Channel letter LED lights are an attractive and affordable way to illuminate 3D letters and shapes. They can either be back lit for an illuminating glow, or front lit to produce a stunning halo effect.
Illuminated signs can draw attention day or night, yet can be affected by external factors like weather and temperatures.
LEDs are the Future of Signage
LED digital signage technology holds the key to offering next-generation visual experiences while conserving energy costs, revolutionizing how businesses and advertisers engage their target consumer base.
InfoComm 2016 demonstrated the vast potential of LED digital signage. Innovations included stunning improvements in terms of pixel pitch and performance. They also point the way toward seamless large area displays that provide near viewer display resolutions.
LED signs produce very little heat, making them safer for use than traditional signs. Furthermore, they’re easier to install and have longer lifespan than other types. Furthermore, they are energy efficient with bright illumination levels available in red, yellow, green, blue violet and infrared spectrum colors – as well as sizes suitable for exterior and interior signage purposes. Our Tennessee Sign Company fabrication LED signs feature acrylic facings with metal trim caps.
They Are Energy Efficient
LEDs differ from traditional lights in that their energy is only partially wasted through electroluminescence – and therefore have less of an effect on your power bill! This technology also can make more efficient use of energy, saving up to 30-40 percent when compared to fluorescent lighting!
LEDs consume significantly fewer watts to produce the same level of bright lighting as fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen bulbs – translating to savings on power bills as well as reduced environmental footprint.
They generate minimal heat and do not contain toxic materials like mercury that require costly disposal services when their lifespans have come to an end, making them particularly advantageous in indoor grow operations where less heat reduces water evaporation and helps prevent dehydration of both plants and soil.
LEDs are more eco-friendly than their glass-containing counterparts because they do not break easily and reduce injuries or damages caused by glass fragments breaking. This reduces repairs or replacement costs while keeping signage looking great!
They Are Long Lasting
LEDs (light emitting diodes), also known as light emitting diodes in channel letters, are long-lived technologies. Composed of semiconductor materials with two doped regions – P -positive and N-negative) – when current passes through these doped regions electrons leap to higher energy states which radiate light as they leave.
LEDs have become the go-to light fixture due to their durability and longevity compared with their predecessors, yet other components could shorten its lifespan, such as power supply units that supply DC power directly to LED strips that must come from reputable suppliers that publish MTBF and L70 metrics.
Weather, debris and pests could also reduce the lifespan of an illuminated sign. Regular maintenance must be conducted to keep it looking its best – such as washing away grime, clearing away dirt or checking on wiring connections – while in case there are structural or electrical issues which require professional intervention, they should always contact a specialist.
They Are Easy to Install
Channel letter lighting is an easy, cost-effective and energy efficient solution for increasing business visibility. Not only can it easily install, but LED signs are more energy efficient as they consume less electricity.
Channel letters are metal (typically aluminum or stainless steel) sign elements with custom-designed face material and returns. While typically illuminated, non-illuminated versions may also be acceptable depending on lease agreements and local regulations governing signage illumination.
Illuminated channel letters are highly effective at increasing brand recognition, especially at night when lit with LEDs to attract attention and visibility. Available in multiple sizes and fonts, these illuminated letters can even be tailored specifically to match the logo of your company.
Front-lit and halo-lit channel letters feature non-corrosive fasteners to secure them to an oversized backer, monument sign, wall, or architectural feature for a more architectural appearance. Once attached, LEDs illuminate their letters to create either a front or halo effect which are controlled via an easily hidden power supply behind the sign.
