Channel letters are an effective and versatile way to promote your business, providing an impressive and professional appearance in storefronts and beyond. Furthermore, these versatile ads can even be tailored specifically for you!
Front-lit signs illuminate each letter directly while reverse lit signs cast an illuminating halo around them. Some manufacturers make use of both techniques simultaneously for greater uniformity while using less LED modules than traditional systems.
Customization
Channel letter signs are internally illuminated 3D letters and logos designed to draw passersby’s attention day or night. Available in a range of fonts and designs, these signs can be tailored to any brand specifications as they use less energy than neon or other types of lighting – saving money on energy bills in the process!
Channel letters come in both front-lit and back-lit varieties, with the former featuring LED illumination shining through translucent letter faces to produce a halo effect and increase visibility. They are the most widely-used sign type and can even be custom designed according to your business logo and branding needs.
Fabricated aluminum halo-lit channels feature LEDs on their first-surface to produce an eye-catching halo effect, giving your signs a distinctive look. Available in a range of sizes and finishes such as painted, anodized and polished; they can easily be attached to walls, mounted on raceways or even recessed into buildings – they are easy to maintain and customizable according to your business needs.
Durability
Channel letter signage gives your business a professional appearance that attracts customers’ interest. Made of long-wearing aluminum alloy, channel letters feature durable acrylic material or polycarbonate sheet in any color that you specify for day/night visibility – ideal for high rise installations!
Durability of illuminated channel letters depends on many variables, including the materials used and maintenance they receive. Signs placed near salt air damage could significantly shorten their lifespan while temperature and weather changes could also have an impactful impact, cracking them under sun damage.
Illuminated channel letters are durable, cost-effective, and energy efficient–making them an excellent way to advertise businesses of any size. Their high visibility can match any company logo or message perfectly, and LED bulbs make lighting them much more energy-efficient than traditional neon lighting options.
Reliability
Reliability of led channel letters is of utmost importance for business owners, particularly when visible at night. Bright, uniform lighting draws the eye and increases visibility; sturdy structures must withstand weather conditions; reliability also depends upon an easily replaceable lighting source.
Front-lit channel letters are a staple of channel letter signs. Fabricated from flat sheets of aluminum and formed using computerized routing, bending, and shaping machines, front-lit signs are typically attached to returns which then provide support. Finally, acrylic caps complete this sign to form its face.
Opting for reverse lit channel letters that illuminate from behind is also an option, typically found on monument and wall mount signs as well as free-standing lettering bases.
Cost
Channel letters are an essential tool for businesses looking to boost their branding and draw more attention to themselves. Not only can they give storefronts an inviting appearance, they can also be integrated with other ground signage like monument signs or pylon signs to create a professional display that stands out. Channel letters come in various sizes that can either be illuminated or not lit – offering businesses flexibility when it comes to signage for their brand and drawing customers in.
Front-lit signs are one of the most widely used types of channel letters, featuring illumination from neon gas tubes or LED modules and featuring translucent acrylic faces that attract customers at night. Available in multiple colors to reflect any company brand identity.
Costing of illuminated channel letters depends upon their size and design. To accurately estimate pricing, calculate the number of LED lights per letter as well as the price per LED ($/LED). Enter these variables into a calculator for further evaluation of pricing. A fabricated channel letter includes materials, labor costs, assembly and quality testing costs in its price tag.
