Channel letters are an increasingly popular signage solution for business owners looking to showcase their logo. Available in an array of styles and colors, channel letters can also be illuminated or non-illuminated depending on their intended use.
LED Channel Letters are generally constructed from an aluminum frame with translucent acrylic faces that can be front or reverse lit for optimal viewing, or can even be dual lit for additional flexibility.
Customization
Channel letters are internally illuminated 3 dimensional letters or logos mounted to your building facade and designed to catch people’s eyes as they walk by at night or during winter when customer volumes may increase significantly. They’re one of the fastest-growing forms of signage and offer businesses an effective way to brand themselves during those peak periods when more customers may be out and about.
Back-lit or halo-lit channel letter signs are typically constructed out of aluminum with LED modules installed to illuminate each letter from behind. They may also feature clear polycarbonate that allows translucent vinyl overlays or digitally printed films to add color and create the halo effect.
Returns, or the sides of a sign, can either be welded together or preformed and bent with computer-driven bending machines to form its shape and provide space for LED modules inside. They typically range between 3-8 inches deep to help form its form while leaving enough room to allow maximum illumination from LED modules within. They may either remain solid colors or painted white to maximize illumination from LED modules within.
Durability
Modern LED illuminated channel letters utilize less electricity than neon signs, which reduces operating costs over time. Furthermore, LED channel letters are more durable, meaning they won’t easily break or damage during shipping and installation; plus they are resistant to rusting and harsh weather conditions.
LED face illuminated channel letter signage is an attractive solution for retail businesses that operate after dark, as its LED face illumination makes the signs easy to read from a distance and they can even be customized with brand colors for consistency.
Front-lit channels are constructed using translucent acrylic faces and aluminum sides, and light shines through each character to form a “halo” appearance. Traditional manufacturing techniques use trim caps as holddowns; however, advanced manufacturing processes now enable for cleaner edges without trim caps being needed at all. They can also feature vinyl overlays, backers, perforated returns or new letters – perfect for up close viewing! These channels will attract attention to your business day or night!
Lightweight
Channel letter signage is one of the most effective options for businesses that remain open after dark, as its eye-catching style attracts customers from great distances and draws more footfall to your business. Plus, its LED illumination helps save energy – cutting your electric bill!
Signs that utilize translucent acrylic or aluminum surfaces illuminated by LED modules give these signs an eye-catching appearance that draws the attention of passersby.
LED channel letters come in several varieties: front lit, halo-lit and dual-lit. Front-lit channel letters are the easiest and simplest type to install for any business – ideal for making the best impression during night time when illuminated by LED modules that shine directly towards their target public. They’re also very durable and straightforward to maintain!
Ease of Installation
Channel letter signage can make an eye-catching addition to any storefront or office, adding visual texture that cannot be replicated with flat signs alone. Plus, channel letter signs use less electricity than neon alternatives!
Front-lit channel letters feature acrylic faces to light up the logo or lettering on your business sign at night and attract passersby’s attention. Available in multiple colors to complement any brand design scheme.
Back-lit channel letters (commonly referred to as halo-lit channels) are illuminated from behind with LED or neon tubing modules to create a backlit channel that fills its target wall or monument with light, creating an appealing ambiance.
Installation of these signs can be complex, particularly with regard to electrical connections. Therefore, it’s wise to hire a professional for this job and ensure all connections are safe and secure as well as that letters are correctly positioned on your building.
