led lights for channel letters

Channel letters are three-dimensional metal signs used to display words, numbers or logo symbols. They can be illuminated or non-illuminated and come complete with custom paint finishes; typically mounted onto raceways or wireways.

Illuminated signage increases business visibility after dark. US LED offers all the lighting accessories necessary for channel letter signs to look their best.

Face Lit

Front lit channel letters (also referred to as standard channel letters) are one of the most widely-used types of illuminated channel letters, commonly used by businesses for advertising their message or services. Fabricated from aluminum returns custom cut to shape each letter or number, an acrylic face is attached and fastened securely using trim caps, creating an “can.” LED lighting illuminates it internally.

These acrylic faces are often utilized by retailers and shopping centers to capture consumers’ attention day or night, projecting your brand image through various lighting conditions and color choices.

These signs can help your business stand out from the competition by drawing people in and drawing their attention towards your brand. Commonly used at building entrances, they work well at drawing attention towards your name.

Halo Lit

Halo lit channel letters use LED lights placed behind or at the back of each letter to illuminate its face and create an eye-catching sign day or night. These illuminated channels letters create a “halo” effect which allows customers to notice this sign both day and night.

This type of channel letter sign is energy efficient, using only a fraction of the power required by traditional signs and producing significantly less heat emissions, relieving cooling systems while helping your business reduce energy costs.

This channel letter signage style features front faces crafted of translucent acrylic and aluminum returns. They are constructed by using a router to cut aluminum pieces to form individual characters before being fitted with LED modules for illumination. Once mounted away from walls, they allow light to reflect off their illuminated haloes for an eye-catching display that draws people in day or night! It has become one of the most sought-after styles, drawing attention throughout their existence.

Fabricated Aluminum

An aluminum channel letter features an aluminum back with a plastic face molded over it, snapping into place when attached. This face can either be flat or prismatic (faceted). A trim cap border adorns its edges.

This style of channel letter is often chosen by businesses looking for an eye-catching yet contemporary appearance at night. LED lighting inserted into an acrylic face illuminates each character in turn to create an eye-catching halo that draws passersby in closer.

LEDs boast longer lifespans than neon signs and require significantly less maintenance, making them an excellent investment for any business. A range of strip duct accessories including end caps and mounting brackets is available from Citylight; for more information visit their website now.

Stainless Steel

LED channel letters make an excellent addition to many applications, providing cost-effective illumination of businesses while drawing passersby’s attention. Their LED strip can be covered by various light diffusers – clear, opaque or semi-opaque depending on what works best with its brightness distribution and brightness levels.

Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy used in outdoor signage due to its durability. LED channels made of stainless steel come in different finishes such as natural satin/brushed, painted or polished; furthermore they have aluminum end caps and mounting brackets.

Fabricated stainless steel halo lit channel letters offer an industrial look with energy-efficient LED lighting, featuring a removable can for easy maintenance. If desired, backlighting may also be added – in this instance adequate access must be granted for running wiring behind walls or ceilings above them; either one transformer can power this option; depending on its size this backlight can even power itself!
