LED lighting for channel letter signs improves readability and helps set your business apart from competitors. Furthermore, it enhances the overall appearance of your business while offering multiple design options to represent its image.
LED strip lights are an integral component of decorative signage, providing a captivating atmosphere and being energy efficient – perfect for businesses that remain open after dark.
Energy-efficient
LED lights produce very little heat, meaning they do not burn out as quickly and can help lower your electricity bill. LEDs also boast higher efficiency ratings – measured in lumens per watt or “luminous efficacy”, the greater its effectiveness is.
LED lighting can save up to 30% in energy costs and is environmentally friendly. Not only can LEDs reduce power bills, they have much longer lifespan than traditional bulbs – saving money on repairs and replacement costs.
Contrasting with neon signs, LED lights can be mounted directly to their back surface for mounting. Installation options can include drilling or welding the return to the frame for easy placement; typically painted, and complete with any necessary lighting components – LED first surface lighting provides an elegant modern aesthetic for channel letter signs.
Durable
LED channel letters provide an eye-catching signage solution with dynamic effects and are energy efficient compared to neon lighting, helping reduce electricity bills by an astounding 80%. Plus they’re programmable allowing dynamic features that make your sign even more effective at drawing attention after dark!
Channel letter signs offer three-dimensionality that cannot be replicated with flat signs, providing visual texture not found with flat signage options. They’re an ideal solution for businesses operating after dark like bars, restaurants and convenience stores.
They can deteriorate over time, particularly if exposed to salt air or direct sunlight, especially UV rays which accelerate material degradation. Furthermore, heat generated during operation of signs can shorten their lifespan of LEDs reducing LED lifespan drastically if you choose not to work with an established signage company who will handle all aspects of design, creation and illumination for you.
Customizable
Channel letter lighting is an attractive, customizable signage option that can be formed into various letters and logos for increased brand exposure and business exposure. Not only is this type of sign durable and energy-efficient, it is also highly customizable!
Fabricated channel letters are composed of aluminum that has been cut and welded into the shape of letters. Their back has either a brushed or painted finish and features a clear acrylic face which allows up to 85% of light through, as well as translucent vinyl overlays and digitally printed films for additional color options. Trimcap colors are also offered to coordinate with your company logo and branding.
LEDs used in these signs are specifically engineered to last for many years with proper care and can easily be maintained or replaced as necessary. Furthermore, these lights offer low operating costs with superior uniformity – ideal for outdoor applications.
Affordable
LED channel letters offer many advantages over neon, which is fragile and often broken, including being more durable as well as being significantly cheaper to run. Furthermore, these durable letters use less electricity, making them much more cost-effective in running costs for any business seeking increased day and nighttime visibility. LED letters make great restaurant signage but can also help increase brand recognition for any organization looking for increased day and nighttime presence.
