Channel letter signs are an effective and cost-efficient choice of signage when lease agreements and local regulations allow illuminated signs. They’re more cost effective than neon.
Front-lit signs employ LED strips inside acrylic panels to illuminate letter faces for optimal night and day readability, while reverse lit signs create an eye-catching “halo” around each letter.
Face Lit
Face Lit Channel Letters provide your business with an eye-catching sign that is sure to draw in new customers and visitors. This style of illuminated signage provides long-term durability while consuming less energy overall.
These three-dimensional sign letters are created using flat sheet metal – usually aluminum – which is easy to work with and does not rust. The back of each letter is created by cutting a piece of aluminum to shape, while its sides are bent back into position using computer-driven bending machines.
The front of each letter is then drilled and routed in order to accommodate LED modules being placed inside. They may either be perpendicular or parallel with the back of the letter for customization purposes; some companies even opt for optic-based modules which redirect native beam angles laterally, creating more even illumination.
Halo Lit
Halo lit channel letter signs feature backlighting that creates an elegant “halo” effect around each letter, providing businesses with an eye-catching way of standing out from competitors visually and offering increased brand visibility at night, helping attract more customers. These channel letters make an ideal option for businesses who want their letters to stand out in an elegant, visually striking manner while increasing customer acquisition rates.
Halo-illuminated channel letters are typically designed to meet local signage regulations, saving you from potential fines or legal complications. Furthermore, these highly durable letters can withstand harsh weather conditions without fading or chipping – perfect for businesses that rely on them!
These front/back lit channels by X Tech Bowling Supplies in Henrietta NY appear normal during the day but come alive at night thanks to LEDs lighting up their backside to produce a halo effect. This combination product allows one color to shine through on one face while contrasting nicely against its stone monument host.
Fabricated Aluminum
Each channel letter features a translucent acrylic face adorned with LED illumination for nighttime promotions of your business or brand. They’re highly visible and stand out against competitors’ products or services to stand out.
Channel letters are created using flat sheets of metal – typically aluminum due to its superior rustproof properties – with its sides, known as returns, then bent to conform to the back using computerized bending and shaping machines. Once painted and fitted with lighting components such as neon gas tubes or energy efficient LED lights, it’s ready for lighting components such as neon gas tubes.
LSI Solutions recently completed a halo lit channel letter project for a local stone monument. This channel letter is mounted to a granite base and illuminated using LEDs, creating a halo effect with its backside illumination.
Custom Design
Channel letters are three dimensional signs with illuminated letter faces to draw customers in day or night, typically divided into two types – front-lit and back-lit (known as reverse halo). Channel letters can be customized to give your brand additional exposure.
Flat signs don’t compare in creating visual texture like this one can. They create depth through font choices and sizes. Curved signs are commonly seen at storefronts but also have applications in ground signage like monument or pylon signs.
Letters made of aluminum on their back and sides, while acrylic and vinyl for their faces make up this form of signage. Trim caps usually match their letter colors; improved manufacturing techniques have even enabled for trimless appearance on certain signs if desired. Indicative signs can also be illuminated using LEDs, neon or just left non-illuminated to complete their look.
