Formed LED channel letter signs are energy efficient and require little maintenance, making them an attractive addition to any business or home.
LED lighting stands out from its competition by being “binned,” or classified according to color, flux (brightness) and forward voltage. This approach provides significant advantages.
Channel letter signs offer more dimension than flat cut or cast metal letters and are commonly used as storefront signage. They typically come equipped with internal lighting.
1. Versatility
Channel letter signs are one of the most versatile signage options, offering businesses endless design possibilities to suit their business’s look and draw passersby in. Illuminated versions stand out, drawing passersby closer and generating additional business for your firm.
Instead of neon, which can easily corrode and requires constant maintenance, fabricated channel letters are constructed from robust materials that can withstand weather elements while using less energy resulting in lower power bills.
Front-Lit or Standard channel letters illuminate their vinyl faces with LED lights for optimal message visibility in both daylight and darkness. Reverse (Halo)-Lit or Back Lit channel letters have translucent faces which allow 85-95% of light through, creating an eye-catching halo effect behind each letter and drawing attention to your message.
2. Durability
Led channel signs offer many advantages over neon signs; they’re much tougher and require far less upkeep, energy efficient use less bulbs thus saving on electricity costs, plus they’re durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions. Plus they save money with reduced electricity bills!
Illuminated channel letters are an effective way for businesses to draw customers in and stand out from competition. Lightweight and easy to install, most manufacturers provide installation instructions or offer installation services.
There are three basic categories of illuminated channel signs: front-lit, reverse lit, and dual lit. Front-lit signs are most frequently employed and emit illumination only from the front face – typically made from translucent materials like acrylic. Reverse lit signs light up from behind creating a halo effect around them.
3. Brightness
No matter if your business is running a restaurant or law firm, standing out from competitors is key to its success. LED signage can help your business attract customers while emphasizing unique selling points that differentiate itself.
LED signs can be customized with images, videos and text depending on the type of signage chosen. You can even adjust its brightness to fit in seamlessly with your brand’s aesthetic – whether that means choosing between halo illumination or bold face illuminated signs – the possibilities are virtually limitless!
Utilize an LED display to draw customers in and highlight popular menu items at your restaurant or an increase in slip-and-fall cases at your law firm. Announce specials or discounts to increase customer engagement – it makes you look more appealing and trustworthy, leading customers back for more! This makes you appear more desirable and trustworthy, which keeps them coming back.
4. Energy Efficiency
LED lighting provides a safe and energy-efficient means of lighting a business sign. Requiring less space to operate than neon signs, LEDs do not produce heat – making them the safer option for both your sign and any nearby pedestrians.
LEDs make an excellent choice for back-lit channel letters. Their efficiency can save up to 80% off of electricity usage costs while offering green and eco-friendly signage solutions.
Front/Back Lit and Combination-Lit channels give businesses the option of customizing the colors for both sides of their signs, creating an eye-catching appearance at night. Furthermore, LED lighting makes lettering much easier to read on these signs – ideal for restaurants but also applicable to other businesses open after dark.
5. Customization
LED lighting has opened up an entirely new world for channel letter sign designs. They can be tailored specifically to any business and serve a multitude of functions.
These signs come in various designs and layouts – from front lit, back lit or halo style – and can be mounted on raceway or flush mounted. No matter their style and design, these business signage solutions provide effective and attractive business signs.
As well, these signs can be programmed to twinkle like electronic message centers’ lights – making them an excellent choice for outdoor locations such as plazas. Furthermore, LED signage tends to consume significantly less energy than its neon predecessor.
