Durability

Illuminated channel letters are an effective signage option for businesses that seek to attract customers and increase visibility. Their durable construction makes maintenance simple while their LED lighting technology requires much lower voltage levels than neon-based neon signs.

Signs with acrylic front surfaces offer a professional appearance and come in various colors to meet branding standards and match specific company colors, making this type of sign ideal for retail centers, strip malls and commercial buildings.

The longevity of illuminated channel letters depends on their materials and placement. Signs near oceanfront locations will be exposed to salt air which accelerates deterioration of various materials; hot temperatures may damage LED lights causing it to dim over time – however these issues are easily rectifiable by professionals. Moreover, LED bulbs are more durable and do not contain mercury than their neon predecessors.

Light-weight

Furthermore, they can even incorporate logo symbols or characters for an authentic appearance that makes a professional statement about who runs it all.

Channel letter illumination typically employs LED technology, which is both energy-efficient and durable, providing brighter illumination in low lighting conditions while also requiring less maintenance than traditional neon or incandescent signs.

Backs of channel letters are constructed from flat sheets of aluminum in various thicknesses, while returns, which form their sides, are bent to meet the curves of their back using computer-driven bending and shaping machines. Fronts of channel letters may then be covered in vinyl or translucent acrylic sheeting; historically trim cap borders were used to secure their positions; however, modern manufacturing techniques allow for trimless styles as well.

Easy to install

Channel letter signs can be an effective way to draw customers in after dark. They’re great for restaurants, gas stations, bars, convenience stores and more, making your business visible both inside and outside your building. Installation requires setting up the work area, gathering all equipment, tools and supplies needed, creating any necessary templates (if applicable) installing channel bases/mounting brackets/wiring then placing sign faces on channels as required.

LED channel letters use less electricity than their neon or halo-lit counterparts. Thanks to GE’s Tetra LED lighting system, which offers greater uniformity for illumination purposes than neon signs, an LED five-inch depth capitol T can be illuminated using 13-15 Tetra modules compared with 15 neon modules required previously – providing significant energy savings and therefore making an excellent option when selecting signage for your business.

Customization

Channel letters are internally illuminated three-dimensional signs that spell out your business name or logo in an eye-catching way. Available in various fonts and sizes with custom colors such as neon or LED lighting, channel letters are an economical way to attract attention and drive customers toward your establishment.

Standard front lit channel letters are the most widely-used variety of channel letter signs. These signs typically consist of aluminum back and sides (returns) with polycarbonate or acrylic faces internally illuminated by LED’s or neon, held securely in place with plastic trim caps or metal retainers that can be bolted to their returns.

Halo-lit or reverse channel letters provide another great solution. Similar to their standard front-lit cousin, these unique signs feature open back characters which reflect neon or LED lighting on the wall behind, creating an eye-catching halo effect around each individual letter and creating a stunning impression for customers passing by.
