Channel letter signs offer retailers an effective branding opportunity that stands out from the crowd in any retail setting. Their depth, size, and illumination creates an instantly recognizable image that passersby will recognize from afar.
With both front-lit and backlit illumination available, you have the flexibility of customizing your sign by adding neon or LED lighting effects.
Day and Night Visibility
Illuminated channel letter signs are among the most noticeable forms of business signage, visible from all directions both day and night. Businesses of all sizes can benefit from using illuminated channel letter signs as they attract customers while adding a professional, authoritative look to any building facade.
Front-lit channel letter signs are the most widely used illuminated channel letter signs, allowing light to shine directly through an acrylic face and illuminate your lettering. A back-lit sign uses transparent panels to illuminate your letters and shapes – sometimes known as “halo signs”, due to how their lighting creates an eye-catching circle around each letter.
Consider installing reveal channel letters for an eye-catching appearance. These signs feature black faces during the day and illuminate at night for dramatic effect, offering your brand and business the opportunity to stand out.
Durability
Illuminated channel letter signs offer a sleek, professional aesthetic that draws customers in while simultaneously offering excellent branding opportunities due to their versatility. Ideal for restaurants, malls and businesses seeking to attract more customers after dark.
Selecting durable materials will enable you to maximize the lifespan of your illuminated sign. Be mindful of factors like location, weather conditions and temperature variations which could exacerbate material deterioration; for instance signs located near an ocean may experience greater salt air damage which needs to be considered when making this choice.
Maintenance is key when it comes to the longevity of a sign, so regularly cleaning away dirt, pests and damage as well as inspecting for wire damage can extend its life span. If you can’t afford professional inspection, simply using a basic checklist will suffice; so that you can enjoy your LED sign for many years to come!
Customization
Channel letter signs are highly customizable, making it simple to design signage that complements your business aesthetic. Available in various fonts, sizes and colors with additional lighting effects like flashing or fading capabilities to draw extra attention to your sign, channel letter signs can create signage that stands out among its competition.
LED channel letters are an increasingly popular choice for restaurant signage, but can also be applied to bars, nightclubs, gas stations and convenience stores that operate after dark.
1 Stop Signs offers an assortment of front-lit and back-lit channel letters that illuminate from either face, while back-lit options create a “halo” effect when lit from behind. We offer flush mounting as well as raceway mounting; both options offer different installation methods – be sure to consult a sign consultant when making this important decision!
Energy Efficiency
Channel letters are energy efficient and consume significantly less power than neon-lit signs, while their smaller transformers make them cheaper to operate and maintain. You will notice savings on your utility bill as your LED sign attracts customers during the day just as effectively as traditional neon signage would.
Front-lit channels illuminate each acrylic letter to draw attention both day and night, making logos or text easily viewed from afar and creating an architecturally appealing appearance.
Reverse-lit channels, often known as halo signs, appear to float off of walls with spacers to produce an attractive halo effect and are perfect for businesses that remain open after dark such as bars and restaurants.
Combination channels combine lit faces and backlighting for an eye-catching architectural effect, making them the ideal solution in locations where lease agreements and local regulations permit illuminated signage. Furthermore, their reduced use of noncorrosive fasteners means less damage to your building.
