Front lit channel letters are considered industry standard, featuring translucent faces and LED illumination that illuminates the entire sign. They are ideal for businesses seeking an upscale appearance.
We carry all the LED lighting components you require for new or retrofitted pan-channel letter signage, from energy efficient products that last to durable materials that offer maximum energy savings.
Customization
Channel letter signs provide unparalleled levels of customization, enabling you to tailor them perfectly to fit the look and feel of your company logo or brand. They come in various sizes, fonts and colors so that your sign stands out among its competition and your message can be read from a distance.
Channel letters come in three primary varieties, namely standard front-lit, back-lit and halo-illuminated types. Standard front-lit channels feature transparent acrylic faces which reflect light onto their letters to illuminate them; they’re often employed when an upscale appearance or minimal light pollution are desired.
Back-lit channels are made of aluminum sides and faces to enable LED illumination to pass through both, making these signs highly visible at night in restaurants and retail establishments. Back-lit signs may also be required in certain places for increased night visibility; front lit channel letters with back-illuminated channel letters provide this functionality as well. Finally, Halo-illuminated signs combine front lit channel letters with back-illuminated letters to produce the halo effect by lighting each character individually with light from behind them – creating a truly unique sign!
Energy Efficiency
Utilizing LED backlit signs enables businesses to reduce energy costs and maintenance expenses over time, saving on both bills.
LEDs also boast longer lifespans than other lighting sources, making them an excellent investment for businesses seeking an inexpensive yet long-lasting sign to attract customers.
Front lit channel letter signage is the most common type of illuminated channel signage. Light shines through translucent acrylic faces to grab attention night or day and offer great long distance visibility.
Back lit or reverse channel letters (often known as halo channels) create the illusion that your sign floats off the wall, giving your brand an airy appearance. They feature aluminum backs and sides with clear or translucent acrylic faces and spacers are used during installation to produce an “halo effect” around its shape.
Durability
Illuminated channel letter signage can be an effective advertising option for businesses that wish to stand out in their field, yet can be an expensive upfront investment. When coupled with quality LED illumination and design features, however, this signage offers long-term financial returns that could easily surpass its initial costs.
An effective illuminated sign can increase foot traffic at nighttime hours and low visibility conditions, translating to increased sales and brand recognition – ultimately leading to a direct ROI.
LEDs are known for their durability, making LED-lit signs much longer-lived than traditional lighting solutions. Furthermore, their use of less energy lowers your electric bill significantly while no glass parts or tubes need replacement, cutting maintenance costs and downtime significantly. By conducting regular inspections on your illuminated sign you can identify potential issues early and avoid costly repairs while assuring customer safety and complying with local regulations.
Safety
Channel letter signs are an effective and safe way to advertise your business day or night from a distance, providing easy and inexpensive advertising at nighttime and from any distance. Their aluminum channels and polycarbonate covers provide extra protection between LED strip lights and any equipment or objects which might come into contact with them.
Front Lit Channel Letters are the most frequently seen signs in channel signs, featuring acrylic faces illuminated by either neon or LED modules, making these letters easy to read both daytime and at night. Front-lit letters offer high visibility for maximum day and nighttime reading pleasure.
Back-lit channel letter signs are another popular type of channel sign. These have a clear plastic face attached to an aluminum backing and use LED modules to create an illuminated halo effect around its characters, which make them particularly useful in shopping centers or free standing buildings. Back-lit signs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
