Channel letter led lights are an engaging and cost-efficient way to promote your business, offering high ROI and lower maintenance requirements than other signages.

Front-lit channel letters feature illuminated translucent acrylic faces to draw the most attention day and night. This type of commercial channel letter stands out as being more prevalent.

Back of the Letter

Channel letters are made from flat sheets of aluminum in various thicknesses that have been folded to form letters and bent into their final forms, before being attached with welds or rivets to an aluminum can which houses LED, fluorescent, or neon lighting sources that illuminate their faceplates. Channel letter signs are among the most popular options available and offer endless customization opportunities.

This option is great for businesses that desire an innovative, clean, and architectural aesthetic. Each character’s face remains open; to further customize its appearance you may add color or add a halo effect with colored backs to form a halo effect.

Opting for exposed or reverse lit letters gives your business a distinct and striking presence, day and night. LED lighted signs typically use standard white LEDs; however, for an unforgettable look you could add custom colored LEDs like warm white, red, green, or blue LEDs for an eye-catching sign that shines just how you need it to!

Face of the Letter

Front-lit channel letters remain one of the most popular choices among illuminated signs, offering businesses maximum visibility day or night. LED lighting is concealed behind translucent acrylic faces within each letter to create a smooth look that’s easy to read from far distances.

Backlighting your letter creates a “halo” effect around its surface, making it suitable for special shapes or letters that don’t easily illuminate under front lighting alone. It may also help distinguish more detailed signs.

To create an even more dramatic appearance, you can opt for exposed letters – more economical and sure to stand out on any storefront. They can also be enhanced with neon or LED neon flex rope for an elegant glow that enhances your brand and can even be serviced easily through removable backs and weep holes.

Halo

Halo illuminated channel letters can elevate ordinary business signage into luxurious and successful-looking signage that speaks volumes about your success and luxury. They can be lit either from the front for maximum impact, or illuminated from behind for an eye-catching “halo” effect.

Back-lit illumination (also referred to as reverse channel letter illumination) creates the effect of floating letters that attracts attention day or night. It is the most prevalent form of illuminated channel letter and provides excellent visibility from far distances while offering easy-to-read characters.

Front/Back Lit channel letter designs combine both halo and face illuminations into one sign design, giving you the flexibility of using different colors on either face or back for contrast. However, mirror backgrounds should be avoided since LED modules will show through and result in no halo effect.
