Channel LetterS SIGNS

Combo-lit channel letters are an innovation that combines the features of front-lit and back-lit channel letters. Combo-lit letters illuminate the face of the letter, but with a subtle glow also projected from the back. This dual lighting effect creates light around the letters, highly illuminating them and adding depth from within. Combo-lit letters are very useful for businesses since they make a robust visual statement both during the day and at night. The face color can be different from the halo color. Hence it is highly customizable and therefore conspicuous.

The most commonly seen form of channel letters is front-lit. As the name says, these letters are front-illuminated, meaning the internal blub shines facing out and lights up the front translucent panel. The letter face is typically made of acrylic that can be colored in different shades to match your brand. Its internal illumination, done via energy-efficient LEDs, will keep your sign bright and readable. Front-lit channel letters work great for businesses that face high-traffic areas.

The back-lit channel letters also referred to as reverse channel letters or halo-lit letters, create a more subtle and sophisticated look. The light is let out at the back of the letters and reflects off the mounting surface, softly glowing around the edges. This halo effect can make the letters appear floating and give added depth. Reverse LED channel letters are popular for upscale brands and businesses. The contrast between the illuminated background along the non-illuminated face of the letters gives this option a cool, lively visual effect.

Open face channel letters are traditional versions that give the sign a vintage or industrial feel. Unlike other versions of the channel letters, open-face letters do not have an acrylic face, thus leaving the lighting internally mounted and exposed. This will create a bold, eye-catching effect, especially with neon lighting. Open-face channel letters are often chosen by bars, restaurants, and firms dealing in entertainment to create a retro or edgy vibe. The exposed lighting also generates a level of brightness that is hard to replicate with any other kind of channel letters, making them visible from a distance away.

Mounted raceway channel letters are most practical and streamlined for businesses that need an easier, more efficient installation process. In this configuration, the channel letters are mounted on a raceway, a rectangular box housing the electrical components required by the sign. The raceway is attached to the building, reducing the number of holes to be drilled into the facade. This makes installation faster and cleaner but gives a neat way to manage the wiring and maintenance of the sign. Raceway-mounted channel letters are perfect, where a clean look with no compromise in visibility or effect is needed.
