LED illuminated channel letter signs can help increase restaurant or convenience store visibility and attract new customers at night.
LED lighting solutions that offer bright, uniform illumination are essential components of many businesses’ brand identities, while simultaneously increasing profits. By choosing the appropriate solution, your business could experience greater ROI.
Energy Efficiency
Front lit channel letters are one of the most effective and versatile signage options for your storefront, offering easy readability in low-light conditions or at night while distinguishing you from competitors.
LED signs are energy efficient, using significantly less power than neon and saving you money in electrical costs. Furthermore, their LED bulbs produce minimal heat emissions making them safer to use than traditional sign lighting solutions.
GE’s OptiLens technology ensures your LEDs are illuminated properly. It improves uniformity while decreasing power consumption, enabling more LED modules to fit into your cabinet – for instance a five-inch depth capitol T can be illuminated using only seven or eight Tetra miniMAX modules – perfect for customers with limited cabinet space.
Longevity
The lifespan of illuminated channel letter signs depends on several factors, including their placement, climate and quality of LED bulbs. A sign located near an ocean may be exposed to salt air that speeds up material deterioration. Furthermore, sunlight exposure should also be considered; too much sun could lead to faded or discolored signs.
Comparative to neon, GE’s Tetra LED modules boast superior longevity when compared with neon signs. Their ULTRA and PRO premium module families offer constant current, which guarantees all LEDs in a string perform at the same level. Furthermore, their OptiLenz technology optimizes LED performance by focusing it onto sign faces; this reduces the number of modules needed to light a five-inch depth capitol “T”, leading to significant cost savings – an invaluable benefit for businesses open after dark such as restaurants or pubs!
Durability
Durability is an integral component of LED illuminated channel letter signage and its overall value. Many signs are constructed using durable materials like aluminum and polycarbonate that are meant to withstand the elements.
These materials are also easy to maintain and clean, helping the signage last longer while looking its best over time. This makes these signs the ideal choice for businesses that operate after dark or open their doors 24 hours per day.
Front-lit channels are a go-to choice for businesses seeking to add an upscale aesthetic to their brand message. Their translucent faces can be illuminated using neon gas tubes or, increasingly, LED modules; additionally, clear acrylic covers may be added to prevent birds from nesting inside and protect from harsh weather conditions and debris accumulation.
Visibility
LED channel letter lights stand out and draw passers-by thanks to their brightness. Furthermore, their low lighting requirements mean that they’re cost-effective options for businesses looking for cost-efficient signs that remain lit at all times. Furthermore, these signs have lower voltage requirements compared to traditional signage allowing them to run on any standard 120V circuit.
Front-lit channel letter signs are the most widely used type, often constructed of aluminum with translucent acrylic faces and trim caps lining them to give an upscale appearance. These front-lit signs are the most widely-sold channel letter signs available today and remain extremely popular today.
LED channel letters come in an assortment of fonts, sizes, and shapes to meet the signage needs of businesses of various types. Plus, their easy installation makes them the ideal solution for businesses that must change out their signage frequently.
