LED illuminated channel letters offer several advantages over other forms of signage when looking to add custom signage to your storefront.
LED Rail operates at 24volts and eliminates fire hazards while saving up to 80% more energy compared to neon lighting.
Cost
Channel letter signage comprises illuminated three-dimensional letters that are internally lit, typically internally illuminated and either front, reverse or dual lit. They can be constructed of aluminum with translucent acrylic faces. Reverse-lit signs feature LED strips behind them which light up like an “halo”. Front-lit signs use individual lights inlaid into the sign face which allow it to shine from both sides simultaneously.
LEDs consume significantly less energy than neon tubes, meaning fewer bulbs are necessary to illuminate them, leading to significant savings on electricity costs. Furthermore, LED lighting produces less heat.
To maximize your investment, it’s critical that you select the proper lighting components for your new LED sign. US LED offers a selection of accessories to ensure optimal performance of your sign – including transformers that convert 12V output voltage to 24V for channel letters and sign cabinets and enclosures that provide extra protection from weather, debris and animals.
Energy Efficiency
LED illuminated channel letter signs may be more cost-effective than neon signs in terms of electricity costs, particularly near businesses operating after dark. Because LED illumination is more concentrated and thus requires less electricity to achieve the same effect – leading to significant savings on your energy bill!
LEDs offer businesses another option when trying to draw attention during the day; however, this may violate local laws which prohibit flashing lights.
LEDs are more energy efficient than neon tubes, using less electricity to illuminate signs. This can save money on energy costs as well as maintenance expenses for signs. One potential drawback of LED lighting may be its degradation over time due to harsh weather conditions like salt air exposure; this can be circumvented by selecting the appropriate materials for signage projects.
Longevity
Channel letters are long-lasting signs, but they require regular upkeep in order to remain looking their best. Over time, LED lights in the sign may need replacing and their aluminum housing may need repainting or cleaning.
Illuminated signs in coastal locations should be protected from salt air, which can hasten material decay. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to cold weather may cause LED lights to lose brightness over time.
Fabricated channel letters are an effective way of drawing in passing motorists and pedestrians. Illuminated with LEDs, they produce an eye-catching glow that’s sure to catch everyone’s attention. Plus, the signs can come in various colors and sizes to suit any business need; raceway styles may reduce mounting screws. Channel letters also make great additions for retail stores in busy strip malls!
Maintenance
Channel letters are three-dimensional signs crafted of metal or plastic and illuminated internally using LED (the most common option) or neon lighting, making them an effective way of drawing attention to your business during daytime hours. They’re highly visible from afar and work nonstop, drawing customers in and promoting your brand all day long – not to mention being highly durable, making channel letters both smart and economical choices!
Your illuminated sign’s lifespan depends on a range of factors, including weather and temperature conditions. Salt air can accelerate the degradation of certain materials while cold temperatures may reduce LED lights’ lifespan. To extend its life expectancy, regularly wash it down and clear away debris that clogs its lighting system.
HanleyLED provides a selection of RGB channel letter modules that offer superior performance with efficient heat dissipation and an extended lifespan, as well as various brightness, LED spacing and color temperature options to meet any of your specific needs.
