LED channel letter lighting can help attract customers and increase store visibility while being energy efficient and long lasting.
Environment and conditions play an essential part in determining the lifespan of illuminated signage, with exposure to salt air hastening its degeneration of various materials while extreme cold sapping their illumination.
LED Lights
With 20-inch maximum letter height and various colors to choose from, our fabricated aluminum LED illuminated channel letters can be tailored to meet the branding of any business requiring illumination at night – restaurants, bars, gas stations or any other business that operates after dark! These signs make a perfect solution.
LEDs differ from incandescent bulbs in that they do not experience instantaneous failure; rather, their lumin depreciation occurs over time as brightness gradually fades over time. Depending on where and how often an LED sign is being used, its lifespan could be drastically decreased.
LED strip channels typically utilize light diffusers, end caps and mounting brackets crafted from anodized aluminum or PC/PMMA for their light diffusers, end caps and mounting brackets. LEDs may also come equipped with lenses such as clear, opaque or semi-opaque ones to control visible light transmission and improve uniformity; for greater brightness GE offers its unique OptiLens technology that optimizes LED performance to increase lumen output while simultaneously decreasing power consumption and prolonging product lifespan.
Customization
Channel letters can be illuminated using neon or LED backlighting, while front lit letters have aluminum back, sides (known as returns), acrylic face that can be colored or clear and trimcap affixed to their acrylic back which can also be customized in many colors.
Illuminated channel letter signs are an eye-catching way to draw customers into your storefront, and can be customized in many shapes and sizes with either backlighting or halo lighting for an inviting atmosphere.
Illuminated channel letters make a striking addition to any business, helping your logo stand out both day and night. GE’s Tetra LED products provide uniform illumination across multiple letter faces and depths; for instance, using seven to eight modules from their Tetra PowerMAX or miniMAX line of modules you could illuminate an eight-inch capital ‘T’ efficiently! This allows more letters in less space while saving money during installation.
Energy Efficiency
Channel letter signs utilize fewer bulbs than other signage solutions, leading to significant energy savings and maintenance cost reduction. They also last longer without needing replacement or adjustment – an ideal combination for businesses that wish to reduce their carbon footprint while increasing brand visibility.
While LED lights tend to last a long time, eventually replacement may become necessary. Certain factors can reduce their lifespan; including where and at what temperature it operates in. LEDs exposed to salt air will experience an accelerated degradation process.
Formed channel letters typically consist of back panels constructed of router-cut aluminum sheeting in various thicknesses. Their sides, known as returns, are bent by computer-driven bending and shaping machines; typically 3-8 inches deep returns can be painted a standard color or customized to complement the back of the sign. They may also be illuminated using neon or LEDs and coated with clear polycarbonate that has translucent vinyl applied over it to create a halo effect.
Longevity
Channel letters are an attractive illuminated sign solution, ideal for creating an eye-catching illuminated sign in any setting. Available in many shapes and sizes, channel letters can be utilized indoors or outdoors and are an effective means of drawing customers while increasing business visibility.
Channel letter signs are designed with longevity in mind, using aluminum and LED lights, both of which are highly durable materials that resist rust and corrosion and can be replaced as necessary. Furthermore, channel letter signs are energy efficient; using less power than traditional neon illuminated signage.
Channel letters are constructed of aluminum, and their sides can be painted to match your brand. Their face can be made out of acrylic or polycarbonate material and finished off with a trim cap to complete their polished appearance.
