LED channel letter lighting can help your business become more visible. More effective than neon and with lower voltage power usage, it saves energy costs.

Signs that illuminate at night are ideal for restaurants, pubs, bars and convenience stores – though any company seeking to increase visibility after dark could use this type of sign.

Easy to Install

LED channel letters offer an effective and eye-catching way to advertise your business, as they’re easy to install, energy efficient and can be tailored specifically to meet the needs of restaurants, bars, clubs or any other businesses that operate after dark. They make an ideal addition to restaurants, bars and clubs offering night time service or sales.

LED block letters can be front or back lit and come in an assortment of fonts and sizes, making them easy to maintain and enduring for longer as long as proper maintenance practices are observed.

Front-lit channel letters consist of aluminum back, aluminum sides (called returns ), and acrylic faces, each custom painted to match their letter or number color and mounted to their return using noncorrosive studs for mounting. This style tends toward clean or architectural looks. LED channel letters typically require plugging them into an amplifier transformer to lower voltage output.

Energy-Efficient

The lifespan of illuminated channel letters largely depends on their placement. Signs that are exposed to elements will deteriorate quickly due to salt air corrosion and sun rays fading the colors or draining illumination; while indoor signs will be protected from these effects and should last much longer.

LEDs outlive neon tubes significantly and offer more efficient energy solutions, so lighted signage that utilizes them will save money over its lifespan.

Front lit channel letters are made from aluminum, with their returns bent to form a “can.” Once painted and fitted with lighting components such as neon gas tubes or LED modules, a translucent plastic face cut to fit is attached over top and finished off with a trim cap for an aesthetic finish. LEDs illuminate this type of signage day or night for dramatic visual impact.

Durable

Channel letter signs make an attractive and effective form of business signage, being both durable and easy to maintain, with attractive results that attract passersby’s eyes. But when selecting this sign type for your business, be mindful of the climate in which you operate – salt air hastens material deterioration while shortening LED life span.

Construction of a channel letter sign begins with a metal base known as a “letter can,” typically made of aluminum to prevent rust. Letters are then assembled using plastic molded faces which snap onto the can and feature translucent or light-diffusing colors for an illuminating halo effect. Finally, LED modules and transformers are installed into the channel with whip wires attached for illumination of individual letters.

Customizable

Channel letter lighting is one of the most versatile signage options available to businesses. It can be used to display figures, letters, words, numbers or logos; plus it stands out well against darkness. With so much versatility at their fingertips, channel letter lighting may even attract customers directly to your business!

Channel letters are internally illuminated three-dimensional signs designed to grab attention day or night, often known as LED signs or neon alternatives, offering numerous advantages over traditional signage.

These letters typically feature translucent acrylic that creates an eye-catching glow when lit at night, with aluminum sides and backs providing support. Channel letters may be front-lit, reverse-lit or dual-lit to suit different purposes – from front illumination through acrylic faces, reverse illumination from behind (also called “halo illumination”) or both front and reverse illumination to create visually striking glow effects. Front illumination produces front illumination from within acrylic faceplates while reverse illumination comes from behind or from both sources of illumination (called dual lighting) combined into an attractive glow effect whereas “halo lit” channel letters combine both types for an all-round visually striking glow that complement each other.
