No matter if it’s neon signs or traditional channel letter signs, having the appropriate LED lighting accessories are crucial to keep them bright throughout their lives. US LED offers everything needed to keep your signs shining bright around the clock.

Front lit channel letters feature aluminum backs and sides (known as returns) with acrylic faces for easy promotion of any business. They’ve been around since 1886 – so why shouldn’t your business use this timeless approach to advertising its goods or services?

Customization

Channel letter lighting comes in many styles, colors and sizes to give your brand an eye-catching appearance both day and night. These 3 dimensional letters/logos are one of the most sought-after signage options among modern businesses.

Front lit channel letters (sometimes known as standard channel letters ) are one of the most widely utilized types of illuminated channel letter signs, comprised of an aluminum back, aluminum sides (called returns ), and an acrylic face in any desired color.

Front lit signs typically employ LED modules or neon gas tubes as their light source, with LED lights being more popular due to their energy efficiency and longer lifespan.

Reverse lit channels differ from front-lit signs in that they use backlighting instead of face lighting to illuminate letters, creating a halo effect around them and often used for larger business names and logos. Their backs can feature solid colors or translucent acrylic faces; alternatively you could choose an outline design instead which eliminates return for narrower rims.

Durability

Illuminated channel letters are an increasingly popular way to raise business visibility in retail storefronts or commercial buildings. Their design makes them more durable than neon signs and use less costly LED lighting technology – not to mention they promote sustainable practices!

The lifespan of illuminated channel letter signs depends on their materials, placement and maintenance practices. For instance, an outdoor sign will be subject to sun and salt air exposure that accelerates its deterioration as well as cold temperatures that sap energy from their lights.

LEDs are more resilient and weather-proof, as well as using less power and producing less heat than neon signs, helping lower electricity bills and the risk of fire hazard. Furthermore, these signs are rust-resistant and customizable for any application or even to display digital graphics for a unique aesthetic.

Energy Efficiency

Channel letters are an eye-catching form of commercial signage designed to draw passersby’s attention after dark. Crafted with router-cut aluminum sheeting in various thicknesses with acrylic faces attached and held together using trim caps available in any Pantone hue imaginable for a polished finish, channel letters attract passersby day or night.

LED Strips are used to illuminate signs, providing more efficient illumination at lower costs than neon tubes and producing less heat in return. Their wide variety of applications makes LED Strips suitable for both outdoor and indoor signs, saving both money and time in the process.

Your lighting’s efficiency can be measured in lumens per watt (lm/W). A higher number indicates greater luminous flux. Along with considering wattage, consider also the color temperature in degrees Kelvin (K), with lower numbers representing warmer yellow/red hues while higher numbers tend towards bluer tones. Finally, think about lifespan in terms of hours used and when they should be changed out regularly.

Maintenance

Channel letter signs require regular maintenance in order to stay looking their best. Depending on their location, materials used and amount of light they receive, illuminated channels may last anywhere from 5-10 years with proper care.

Fabricated aluminum halo lit channel letters add elegance and sophistication to your signage, giving it a luxurious appearance. Commonly found in storefronts and strip malls, their vibrant glow grabs passersby’s attention and draws them in closer. LED illumination consumes less energy than neon while producing no heat – cutting your electricity bills down significantly and eliminating potential fire risks for your business.

Consider how easily your sign can be reached for maintenance and cleaning in terms of mounting method selection. Channel letters with raceways can be more difficult to service than signs mounted directly to buildings or walls; when making your choice it’s essential that this factor be factored into the equation. Also decide between direct mount installation or backer mount.
