Channel letter signs can be an effective branding tool to increase business exposure. They come in different sizes and fonts to suit the personality of each brand.
LEDs offer many advantages over neon for channel letters, including energy saving potential and lower consumption rates.
High Visibility
Front lit channel letters offer an eye-catching way to advertise your business, drawing potential customers in with their bright illumination and customizable design. Front lit channel letters stand out in low light conditions or at night when acting as beacons attracting new clients. Though more expensive upfront, their durability and improved visibility make front lit channel letters worthwhile investments for any brand looking to expand brand recognition.
These signs are routed into the shape of your letter, number or logo and then constructed using aluminum backs (called returns ) and acrylic fronts with custom painted returns for added color contrast and illumination by LED light sources (usually).
Fabricated aluminum channel letters equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting create an eye-catching halo effect around their transparent acrylic faces, which illuminates logos and faces allowing 85-95% of light transmission through them.
Durability
Channel letter signs are extremely durable signs, suitable for most environments and made of aluminum to prevent rust. Furthermore, they are UL listed to meet their stringent safety standards set forth by Underwriter Laboratory (UL).
Front lit channel letters feature translucent acrylic faces encased with aluminum sides and backs, which can be illuminated using neon gas tubes or LED modules for additional decoration. Digitally printed graphics may also be applied directly onto their faces for a more decorative finish.
Fabricated channel letters are an eye-catching way to draw the eye. They work especially well in low light or night environments and make an eye-catching statement, increasing visibility after dark. A luminous halo effect further adds appeal and makes these letters stand out among competing signage; SloanLED’s proprietary OptiLenz lens technology improves LED performance by focusing light onto their surfaces for enhanced illumination and clarity.
Easy to Install
Channel letter lighting can be one of the most versatile signage options for your business, offering endless customization possibilities in terms of shapes, sizes and fonts to create an eye-catching sign that stands out. Plus, adding LED illumination ensures greater visibility after dark or in low-light environments.
These energy efficient signs are easy to set up, using pre-mounted brackets for quick and simple setup. In addition, they’re more energy-efficient than traditional lighting options and use far less electricity overall.
Channel letter lighting systems are easy to operate and provide your business with an impressive return on investment. A 24V LED system offers bright, uniform illumination perfect for medium-size channel letters; its Tetra MAX technology extends stroke spacing so a five-inch depth capitol ‘T’ can be illuminated properly using only seven or eight modules.
Affordable
Channel letter signage offers an economical solution to promote your business 24 hours a day, all year-round. Consuming only a fraction of the power that neon signs do and being far easier and cheaper to repair and maintain over time, channel letter signs provide your company with 24/7 exposure for much less expense over time.
Fabricated halo-lit channel letters feature aluminum sides (called returns ) and translucent acrylic faces that produce a halo effect around their lighting elements, creating an eye-catching lighted sign both day and night.
Backlit channel letter signage features a clear lexan backing which diffuses light to prevent it from reflecting off mirror-finished backgrounds, providing more consistent illumination across all of the sign face with fewer LED modules.
