Lighting can make a business stand out and attract customers, but care must be taken in its selection – trends come and go while your signs should last a long time.
One way of accomplishing this goal is through LED channel letter lighting, which offers bright, durable, and energy-saving illumination.
Costs associated with LED channel letter lighting depend upon design and installation factors such as material, size and illumination of signs. A raceway mount can increase installation costs.
These signs can be an excellent way to draw customers in and increase visibility, drawing customers in while being eco-friendly by using less energy than other lighting options. With proper maintenance they may last as long as 10 years without replacement costs being an issue.
LED strip lights are designed to provide maximum brightness and clarity from signage displays. Available in various sizes and finishes, these products can be used with various face materials including acrylic. Furthermore, an LED channel may be covered in a diffuser which helps diffuse light more evenly across its length. Plus, there’s always the convenience of purchasing online or at local hardware stores!
Lighting trends come and go, but illuminated channel letter signage’s durability should not be neglected. This is particularly important if it’s located by waterways where salt air accelerates deterioration; additionally it could be subject to extreme temperatures which cause it to crack or change its appearance over time.
GE’s Tetra LED modules are engineered for durability and easy installation, giving businesses the reliability they require. Their bright illumination maintains impressive brightness over longer periods reducing maintenance costs and downtime; also making these LEDs more resistant than neon tubes which may become damaged from sudden impacts or wind storms.
Illuminated channel letters come in a range of sizes, colors and backs. Letter backs typically consist of aluminum that has either face or halo lighting that can be customized to the shape and design of any sign; side returns can also be customized using computerized bending/shaping equipment to complete their look.
Channel letters use LED illumination which is more energy efficient and requires less maintenance than neon signs, producing little heat while making customers safer nearby. Due to its numerous advantages, channel letters are becoming an increasingly popular choice for businesses.
Illuminated channel letter signs can help your business increase visibility. However, it’s essential that you carefully consider their placement; signs near water may become damaged from salt air exposure and fade over time due to sun damage.
Illuminated signage often requires a large bundle of low voltage wire for proper functioning. This can become costly if your sign is located far from its power source. GE’s Tetra modules offer a solution by decreasing the number of strings necessary to illuminate your sign; their miniMAX and PowerMAX LED modules offer spoke spacing up to 11 inches within five-inch depth capital ‘T’ depth modules, enabling nine-8 LEDs into that same space where two strings were previously needed.
Channel letter lighting is an ideal choice for businesses seeking to increase visibility after dark. Easy and energy efficient installations make channel letter lights cost-effective solutions for restaurants, bars or any business that provides nighttime service or sales. Their elegant appearance also attracts passersby.
Front lit channel letters feature translucent faces illuminated using neon gas tubes or LED modules, boast an aluminum back, self-contained design and feature acrylic faces with trim cap borders to give them a luxurious appearance – popular choices among restaurants, bars and convenience stores alike.
These lights feature aluminum backs, aluminum sides (known as returns) and acrylic faces that have been custom painted to match their letter or number color. Once attached to their return with noncorrosive studs, they can then be powered either through plugging into an amplifier transformer or LED modules and whip wires.
