Channel letters are eye-catching signs designed to draw passersby towards your business, yet are durable, economical, and meet local zoning and building code compliance.

These fixtures feature a router-cut aluminum can with translucent acrylic faces and backs, trim cap borders and lighting modules inside that can be front lit, halo lit or back lit as needed.

Face Lit

Face lit channel letters are commonly used for business signage and have an acrylic face, stainless steel return and LED module inside them. We can custom the colors, fonts and dimensions of face lit channel letters to meet any logo requirements.

These signs feature an opal acrylic face that allows the inner LED illumination to illuminate through. This lighting highlights letters for maximum visibility across long distances both day and night.

Fabricated aluminum halo lit channel letters are one of the most widely-used types of illuminated channel letters. Crafted from router-cut aluminum sheeting, these signs come in numerous sizes, colors and font options with either brushed or reflective finishes to increase visibility at prominent locations such as shopping malls or outdoor plazas. Fabricated aluminum halo lit channel letters offer great durability – ideal for shopping malls looking to increase their presence with illuminated signage that stands out.

Halo Lit

Halo lit channels can add depth and dimension to a brand or business name, especially at night when there is plenty of foot traffic and attention. They use LED lights behind the sign to illuminate its backside and create a halo effect around each letter of their sign, giving a “POP!” effect for increased viewership and engagement.

These signs typically require mounting with a 1.5″ wall standoff to create the ideal distance to create the halo effect. Standard options come equipped with cool white LED lights; additional red, blue or green options may also be ordered as necessary.

These letters are typically made of aluminum with translucent acrylic faces and clear acrylic backs for the halo effect, along with aluminum returns and can be routed to accommodate one or multiple characters. Furthermore, these signs come pre-wired with low voltage wire that connects directly to an LED module installed into your mounting pan – making installation simple with just one stud required per sign.

Back Lit

Channel letters lit with LED lighting offer significant energy cost savings over their neon counterparts, enabling thinner aluminum returns and faces than are achievable using neon tubes, as well as more options for customization of lighting effects based on desired effects such as translucent acrylic covering or leaving it open depending on desired effects.

Acrylic signs can be customized with standard or custom paint colors for branding or aesthetic purposes, then attached securely with trim cap to form a sturdy sign that can withstand weather elements.

Front and back lit channels can make an elegant statement about your logo from both angles, providing maximum exposure at night from 100-12 times its height in letters. However, this style of illumination requires having power supply installed behind walls or ceilings above as well as electrical junctions for each sign to work effectively.

Directional

LED-illuminated signs create an eye-catching display from both angles. Ideal for creating an architectural feel and drawing attention 24/7.

They make an excellent addition to restaurants, convenience stores and other businesses that remain open after dark, as well as those looking to draw attention to their brand with unique, eye-catching designs.

Channel letters are made from aluminum and can be routed into any letter, number or logo shape desired. Depending on its style of channel lettering, it can either be internally illuminated or non-illuminated – depending on the design style chosen, channel letters may either use LED lighting for more energy-efficiency and savings in the long run or provide a consistent glow that customers find more appealing; moreover they require minimal maintenance costs to remain operational over time.
