LEDs offer precise, precise illumination that’s ideal for backlighting sign cabinets. Furthermore, their tough materials withstand rough handling and road bumps more readily than neon tubes that may shatter, creating the ideal solution to illuminate sign cabinets from within.
Signs that can be front/back lit, halo-illuminated or designed as logo formats make great storefront displays to advertise the name and logo of a business.
Customization
Led channel signs offer many customizing options, such as fonts, sizes, and illumination levels. Furthermore, these signs are extremely flexible – you can install them flush mounts or raceway mounts depending on their intended use.
Front lit channel letters feature translucent faces that can be illuminated using neon gas tubes or LED modules to provide easy readability from distance. They’re an excellent solution for businesses that wish to be easily seen from all directions.
Reverse channel letter signs feature clear acrylic backs and are halo illuminated for close up viewing, without deep returns like those found with face illuminated channel letters. Plus, reverse channel letter signs are energy efficient and cost less than other types of illuminated signage!
Flexibility
Channel letter signs can be customized to your specifications for various lighting options – front lighting, back lighting or reverse illumination are all viable choices for channel letter signs. They’re an effective way to showcase both your company name and logo.
LEDs boast longer lifespans and greater energy efficiencies compared to neon tubes, helping you save on maintenance and electricity bills.
Your sign can either be mounted flush (attached directly to the building facade) or on a raceway/wireway, the latter of which houses electrical components and supplies for power while being thinner in construction.
Reverse channel letters are similar to front lit channel letters; however, their face features translucent acrylic to allow light through and create an eye-catching halo effect around each letter. This type of sign can often be found at outdoor malls or public locations to draw attention and bring visibility.
Longevity
LEDs, unlike neon tubes which break and must be replaced frequently, are durable. Their robust nature translates to less money spent on service calls and sign maintenance appointments while giving you peace of mind that your investment will last long into the future.
LED Front Back Lit Channel Letters are an ideal choice for storefront signage. Offering visibility during the daytime hours as well as vibrant displays at nighttime, these signs provide energy efficiency with significant electricity bill savings.
An LED Electronic Message Center is similar to a channel letter, except it allows for more precise control over daytime brightness of signage. You can design it to twinkle for increased brand recognition.
Energy Efficiency
No matter which LED or neon sign you select for your storefront, energy efficiency must always be taken into consideration. Proper lighting selection can create a vibrant brand image while saving on electricity bills with long-life power supplies and lower consumption ratings.
Energy Standards for signage provide different compliance options depending on its type and location, such as watt per square foot compliance or alternate lighting source compliance methods.
Front lit channels are one of the most widely-used types of signs and utilize translucent acrylic letters to illuminate. Visible over long distances and drawing attention day or night, they can either be flush mounted or raceway mounted for optimal display.
Maintenance
Channel letter signs make an excellent choice for storefront signage as they offer a sleek and polished appearance while being durable with little maintenance required, unlike neon signs.
LED signs offer both safety and environmental friendliness with their eco-friendly use of LED lighting, yet must still comply with local ordinances for installation.
Channel letters are usually made out of metal or plastic and then painted to match a business’s brand colors or can even be etched with designs for depth and visual appeal. Lighting issues in channel letter signs often stem from poor wiring or burnt-out bulbs/tubes/LEDs – professional inspection can quickly identify these issues to pinpoint any potential safety or efficiency risks safely and quickly.
