LED lighting has heralded a new era for channel letter signs, offering greater effectiveness, easier maintenance and energy savings than neon.
Businesses looking to upgrade and increase the visibility of their signage should look into purchasing lighting accessories to make sure it works efficiently at all times. Lighting components will ensure that you make an impactful statement 24/7.
Aesthetics
Channel letter signs offer more dimension than flat cut or cast metal letters, making them an excellent choice for retail signage in busy strip malls or dimly lit suburban environments. They help customers quickly locate you!
Front-lit channel letters are illuminated with LED modules that shine through translucent acrylic faces, making them one of the most commonly seen signs. Not only can these be easily read from a distance but they can also add an elegant aesthetic to your branding strategy.
LED halo-illuminated letters differ from regular front-lit signs in that their letters are illuminated using hidden LED modules hidden behind each letter face, creating a stunning statement about your store that will stand out amongst competition.
Durability
Channel letter signs are known for being highly durable when illuminated, even under fire or other outdoor hazards. Crafted of aluminum construction, these business signage elements require no tubes that could break and therefore boast lower maintenance costs than neon signs.
LEDs boast a much longer lifespan than other lighting technologies, meaning your storefront sign can remain bright and welcoming without dimming down over time. This durability will attract new customers while keeping existing ones coming back for more!

Energy Efficiency
LEDs are the most energy-efficient solution to lighting up a sign. Their production of 100 lumens per wattage enables an even distribution of brightness across your sign, visible even at long distances.
LEDs can withstand bumping, rough handling and are far more resilient than their neon counterparts, helping you lower maintenance costs and avoid expensive repairs.
LEDs don’t suffer from the flickering and pulsing that often characterize traditional neon lighting, meaning your channel letter sign will look better while using less energy than ever before.
Longevity
LED channel letter signs can be found at nearly every restaurant, supermarket and coffee chain you have ever visited – they even show up in gas stations, convenience stores and other businesses open after dark!
LED lighting used inside these signs is known for its long life; typically lasting 50,000 hours – 17 times longer than an ordinary neon tube sign! Their durability and longevity means you no longer need to worry about damaged signs or costly maintenance services for them.
Channel letter signs offer numerous advantages over their neon counterparts. They’re more resistant to rough handling and road bumps that would damage traditional neon signage, plus more likely to capture passersby attention than a neon sign would. All these features make investing in channel letter signage worth both your time and money; not to mention they provide an eco-friendly option that makes an investment much more viable!
