Illuminated channel letter signage ensures passersby see your brand name and logo day or night, and are more durable and less costly to maintain than neon signs.
Channel letters are internally illuminated signs that use LED modules to light the translucent face material of their signs. Their faces are typically constructed out of aluminum, and may be coated with polycarbonate or acrylic for additional light diffusion.
LED Lights
LED lights are an innovative technology that emit less heat and consume less energy than their incandescent counterparts. Furthermore, their use of directional optics allows them to concentrate light onto specific areas rather than lighting up everything nearby – contributing significantly to energy savings which will show up on your utility bill.
Front lit channel letters feature aluminum backs, aluminum sides (known as returns) and custom painted acrylic faces to achieve visibility after dark. Businesses who value visibility often opt for this form of signage.

Durability
Channel letters are an ideal choice for businesses that want to stand out in a crowd, as they can be illuminated to draw customers’ attention and create a more dramatic look. Plus, channel letters require less maintenance than neon signage!
Illuminated channel letters come in all sorts of materials, with aluminum featuring translucent acrylic facing being most popular. Front or back lighting options make these channel letters suitable for spelling out words or creating logos.
Channel letters may last 10 years with proper maintenance, particularly if they’re protected from direct sunlight and salt air exposure. Furthermore, replacement LED lights can easily be added if any burn out. Ultimately however, their lifespan depends on several factors including its location, type of lighting used and humidity or extreme temperatures conditions in its environment – these may all contribute to its demise faster.
Longevity
Illuminated channel letter signs typically last 10-20 years or longer depending on their materials and location, though signs located near salt air may experience more degradation over time. LED lights also have limited lifespans that can be reduced through extreme temperatures or prolonged sunlight exposure.
Trimless face channel letters are an innovative solution, with their sleek and professional appearance made possible by LED illumination which can be tuned to display any hue of light. Furthermore, their lack of frames makes them more appealing to passersby than traditional signs.
Back-Lit Channel Letters, more commonly known as halo-lit letters, are an increasingly popular choice among businesses that wish to highlight their brand name at night. Made of translucent material with LED illumination that forms a lighting wash behind each letter when illuminated, Back-Lit and Reverse-Lit Letters create an impressive nighttime lighting wash when illuminated. Front-Lit and Reverse-Lit Letters combine both elegance with the dramatic effects of back-lit halo lighting for businesses seeking something a bit different!
Visibility
Channel letter signs are highly noticeable both day and night, creating an eye-catching presence on building walls. They’re an ideal way for businesses to draw the public’s eye while outstripping competition.
Front lit channel letters use LED illumination to illuminate each character face, making them one of the most widely seen types of channel letter signage. You’ll likely come across it on storefronts, mall walls and office walls alike.
Signage with shallow to deep can depths or routed acrylic channel letters can make an immediate statement about their business day or night, providing maximum exposure both day and night. LED illuminated channel letters offer another form of lighting for businesses that want a specific hue such as blue.
Front back lit channels are highly adaptable and available in an assortment of fonts, colors and sizes to meet the needs of any business. Plus, these signs use energy efficient LED lighting components – making them highly reliable!
