Lighted letter signs convey to customers that you mean business while also creating an upscale image for your company.
There are various illuminated sign options available; among the most popular of which are front and back lit signs.
Front-lit channel letters feature opaque acrylic faces with perforations holes for light to enter; back-lit or halo channel letters have the same design but have their back illuminated to create a halo effect.
Customization
Lighting signage to draw customers in is key to driving sales and cutting energy costs, saving both money and reducing energy use. LEDs are an effective option, but there are other lighting choices available as well.
Illuminated signs come in many different shapes and sizes, from intricately-sculpted luminaries that gleam with light to more subdued designs that stand out more subtly. You have your choice between back-lit and front-lit signs as well as open face and reverse lit designs; or there are even halo-lit designs, featuring gaps between acrylic front panels and light sources which creates an eye-catching halo effect.
Signs made of aluminum typically feature multiple mounting options and can be mounted either from the ceiling or attached directly to your building, making them perfect for storefronts by creating an eye-catching visual display that draws customers’ attention and is highly visible.
Notable about these signs is their use of modern, long-lasting LEDs – more energy-efficient than older forms such as neon, and producing no heat that could cause safety concerns for users.
Your choice of sign will depend on what message you wish to communicate. For instance, you could choose one to highlight the name of your business or a product; even more interestingly, use it as an opportunity to display the logo of your company!
Before selecting a sign, carefully consider its purpose and budget. Also ensure it complies with regulations in your area – for instance, check with local governments about whether your sign can be used for advertising purposes.
Next, decide whether you would like the sign to be back-lit or front-lit – this decision will affect both its size and brightness requirements as well as how well the light works with your branding strategy.
Colors
Sign letters come in many different colors, and choosing the appropriate hues can have a dramatic impact on their visibility. When making this selection, consider factors such as contrast, brand consistency and readability to ensure that they remain legible no matter the lighting conditions under which they’re displayed.
LED illumination has quickly become one of the go-to choices for lighting letters signs, providing versatile color options and being easy to program according to individual needs. LEDs may be more cost effective and energy efficient than other forms of lights while having longer lifespan.
LED channel letters provide another solution for illuminated signage, made with aluminum returns and acrylic faces for optimal durability. Available in many different sizes and fonts, LED channel letters are great way to showcase company names, logos, or text that is meant to draw in pedestrian traffic at night. These signs also make an eye-catching statement!
Front-lit channel letters are among the most prevalent forms of illuminated signage. Their front lights illuminate translucent faces to illuminate each letter or graphic; they can be installed horizontally or vertically and offer clear visibility from afar – making these signs ideal for retail businesses.
Back-lit or reverse-lit channel letters are an elegant form of signage. While more costly than front-lit options, these reverse-lit letters present an elegant aesthetic and are easier to read compared to their front counterparts. Back-lit letters feature transparent back panels which enable LED lights to shine through to form a “halo” around each sign face for easy visibility and readability.
Combination lit channel letters are an aesthetically pleasing form of signage, employing both front and back lighting sources for maximum impact. Utilising aluminium returns on its edges as well as two opal acrylic panels on both the face and back for face lighting, this form of signage is highly durable and resistant to environmental elements – perfect for business interiors as it can also be customized according to brand requirements.
Lights
Marquee letter signs are an elegant way to add some flare and distinction to any event, be it wedding, birthday party or another type. Additionally, marquee letters signs make great way to promote a business because they can be seen from a distance and will help attract more customers.
There are various marquee letter lights on the market today, from those powered by AAA batteries to USB plug-in options. One such battery-powered marquee sign, known as Pooqla Sign, uses an LED system that gives each letter an illuminated glow; additionally it comes equipped with timer and remote controls, making it even more flexible. Other examples that utilize similar LED systems are Obrecis Neon Light Signs and WARMTHOU marquee sign lights; both of these models allow daisy chaining via USB power for even greater versatility and daisy chaining possibilities!
Electronic message centers (EMCs) are another great choice for illuminated signage, drawing attention to your storefront day or night. You can customize these signs with different colors to achieve the perfect look for your business; additionally, these signs are more durable than traditional channel letters and can withstand weather elements more effectively.
LED first-surface lighting is an undisputed winner when it comes to illuminated signage. Not only are these lights much brighter than traditional channel letters and capable of twinkling, they use less energy and save you money on energy costs while looking just as great during the daytime as well!
Lighted signage shows your customers that you take your business seriously and take pride in its product or service quality, and that you are willing to put in extra work to make your business look its best. This can go a long way toward building up positive associations between your business and customers and increasing revenue.
Mounts
Mounts for your lighting letter sign come in many varieties, with raceway mounts being one of the more popular choices. It encloses electrical components while simultaneously minimizing how many holes must be drilled in your building facade and meeting building code more easily – although this style does increase sign costs overall.
Direct or flush mount installation uses non-corrosive studs with recessed pads to attach directly to your building surface, hiding all hardware. This style is popular for backlit channel letters or combinations front/back illuminated channel letters.
Halo illuminated channel letters are an effective way of drawing attention to your business. These signs feature an aluminum return that bends to fit the shape of its face, lit with LED modules, and comes in various thicknesses and finishes to meet all your signage needs. Plus, their lights can even be programmed for additional features and effects!
If you prefer more contemporary decor, a flush mount might be just what’s needed to give your sign an unobtrusive and clean appearance. This mounting method utilizes non-corrosive lugs attached to the facade of your building that are connected with standoff spacers before being attached to your sign via chain or bolt. Although more expensive than alternative mounting methods, flush mounting offers a clean look.
Backer mounts are another common solution for lighting letter signs, installing them behind a flat panel that serves as an indirect frame for them. Painted to match building facade colors for an aesthetically pleasing result, backer panels may also come constructed of various materials like metals or acrylic for easy maintenance and upkeep.
Marquee letter signs can make an excellent addition to your business storefront, with multiple uses ranging from weddings and birthday parties to unique event signage. Front or back illumination options are available and colors should complement the logo or other colors found within your logo or event design scheme.
