Led channel letters are three-dimensional metal signs illuminated with LED modules and used in numerous locations including storefronts, strip malls and offices. Furthermore, these signs make an excellent option for monument and pylon signs.
LED signs provide an eco-friendly alternative to neon signs which contain harmful substances, while still being reliable and long lasting.
Cost
Custom channel letter signs cost different amounts depending on factors like their size, color and LED illumination type; letters/characters included can also factor into this cost estimate. Channel letter signs are frequently seen outside after dark businesses such as restaurants and stores.
A lighted channel letter is a three-dimensional graphic sign element made out of aluminum or steel structures with translucent acrylic faces that are illuminated using LED modules, often found in storefronts, strip malls, commercial buildings and offices. They provide high visibility and brand recognition – perfect for storefronts visible from the street!
Letter cans, the aluminum bases of illuminated channel letters, can either be welded or bent before being fitted with lighting components. Finally, their sides are finished off by plastic or aluminum trim caps to protect their contents from moisture, dust and wildlife.
Versatility
LED channel letter strips provide a versatile lighting solution, whether that means lighting up your business name, accentuating architectural details or emphasizing certain areas. Not only are these LED strips more energy efficient than traditional lights but their eye-catching visual impact saves money on energy bills while still making an impressive visual statement. Various colors are available so they can be custom shaped into signs to enliven any space and draw customers in.
Channel letter signage comes in various forms, from front-lit and back-lit versions. Front-lit signs feature translucent faces which allow 85-95% of light through, while back-lit channels create an eye-catching halo effect when placed behind their fronts.
Both channels letters come in an assortment of fonts and styles to meet the branding requirements for your company. Easy to maintain and customize, they also feature various color options which attract passersby in daylight while standing out against darkness. Their removable acrylic faces make maintenance quick and allow quick changes in branding strategies.
Durability
Channel letter signage is durable and versatile, making it the ideal solution for businesses operating after dark. Utilizing LED lighting provides long-term visibility even during poor weather conditions; more modern channels also use aluminum, which is better for the environment than old neon tubing since it does not contain mercury.
Channel letters are made by cutting an aluminum sheet using a router and joining two bent metal returns welded together into what’s known as “cans.” Each character’s faces are constructed from transparent acrylic or polycarbonate material while any color elements of your logo can be accomplished through cut-out translucent vinyl.
Back-lit channel letters offer another solution for businesses that operate after dark. Commonly referred to as reverse-lit or halo-lit letters, they feature aluminum faces with returns forming each letter’s shape and LEDs installed within each can; their light shines out across their faces creating a halo effect.
Customization
Channel letters are internally illuminated three-dimensional signs designed to grab passerby attention and promote your business or brand. Available in many sizes and customizable to your specifications, channel letters are an ideal way to adorn storefront signage with lasting visual impact.
There are various channel letter sign options, including face, returns and trim. The face is usually constructed from aluminum and routed into shape to resemble letters or logos; returns attach directly to the sign face while trim caps secure them together.
Front-lit channel letters are the most prevalent type of channel letter signs, and come in different colors to complement any branding needs. From bright and dramatic displays that draw customers in to more cost-effective versions like traditional neon signs – to back-lit channel letters which add elegance and soften your storefront look – front-lit letters can help create brand recognition that can only come from well-branded signage.
