LED channel signs are an excellent way to increase visibility for your business. Customized to meet your specifications and energy efficient, these illuminated signs use concealed illumination so if one lamp goes out the whole sign won’t stop functioning properly.

Signage with flat sheet metal backs is typically constructed out of aluminum. A computer-controlled router is utilized to cut the piece to size.

Customization

LED channel letters are an ideal way to distinguish your business and ensure maximum exposure from afar and at night. Not only are these signs highly visible from far away but their wide array of fonts and sizes ensure your message will reach its target audience – not to mention they can even be customized to reflect the branding and logo of your organization!

First, build the sign’s face from various materials, adding dimension with metal returns for added three-dimensional effect and trim caps for finished appearance. Next comes painting in your desired hue or adding LED backlit illumination for backlighting purposes.

Next step in mounting signage is selecting an installation method: flush mount, direct mount or backer mount are among your options. A raceway mount provides housing for electrical components and power sources while backer panels act as frames for your sign.

Durability

Channel letters are self-contained three-dimensional metal (typically aluminum) or plastic fabricated signs with internally illuminated letter sides made of coil aluminum sheeting and custom painted to suit your brand colors and design aesthetic. Commonly, channel letters come framed by backer panels which can be personalized to reflect this personalized feel.

Front-lit channel letters are one of the most widely-used types of illuminated signs, drawing people’s attention both day and night. Comprised of translucent acrylic faces with lights within each letter itself, front-lit channel letters stand out among their counterparts as a vibrant sign.

LED signs can be customized to create a customized look and are great additions for storefronts, strip malls, commercial buildings, offices and storefronts. In fact, they’re up to 80% more energy-efficient than their neon counterparts! Furthermore, you can add characters or logo symbols that reflect your branding standards into these LED lighted channels for an enhanced experience.

Safety

LED lighting does not produce heat and is safe to touch, meaning less maintenance requirements compared to traditional light sources. LED illumination also permits thinner structures for greater versatility in design.

Opposed to traditional neon signs, which required depths greater than five inches to accommodate their standoffs, LED-illuminated signs are thinner and more flexible, as well as being energy efficient with longer lifespans than their neon counterparts.

Front-lit channel letter signage is an effective way of drawing attention throughout the day and night, whether indoors or out. Constructed using translucent acrylic faces with lights shining through to bring these letters to life, front-lit channel letter signage allows businesses to grab people’s attention at a distance.

These signs may be mounted using either a raceway or wireway system. A raceway serves to protect and contain all the electrical components for a sign while wireways serve to conceal its wiring for easier installation on building facades.

Energy Efficiency

Channel letter signs illuminated with LED lighting use less than half the electricity consumed by traditional neon signs, while their LEDs are wired in parallel, so if one burns out it won’t affect all others.

LED signage not only reduces energy usage and costs but also maintenance expenses. Thanks to long lifespan lamps, your sign will stay up and running for many years; plus they’re easy to repair or replace should something go wrong.

LED sign lights are more durable than other forms of illumination, including fluorescent bulbs. They can withstand harsh weather conditions with lower environmental impacts while being easy to install and highly customizable – US LED provides many accessories to enhance the performance of their signs like direct mount for hiding facade wiring behind it or flush mount for creating an elegant appearance.
