LEDs are an efficient, energy-saving, bright way to illuminate channel letters. Installation is quick and effortless – making this option popular with businesses of all kinds.
Front lit or standard channel letter signage draws in visitors both day and night, using an aluminum back, aluminum sides (called returns ) and translucent acrylic face to catch attention from passersby.
LEDs are a great way to illuminate your channel letters
LEDs make an excellent way to illuminate channel letters as they use less power than traditional lighting options, translating to significant savings on electricity bills and maintenance expenses. Furthermore, LEDs are also more durable and resistant to the elements than other methods.
Illuminated channel letters are one of the best ways to capture customers’ attention, drawing customers in from all directions. You can custom design these signs according to your business needs, including font, size, shape and illumination level preferences. Highly visible both day and night, illuminated channel letters are especially effective in drawing attention when stores open after dark.
Front-lit channel letters are the most frequently seen form of illuminated signage, featuring light that shines through translucent acrylic faces to capture attention at a distance and brand your business. Halo channels, another popular lighted solution, employ LED modules mounted within lexan backs that reflect off their faces to produce an “halo” effect for added branding impact.
They are energy-efficient
LEDs emit light only in one direction, unlike traditional bulbs which produce energy from all directions. This helps lower energy consumption by eliminating reflectors and diffusers that contain over half of all the light produced within each bulb.
LED bulbs have an average lifespan of 20 years, meaning you need to replace them significantly less often compared to fluorescent or incandescent lamps – saving both money and the environment!
People were once used to selecting light bulbs by their wattage, which may not always correspond with brightness. With LEDs, lumens provide more accurate measures of brightness.
LEDs do not contain toxic elements, making them an invaluable choice for businesses that operate after dark such as restaurants, pubs, grills and convenience stores. Not only will LEDs save on costs for waste disposal services but their nontoxic nature also reduces expenses significantly.
They are easy to install
LEDs offer an energy efficient solution for lighting channel letter signs. Not only are they more energy-efficient and durable than neon tubes, they’re also less costly in terms of monthly lighting bills as their bulbs require less maintenance – all great benefits!
Front lit channel letters utilize LED lighting inside an acrylic face for an eye-catching and uniform effect. You can attach them directly to buildings or mount them on raceways depending on your desired look and location.
Backlit channels use acrylic facing that allows 85-95% of light through, creating a halo effect and coming in various colors. Your logo or colors can even be featured both front and back of the sign for an original look!
They are affordable
Illuminated channel letters are an easy and cost-effective way to set your business apart from competitors and attract more customers. Easy to install, they look stunning day or night – not to mention saving you money on energy bills each month! Plus they save money with every bill that comes due.
3D signs constructed with 0.040 aluminum returns/backer and translucent acrylic faces feature LED lighting to illuminate their front surface, creating an eye-catching visual that can be seen from far away. These types of signs are an economical and popular option for business owners.
LED signs are an ideal solution for small businesses, as they can be customized with any font and style imaginable, come in various colors and finishes and use up to 80% less power than traditional neon lights. Furthermore, their low heat output reduces fire risks significantly and keeps your storefront safe from harm.
