Channel letter signs attract attention day or night, offering your business the perfect way to promote itself. Available in multiple colors for easy installation, these signs bring an air of professionalism.

Channel letter signs feature translucent acrylic faces that can be lit using various methods of illumination, with LED lights being the most efficient source. Unfortunately, however, their heat production must also be dissipated efficiently to remain effective in terms of visibility and customer experience.

Internal Illumination

Channel letters draw customers’ attention day or night from afar and make it easy for passers-by to read your business name and logo easily. Working around the clock to promote your brand and drive customers into your door, they also save energy thanks to LED components which provide smart energy conservation solutions.

Channel letters are constructed from flat sheet metal – usually aluminum that won’t rust – that’s bent and shaped using computer-driven machinery to match their open face, leaving room for lighting components. Their back features returns called sides. These returns can then be bent back over for easy lighting component placement.

Reverse Lit Channel Letters, more commonly known as Halo Lits, feature no transparent front faces but illuminate from behind in order to create a wash effect behind them. You can control both color and intensity to best highlight your logo or branding message while adding beam-shaping diffusers or lenses that reduce glare, hot spots or shadow areas on signs with this internal lighting method.

External Illumination

Channel letters can be illuminated using LED lighting for cost savings compared to neon signs, and can even be Back Lit or Reverse Haloed to add depth at nighttime and highlight company names or logos.

These three-dimensional fabricated signs come in multiple sizes to meet any budget, but before planning their design and illumination it is essential that you are aware of all possible options and requirements for the sign you intend to install. Prioritise meeting with your zoning or commercial area manager as well as reviewing any lease agreements or building owner restrictions which might impact which sign you can install.

LED strip channels are typically constructed using aluminum backing with translucent acrylic faces that may be clear, opaque, or semi-opaque depending on their appearance and your design partner’s advice on which option would best meet the needs of your business.

Halo Illumination

Halo illuminated channel letters provide a dramatic and captivating effect that will draw in customers, perfect for creating high-end brand images or brightening up storefronts in any environment.

Front lit channel letters utilize LED lights to illuminate an acrylic face of the sign, creating an eye-catching and memorable visual appearance. Reverse lit channel letters feature metal faces with aluminum returns mounted away from walls – casting an illuminated halo around each individual character for an attractive backlight appearance.

An option that offers both front and rear illumination gives your signs an architectural or designed appearance. Channels attached to monument or cabinet signs enable us to conceal electrical supplies behind their appearance for an overall cleaner overall appearance.

Fabricated halo lit channels are often mounted to walls using standoffs for an elegant floating appearance and added contrast against brick facades. As an example, we designed and produced some LED channel letters for X Tech Bowling Supplies in Henrietta NY which stand off an inch off of their respective walls to achieve this incredible halo lighting effect.

When ordering halo-lit fabricated signs, choose lexan backs with light defusing white or clear finishes to achieve your desired halo effect. It is not advisable to mount them against mirror background finishes as their reflective surface could potentially undermine its effectiveness, showing all back surfaces of the sign such as screws, spacers and LED modules that make up its frame.
