Channel letter signs are three-dimensional graphic sign elements with internal lighting that are internally illuminated. Commonly constructed out of aluminum, channel letter signs feature an aluminum back, aluminum sides (called returns ) and an acrylic face for easy viewing.

LED strip channels have quickly become the go-to solution for pool rooms, bars and arcades in recent years due to their energy efficient features and lower long-term costs. Customers also love this modern aesthetic!

LED Lights

LED lights offer multiple benefits, one being their customizable tone setting. The hue can change the overall appearance and feel of your sign; for instance, warmer tones have more of an amber quality while cooler hues tend towards being bluer in hue.

Backlit channel letters use LED lighting to illuminate an acrylic face and produce an eye-catching halo effect that stands out from a building. This style can often be found on storefronts and other high visibility locations.

Face lit channel letters feature translucent faces which glow from within their letter cans, creating various lighting effects depending on their design. Their face may be open or closed depending on your requirements for greater versatility of lighting effects.

LED Modules

LED modules are low profile and easily concealed while still producing striking lighting effects for exterior and interior applications. Ideal as accent lights, or to illuminate darkened areas beneath dashboards or engine bays of vehicles.

LED modules come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors – often for use in signage and channel letter displays – although other indoor/outdoor lighting applications can benefit from using them too. Fulham VividHorse CCT Selectable modules feature an innovative IC-based design which allows multiple connections simultaneously while still being end-to-end compatible so voltage drop does not reduce lumen output from module string connections.

LED Drivers

LED drivers are electrical power supplies that serve to power LED modules/arrays like fluorescent tube ballasts or transformers do for halogen lamps, except that LED drivers include programmable features for more effective operation.

Programmable features to look out for when purchasing an LED driver include timer dimming and CLO (constant lumen output) functionality. CLO compensates for the gradual degradation of LED diodes over time by maintaining maximum brightness for their entire lifespan.

Another key feature to keep an eye out for when purchasing an LED driver is the power factor rating. A higher power factor rating tends to be more efficient and produce less heat, than lower ratings.

LED Light Diffusers

LED light diffusers are acrylic plastic covers designed to soften the glow from LED strips while hiding bulbs directly from view and thus eliminating hot spots.

These lights are commonly found in retail and other commercial settings to illuminate signage or architectural features, and diffusers can improve lighting distribution and reduce shadowing, while providing greater design freedom through color control and increased design freedom.

LED strip diffusers typically feature a frosted or opal surface finish to maximize light transmission while keeping LEDs visible. Some models also come equipped with clear molded lens profiles for more precise lighting angles; making these diffusers perfect for wall washing and accentuating architectural features.

LED End Caps

Weather and temperatures surrounding your channel letter sign can have an enormous effect on its lifespan. For instance, an outdoor sign near the beach might experience salt air that accelerates material degradation, while lower temperatures could reduce its useful life significantly.

These LED end caps can help reseal cut LED strip lights. Available both as solid end cap (no-hole) and feed cap with hole, these end caps come in packs of 5. Use these with silicone sealant to form an effective watertight seal when installing LED track.

Aluminum Channels

Aluminum channels are among the most sought-after LED strip light accessories, serving to dissipate heat, increase light distribution and create a solid base for mounting LED strip lights.

Channel letters come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses to meet a range of design requirements. They’re created using manufacturing processes such as extrusion, roll forming, press braking and CNC machining – among others.

Illuminated channel letters are one of the best ways to bring attention to your business. These signs are routed in the shape of letters, numbers, or logos before being lit by LED modules – perfect for mounting on walls or in indoor plazas and malls.
