Illuminated channel letter signs are an effective way to increase business’ visibility and brand recognition. Available styles include back-lit, front lit, both front and back lit or even halo illuminated signs.

LED lighting has marked a new era in signage technology. There are a few key points to keep in mind before investing in this form of signage.

Customization

LED channel letter lighting offers endless options. They come in various shapes and sizes to meet any logo or letter design you need for maximum impact after darkness falls. This makes led channel letter lighting an effective way of drawing customers in.

Back-lit or halo lit lettering provides an interesting look. Back-lit lighting involves fitting letters with LED strips in the back that won’t be visible from the front but illuminate your lettering at night or when set to light up, while halo lighting casts a subtle shadow behind them for a unique appearance.

Sign faces can be clear or matte to promote optimal visible light transmission (VLT). Trim cap borders help secure acrylic faces against wind vibration and breakage by keeping them securely attached.

High Visibility

Front-lit channel letters offer an eye-catching visual appearance that attracts the eye and increases brand recognition. Their readability both at night and from a distance makes them an excellent way for businesses to stand out in the crowd.

LEDs produce high current to achieve desired intensity, producing a lot of heat that must be dissipated to extend their lifespan and prevent overheating. Therefore, utilizing an effective cooling system is key to keeping signs from overheating and shortening its lifespan.

Piranha LED strips use aluminum bases to help dissipate heat generated by their lights, while protecting covers can withstand UV radiation and other environmental factors, creating an extremely durable sign with lasting visibility over time.

Energy Efficiency

LED technology enables businesses to utilize energy-saving channel letters. This makes LED a fantastic solution for businesses that wish to increase visibility without incurring higher power bills, plus enjoy unlimited color choices available from LED.

GE’s Tetra MAX LED system outshines previous generations by being 43 percent brighter while lighting a 43 percent larger surface area, making it the ideal solution for medium-size channel letter signs. Furthermore, their new white color provides brilliant illumination at reduced power consumption and power supply loads compared to competing LED solutions.

SloanLED LEDBlade’s industry-leading symmetrical optic maximizes LED performance for better sign ROI and lower utility bill costs than other LED options.

Durability

Channel letter lighting provides businesses with an eye-catching signage option for brand promotion. Crafted from high-grade materials resistant to weathering and corrosion, channel letter lighting makes a suitable outdoor solution.

Signs made of front lit channel letter signs are made using sheets of metal cut into letter shapes and connected together by returns, which are then bent and shaped using computer-driven machines for maximum effect. This technique creates the distinctive appearance known as front lit channel letter signs.

LED bulbs used in signs typically last 10 years of use, however it is essential to take into account the environment and temperature where it will operate; exposure to extreme temperatures could shorten this timeline significantly.

Low Maintenance

Channel letters are three-dimensional illuminated signs that form letters or characters to enhance business visibility and brand recognition, while being more energy efficient than neon or fluorescent lighting sources. Channel letters can often be seen at tradeshows to increase visibility for businesses as well as to boost brand recognition among potential clients. They’re eco-friendly too, using less energy than fluorescent or neon lighting systems.

Fabricated aluminum halo lit letters come with various stainless finish options and are illuminated using energy-efficient LED’s for an impressive visual effect. Their translucent backs allow 85-95% of light through for optimal illumination and an impressive glow.

LED floodlights are perfect for restaurants and other businesses that operate after dark, such as grocery stores and gas stations. Their versatile mounting options allow for mounting on monument signs, walls or fabricated bases; plus their lightweight construction makes for easy maintenance and cleaning; not to mention low voltage usage that minimizes electrical shock risk and allows safe use in various weather conditions.
