Illuminated channel letters are one of the most versatile business sign options, offering your company maximum visibility while helping your brand to stand out and attract customers. These signs come in a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes so that it will help make you stand out and bring in customers!

Installing channel letters may seem simple, but it is crucial that all steps be followed carefully for successful installation. This includes prepping the installation surface, creating and placing any needed templates (if applicable), securing their base, running and testing their wiring, as well as mounting any sign faces that need installation.

Face-Lit

Front-Lit, also referred to as Face-Lit LED Channel Letters are one of the most frequently used types of commercial channel letters for indoor and outdoor business signs. Available both trimless and stainless steel return styles with acrylic faces, stainless steel trim caps and an LED module, these letters have become the go-to sign type.

LED signs come in all sizes and fonts, and can be mounted to walls, raceways or buildings with ease. Their bright display draws the eye of passersby passing by. Furthermore, their ease of maintenance makes them an excellent option for businesses hoping to make an impressionful first impression in their community.

Optics-based modules offer another solution by redirecting the native beam angle of an LED and redirecting it laterally, creating a more dramatic look and enabling larger letters. Plus, LEDs are much more energy-efficient than neon!

Halo-Lit

Halo-Lit LED channel letters are an innovative solution that offer contrast and visibility even in low light conditions, while also being energy efficient – they consume less power and emit far less heat than conventional lighting signs. Customizable to any business or brand name, Halo-Lit channel letters offer contrast and visibility at nighttime without taking up unnecessary space on signage displays.

When adding a halo-lit sign to your storefront, be sure it matches the font used in your branding. This will create a cohesive look and increase brand recognition. But be wary: too bright an illumination could overpower lettering while too dim an illumination might ruin it all together.

Custom-fabricated halo lit signs come in a range of high-grade stainless finishes and can be backlit using one of five LED colors. Each sign comes equipped with removable Lexan backs for servicing purposes, weep holes and 1.5″ standoff studs – but should not be mounted against mirror finish backgrounds as this will negate its halo lighting effect.

Fabricated

Channel letters are three-dimensional metal (or plastic) characters designed to increase visibility at night, commonly used for outdoor branding and to identify your business on streets or highways. Channel letters may also be used to highlight monument signs and walls.

These pieces typically consist of an aluminum back, aluminum sides or “returns”, and an acrylic face. They’re created by routing a flat sheet of aluminum and bending it to form letters or symbols; then, once formed, their returns are bent to provide depth to each letter or symbol.

LED strip lights and modules can be placed inside returns to illuminate letters. Depending on their size and depth, lighting can either be set perpendicular to faces or at an angle so as to produce a halo effect on them. Finally, trim cap borders may be added for an elegant finish.

Custom

Channel letter lights enhance light scattering performance for increased brightness while adding an eye-catching, trendy and attractive aesthetic to commercial, industrial and residential lighting systems. They are an increasingly popular choice among lighting professionals as well as homeowners seeking to optimize the effectiveness of their lighting system.

LED channel letter lights come in an assortment of fonts and colors to match your store’s brand identity and image, with different sizes to meet specific needs and can even be configured as face-lit or reverse halo-lit options for greater attention-getting effect.

These signs are ideal for restaurants and other businesses open after dark, such as pubs and grills. Their 3D signs are easy to read even in low light conditions and will draw attention from passing customers. Furthermore, these durable signs can withstand rain, snow and wind without damage; additionally they come equipped with color changing LED options and remote controls for added functionality.
