LED illuminated channel letter signs attract passersby’s attention day and night, making them great options for restaurants as well as businesses open after dark such as bars, pubs and convenience stores.
No matter if it’s neon or LED signage for your business, certain aspects should be kept in mind before making your choice.
Versatility
Modern businesses need to stand out in a crowd and LED channel letter signage can help modern businesses do just that by being visible under various conditions – including dark ones! This makes LED channel letter signage ideal for restaurants, bars and other businesses open after dark.
Fabricated channel letters can be tailored to include various font styles and sizes, along with backlit or front lit options. Front-lit channel letters have translucent faces which can be illuminated using neon gas tubes or LED modules; additionally they may also be painted a custom hue that represents your business brand.
Reverse-lit channel letters feature metal faces with aluminum returns to create an “illuminated halo” around each character. These signs can be lit either with LED modules or neon, depending on business preferences and needs for energy efficiency, durability and brightness. Furthermore, reverse-lit letters can be customized with graphics or visual elements that add personality.
Durability
The longevity of illuminated channel letter signs depends on many variables, including their materials and placement as well as type of LED lighting used. Longevity can be extended through using high-quality materials with proper maintenance procedures in place; weather conditions also play a part when it comes to how long an illuminated sign will remain illuminated – for instance if located near an ocean, salt air can accelerate deterioration processes in materials quickly reducing their lifespan as well as potentially shortening lifespan of LED lights.
LED illuminated signs help businesses stand out at night and in low-visibility conditions, drawing more foot traffic and increasing sales. Their premium materials and long lifespan of the LED lights ensure that initial investments will pay off with increased visibility, sales, brand recognition and energy-saving rebates and incentives making these signs an excellent way to save on electricity costs while still drawing customers in.
Aesthetics
Modern LED signage comes in an assortment of colors and designs. Channel letters are an increasingly popular choice because of their sleek, sophisticated appearance; creating an impressionable first impression and increasing brand recognition among passersby.
Formed letters feature a plastic backer that snaps securely over each letter’s base, while its face is constructed from translucent, light-diffusing acrylic. Cut vinyl can also be applied directly onto each letter face for coloring effects or creating an optical halo effect.
Illuminated signs may be front-lit or back-lit. They’re commonly used for brand identity, directional signage and aesthetic applications that demand unique or classy aesthetics, as well as providing an inexpensive alternative to pylon or monument signs – providing businesses with an effective means of reaching audiences with minimal investment.
Lighting
Channel letters are illuminated with LED lights that can be individually controlled to produce various lighting effects and alter their hue for added customization. A popular lighting effect during the daytime is halo effect, while back lit effect provides more elegant illumination at nighttime.
Channel letters can be made of acrylic or metal and their faces can be left open or routed for an open or routed appearance, creating a custom sign with multiple fonts and shapes fabricated using various fonts and techniques; front lit, reverse lit or even both lighting methods may be utilized depending on its purpose; these signs can then be installed onto monuments or walls for easy viewing.
Channel letters are constructed of aluminum and can be painted using standard colors or customized with brand-specific hues or Pantone Matching System (PMS). If backlighting is desired, an electrical junction must be located behind or above it to power it.
