Illuminated channel letters are an effective way to attract customers and drive foot traffic. Available in various fonts, shapes and sizes – they can even be customized specifically to your brand!
Front-lit channel letters are one of the most frequently seen illuminated signs, typically comprised of acrylic sheet face material, aluminum returns and trim caps.
LEDs consume roughly 80% less energy than neon or other lighting sources, thus lowering overall ownership costs. Our power supplies also include overvoltage, low voltage, spike and brownout protection to decrease service calls caused by malfunctioning transformers; and only use high-quality industrial-grade components.
Front-lit channel letters (sometimes referred to as “front-lit channel letters”) are signs fabricated with acrylic sheet faces and aluminum returns, featuring LED backlighting for stunning effects. Ideal for businesses wanting to stand out in a busy streetscape and needing an elegant or distinguished image for their brand image, front-lit channel letters make a striking visual statement that attracts attention and draws customers in.
Aluminum faces and returns on these signs are transparent to allow light from within to cast a “halo” around each character, creating an eye-catching display in areas with light pollution issues. Companies often choose this form of sign to help set themselves apart from competitors while creating an eye-catching sign display in areas with limited light pollution issues.
Selecting LEDs that match the aesthetic and long-term functionality of your sign is of utmost importance for its success and longevity. Our premium LEDs are among the brightest available, guaranteeing that it can compete with sunlight while remaining legible day and night.
Not like neon, our power supplies feature internal overvoltage, low voltage and spike protection features to keep your sign safe from damage due to overheating or short circuiting. Furthermore, high-voltage silicone insulated wire is employed as extra safeguarding against transformer nuisance tripping or fires.
Construction and installation costs depend on the size of your sign. Larger signs require more raw materials, lights per letter and electrical wiring as well as additional structural support to support their weight. Total length also has an effect; longer signs will need longer raceways with additional mounting points into building facades for mounting, as well as additional power supplies.
Channel letter signs are designed to convey a compelling visual message and capture customers’ attention quickly and efficiently. Available in an array of colors, fonts and sizes – making them an appealing option for businesses wanting to increase brand exposure – channel letters have quickly become one of the more cost-effective and energy efficient forms of visual advertising available today. Nowadays nearly all internally illuminated channel letters use LED lighting which is much more cost-efficient and energy efficient than traditional neon lighting options.
No matter the purpose, these signs are quick and easy to install while also requiring minimal upkeep and maintenance. By adding LED lights, these signs also reduce corrosion risk due to sunlight, rain or wind damage.
Illuminated channel letters can be mounted flush against a building facade or on either a raceway or wireway – two mounting structures that hold electrical components and wiring together – while wireways offer thinner mounting solutions than raceways; both types of mounts may be secured to a metal cabinet as the backer for your signage.
Illuminated channel letter signs are an effective way to promote your business, both from a distance and at night. Visible from all directions, especially during the dark hours, these signs help draw customers in while remaining highly customizable with minimal maintenance needs and energy savings over traditional neon-lit signs.
Signs made of aluminum typically used for fireproofing are also durable enough to withstand fading, chipping and corrosion – which means they’ll stay looking their best over time.
Front-lit channels are among the most widely-used illuminated channel signs, thanks to their acrylic face that can be customized with company colors. Being highly visible from far away makes front-lit channels an excellent choice for large businesses. Furthermore, they can easily be mounted to raceways or wireways which serve both as mounting structures and conduits for the sign’s electrical components – this ensures both safety and ease of installation.
