Channel letter signs provide businesses and stores with an ideal signage solution, as they are highly visible, customizable, energy-efficient, durable, and offer an outstanding return on investment (ROI).

Bright, even lighting is critical for creating signs that draw customers in and have impactful messages for visitors. GE LED modules offer value, performance, and versatility that business owners require in their signage solutions.

Brightness

An effective sign should communicate its message effectively and draw passersby’s attention, but too bright LED lights can detract from this effect, possibly even leading to eye damage for nearby passersby. By selecting an appropriate installation channel for LED strip lighting strips, you can strike an optimal balance between brightness and visibility.

Coatings play an integral part in determining the brightness of LED strips. Their material may be clear, opaque or semi-opaque and determines how much light can pass through; opaque coatings block out much of the visible spectrum while transparent ones let up to 85-95 percent pass through.

The highest-performing LED modules boast matte coatings to achieve optimal balance between light transmission and diffusion, making them suitable for backlighting channels, light boxes and cove lighting applications. Cuttable versions allow these modules to adapt easily to meet the specific requirements of any installation while DC12V or 24V models make them versatile fixtures perfect for multiple installations.

Energy Efficiency

LEDs use significantly less electricity than traditional bulbs, leading to reduced electricity bills and lasting two to four times longer than fluorescents – an incredible savings over the life of your sign!

LEDs also possess the unique capability of accurately reflecting objects’ true colors compared to traditional light sources, providing signage the opportunity to shine brightly and catch attention even during low light levels. Their high color rendering index (CRI) makes this possible.

LED modules offer an economical solution for face and halo lit channel letters, open faced signage, curved layouts and other custom projects. Requiring only 12VDC power, these modules come equipped with three high-bright SMD LEDs on the surface with striped PMMA lenses providing greater lighting transmittance and wider illumination area. All sealed in an ABS shell to meet IP67 waterproof levels to be used both indoors and outdoors allowing multiple uses simultaneously.

Durability

Channel letter signs offer an inimitable depth and visual texture that flat signs can’t match, creating a powerful way to draw people’s attention while passing by.

Front-lit channel letters offer high visibility from long distances. Their acrylic faces can be customized in many colors to produce an eye-catching front illumination using LEDs for vibrant illumination.

Back-lit channel letters are characters illuminated from behind with LED light sources and can create an illuminating halo effect, usually made out of aluminum faces and returns or polycarbonate for extra weatherproofing. Backlit channel letters are ideal for businesses seeking an upscale brand image while light pollution concerns are an issue; backlight channel letters also make an effective alternative to neon signs with their aluminum durability that won’t rust and polycarbonate protection against cracking or yellowing, offering great lighting solutions!

Style

Channel letter signage offers businesses an effective and eye-catching solution for highlighting their brand name, slogan or logo. They come in an assortment of shapes, sizes, fonts, colors and lighting options to fit into any business aesthetic.

Front-lit channel letters feature translucent faces with glowing translucent hues to attract passersby’s eyes, while back-lit channel letters use LED lights to form a halo effect around their signs for increased night visibility. Finally, combination-lit channel letters create an eye-catching and distinctive appearance sure to stand out amongst competitors.

Channel letter signs may be installed using either a raceway or wireway as mounting structures, with raceways acting both as mounting structures and housing electrical components of a sign’s electrical components. A wireway differs by being thinner and wider; typically only housing wiring, though sometimes used to backer panels for face-lit channel letter sets.
