Channel letter lighting will make your business shine at night. This type of signage consists of a flat panel cut by a router, while its returns (sides bent back into shape with computer-driven bending machines).
These signs are typically halo lit to create an eye-catching “neon” effect and may be mounted to either flush mount to a building or direct mounted using spacers.
Dimmable LED Modules
LED modules offer an appealing alternative to traditional light bulbs. Instead of using electricity to heat a filament, these modules use multiple light-emitting diodes on a board, with various sizes and shapes of diodes available – circular, rectangular, linear and star shaped options among many more – creating a distinct glow when illuminated. Common applications for LED modules include light boxes, sign cabinets/boxes as well as other backlighting projects – connected via flexible wires which can be easily cut to meet project specific needs.
Dimmable LED Modules from our selection feature Epistar 2W SMD 3030 LEDs for optimal heat dissipation for long-lasting and reliable performance. When used with our 0-10V dimming driver, these dimmable modules allow you to control brightness levels on signs easily – plus they’re IP65 certified so they’re suitable for indoor/outdoor use!
S Shape LED Strips
These strip LEDs differ from LED flex strips and rope lights in that they feature mid to high power surface mount LEDs on a more rigid strip, producing much brighter illumination than their flexible counterparts. Their brightness is usually measured in lumens per meter, as well as color temperature considerations – lower temperatures produce warmer hues while higher ones create an icy tone.
Lenses play an integral part in diffused strip brightness. They may be clear, opaque, or semi-opaque in structure and should allow at least 85-95% of light through.
When purchasing LED strip lighting, it is crucial that you understand its inner workings and your desired signage type. Channel Letters are one of the most visible types of signage and can attract customers driving by or walking past. LED strip lighting offers another great alternative when creating signs visible both inside and outside your storefront.
Waterproof LED Strips
If you intend on installing strip lights outdoors or near a pool area, waterproof LED strips may be more appropriate than normal. Look for ones with an IP68 rating so they can withstand long submersion without damage from being submerged into water; for indoor use but to reduce risks when they might get wetter you could purchase lower protection levels instead.
Make sure to consider how you plan to use your strip lights before purchasing. For entertainment purposes, they might require LEDs with multiple segment colors that sync up with music; on the other hand, if just used for ambience purposes they might do just as well with static hues showing at one time.
Light diffusers play an essential role in determining the brightness of an LED strip channel, from clear, opaque or semi-opaque versions available. When choosing one that meets your requirements it’s essential that it be an ideal match.
Flexible LED Strips
Many are familiar with LED strip lights (also referred to as tape lights), as lighting professionals commonly employ them in signs and lightboxes to add visual interest. With various colors, brightness options and control features at their disposal – not forgetting their substrate support structure which must also play its part!
An LED strip’s substrate serves two roles – physical structure and electricity supply via its circuitry – as well as heat dissipation. Thicker copper ensures better electrical conductivity, thus minimizing resistance build-up which could otherwise cause voltage drop or premature LED failure.
Flexible LED strips come in an assortment of voltages to meet the demands of any project, as well as non-addressable single color or addressable digital RGB strips for use. Addressable digital strips contain groups of red, blue and green LEDs which combine at varying brightness intensities to produce any hue in the rainbow – these require four wires (3 for each color plus one power/ground connection to an LED controller.
