Marquee letter signs feature programmable lighting that makes them versatile and this customer used theirs to create an unforgettable display for trick or treaters!

Front lit channel letters are among the most widely-used lighted signs, radiating brightly from their acrylic faces while their power supplies and wiring remain hidden within.

The Raceway Method

Raceway mounting channel letters offers both an appealing visible appearance and less-invasive installation process. Letters are attached to an aluminum box known as a raceway which houses all power supplies and wiring. Ideally, this raceway should match your building facade’s color; otherwise it could detract from its overall look and should remain hidden to remain undetectable by potential tenants. It’s popular among landlords looking to minimize holes drilled into their buildings while making replacement easier – making this sign suitable for landlords looking to keep costs under control by replacing tenants when their lease runs out or ends!

Mounting each letter directly to a building offers another solution, creating an eye-catching architectural feature while creating multiple non-corrosive bolts and whips that run from each letter/logo through walls to raceways, which may result in 3 – 5 holes per letter and require additional structural reinforcement of your building structure.

Backer panels provide another alternative. A backer panel is a metal cabinet that’s larger in height and width than the letter configuration, saving on installation costs while creating less holes in your building. Plus, its stability makes it a superior option.

One option that we provide is combination front/back lit channel letters. These designs allow light to pass through both the letters’ fronts and out the back, creating an eye-catching lighting effect and increasing nighttime visibility of signs. They can be utilized with either single or dual colors of illumination and are popularly utilized with reverse channel letters.

Front-lit channel letter signs are the go-to choice, providing a beautiful translucent look. Back-lit or halo lighting techniques offer more subtle illumination options that can highlight specific features of your letter/logo design or logo shape – plus, their use can bring attention to any building facade at night!

The Backer Panel Method

Backer panels (also referred to as backer boards or plates) are an optional feature used to improve the appearance of channel letter signs. They consist of flat structures mounted behind letters of the sign that are typically painted a color that highlights it most favorably, usually used with reverse-lit signs but may also be installed for front lit signs.

This mounting method creates more contrast between the sign and building facade, providing greater visual interest in low light conditions. A backer panel may also help mitigate issues caused by certain parts of a building facade which might create glare or reduce exposure of signs.

Backer panels also offer another advantage by concealing power supplies and wiring; often this is required of certain commercial properties. Before investing any time or money on channel letter signage solutions, always consult with your landlord or read through any lease agreements for information regarding sign criteria or signing criteria requirements.

Back-lit or halo lit channel letter signs often feature spacers to create an appealing “floating” effect. As opposed to standard illuminated channel letters which only have their front illuminated, back-lit signs use LEDs behind a translucent backing which helps diffuse their light for an attractive look and diffuse any potential harsh LED glare.

Back-lit signs offer another great way to add an eye-catching custom touch and set themselves apart from their competitors. Engraving or painting one or both faces of the sign with different colors than its acrylic backing adds another level of distinction and helps stand out.

The Open Face Channel Letter Sign

Channel letter signs are an ideal way to increase visibility at night. They attract passersby’s attention and attract more customers for your business. Furthermore, channel letter signs are more durable than other types of signage, standing up against weather and traffic damage more readily and being more energy-efficient than neon or fluorescent lighting, providing your company with an eco-friendly option.

Lightweight yet sturdy materials combine to make them easier to mount and handle, enabling businesses to customize them to their business and achieve optimal results. They can even be formed into shapes to match your storefront for a more professional appearance; there’s even room to include different colors and fonts if you’d like! These signs can promote anything from products or brands, to company names – something else they are popularly used for!

One of the easiest and most reliable methods of mounting signs is using a raceway, which encases each letter and shields their wiring from damage. Raceways can be attached directly to buildings, or concealed behind letters for an unobtrusive appearance.

Mounting signs directly on the front of your building is another method, though more expensive option. This will produce the most eye-catching results; check with local officials for requirements regarding such a system of mounting.

If you want a unique sign that stands out, consider an open face channel letter sign. Constructed of clear acrylic material, these signs allow viewers to see the LED lights inside. As a result, an eye-catching light show illuminates your business and helps it shine above its competitors.

Illuminated channel letters are an effective way of getting your brand noticed in New York, drawing passersby’s attention with personalized advertising that captures passersby. Customizable for your products and services, illuminated channel letters can help draw in more foot traffic to your business resulting in greater revenue over time.

The Aluminum Method

Aluminum channel letters, often referred to as back lit or halo channel letters, are one of the most sought-after types of illuminated signs. Their versatility makes them suitable for creating various looks – ideal for corporate businesses seeking a modern, sophisticated appearance.

This type of sign is crafted out of flat aluminum sheets fabricated through computer-driven bending and shaping equipment, then bent into desired letters or shapes using aluminum raceways welded along its length to house electrical components and lighting, usually LED modules, for easy maintenance and upgrades in the future. According to National Electric Code requirements, such signs require a dedicated 120v/20amp circuit in order to operate.

As another way of personalizing the aluminum method, adding different hues for faces, trim caps and returns gives your signs a distinctive visual aesthetic that draws customers towards them and can help set you apart from competing businesses.

Signs that feature lights are an invaluable investment for any business, from using Aluminum methods to other methods like LED and trim caps & aluminum returns. Customers will often form their initial impression of your company from this initial encounter with your sign; its custom colors for faces, internal LED lights, trim caps & aluminum returns will help shape customer decisions about making purchases or not.

For an eye-catching sign that stands out against others on the street or mall, try opting for signs with both front-lit channels as well as reverse-lit channels using aluminum methods. These signs feature front-lit signs with aluminum sides and trim caps as well as translucent pressure sensitive vinyl to customize its halo with any color of your choosing – creating something truly eye-catching! These signs stand out against similar signage.
