-efficiency. Their LED lighting makes them less costly than neon signage.

Cost

Channel letter lighting can help your business stand out from its competition and increase visibility. It can also serve to highlight certain elements of your storefront or business, like an eye-catching logo or product range – perfect for businesses that remain open after dark, such as restaurants and convenience stores.

LED strip lighting may cost more than neon signs, but it provides several distinct advantages over other lighting solutions. Notably, it consumes less power while being more durable; additionally, there are various color temperatures and brightness levels available.

LED strips also boast the advantage of being compatible with various surfaces, including surface-mounted raceways. This makes installation and maintenance much simpler.

Durability

Neon signs have long been a mainstay for businesses, while LEDs present more modern alternatives that are also more energy efficient. When properly maintained, illuminated channel letter signage may last 10+ years with proper maintenance.

Channel letters are three-dimensional sign elements fabricated from sheet metal that has been cut to shape, and then lit from within or externally, featuring digitally printed graphics or neon illumination. Non-illuminated channel letters, known as dimensional letters, feature unlit 3-D graphic elements attached to sign panels or monuments and don’t require illumination for use.

Illuminated channel letters are not just limited to retail stores; they’re also ideal for lighting restaurants, pubs and other businesses that remain open after dark. Available in various colors to match your brand’s color scheme as well as various depths to meet individual business needs, illuminated channel letters are the ideal lighting solution.

Appearance

Channel letter signs are custom-crafted metal letters used both inside and outside public and commercial buildings. They may be illuminated or unilluminated, and may feature dynamic features tailored specifically to your branding needs. Illuminated signs use translucent acrylic materials which allow light to shine through from behind and illuminate the front face, creating front lit signs which are easy to read from long distances while reverse lit signs create a halo effect when lit from behind; dual lit signs use both methods simultaneously for maximum effect.

Traditional neon lighted channels look good at night, but tend to fade with time and use up quite a lot of energy. LED Neon Flex offers much superior illumination compared to its neon predecessor.

Lighting Options

Illuminated channel letter signs are an ideal solution for businesses that wish to attract customers and increase visibility after dark. Available in an assortment of fonts, colors, and sizes – making them fully customizable to match your brand’s image – these signs are easy for customers to read when compared with other forms of signage and are typically seen at malls and shopping centers as they can be mounted directly to walls, backer panels, or raceways for convenient installation.

Back-lit channel letters use LED lights to illuminate the letters and logo of your business, often seen at restaurants that stay open past dark. Furthermore, this form of illumination works great when lighting complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to illuminate with front-lit signs.

Combining front and back illumination is an ideal solution for businesses that wish to increase their visibility after dark, such as restaurants, pubs, and grills with distinctive logos or branding.
