Channel letter signage offers an elegant appearance to help set your business apart, custom-fabricated to meet all of its branding and logo requirements.
Front Lit or Standard Channel Letters feature aluminum sides and back (known as returns) with acrylic faces that are illuminated from the front using LED modules to produce a “halo” effect.
Size
Channel letter signage can help your business stand out in a crowd. These illuminated signs can feature either logos or standard font, in various sizes; face illumination is an option as well.
Backs of these signs are usually made of aluminum, with plastic molded covers often made of plastic molded. Each translucent color cover snaps over it securely for added style or can be combined with LEDs to produce vibrant glow or back-lit halo effects.
LED modules offer many advantages when it comes to installation and maintenance. Their long lifespan, weather resistance, minimal heat output and 75% less power usage make them the perfect solution.
Shape
Channel letters are three-dimensional structures made from metal (typically aluminum) and plastic, featuring an open letter can with acrylic faces or LED modules, completed by an outer trim cap border that finishes its edges.
Front lit channel letters feature translucent faces illuminated by neon gas tubes or, increasingly, LED modules to attract passersby after dark. This form of signage has proven particularly successful at drawing attention.
Back-lit or halo-illuminated channel letter signage is highly effective under both daytime and night lighting conditions, making them suitable for restaurants, pubs, bars and convenience stores that remain open until nightfall. Unlike traditional neon signs that use inefficient neon lighting for energy savings, backlit/halo illuminated signs use efficient LED illumination that saves energy instead. Furthermore, Sign Wizard, Neon Wizard and LED Wizard now come equipped with the new Channel Letter Return Plots module which automates this tedious manual task of manually measuring/plotting returns manually over time – saving them both time and human effort – saving them considerable effort as well as saving energy at the same time.
Color
Front lit channel letters are one of the most versatile forms of business signage, offering flexibility while remaining cost effective. This style features aluminum backs and sides (called returns ) cut into individual letters or numbers to form their shape with an acrylic face to illuminate your message.
LED “string” modules are discreetly concealed within each letter to provide bright illumination that’s more energy-efficient and brighter than neon. Available in an assortment of colors and styles to catch customers’ eyes, this form of signage will sure to catch the public’s attention. We have solutions tailored specifically to your business that illuminate either face-illumination or halo illumination needs.
Material
LED Block is an acrylic material which transmits 85-95% of light through, thus eliminating hot spots and improving illumination. This makes it perfect for use in Channel Letters.
Channel letters feature aluminum faces and returns that act to hold their signs together, known as the front and sides, respectively. Channel letter returns can either be manufactured using standard colors or painted to complement the face of the sign.
Illuminated channel letters can draw customers in through your storefront door. They’re ideal for businesses that remain open after dark, like restaurants and convenience stores; their illumination provides easy readability in low light situations while providing great visibility at night. Not to mention durability against weather-related wear-and-tear.
Installation
LED channel letters can often be found in storefronts, strip malls, offices, and commercial buildings. They can either be illuminated or non-illuminated depending on your business needs, making them an effective way of drawing traffic in. LED channel letters also make an impressionful statement when used at nighttime to draw more attention to itself or draw the eye away from other businesses in your industry.
Aluminum signs with LED modules embedded within are ideal for businesses open late at night such as restaurants, bars and convenience stores.
Backing the sign with translucent Lexan protects LEDs. LEDs may be placed perpendicularly to each letterface for an illuminating “halo” effect around each character; or placed behind its face to illuminate an entire panel or custom back.
