Lighting letters signs are an effective way to draw customers in while increasing brand recognition, plus they consume less energy than neon or fluorescent signs.
There are multiple methods of mounting signs, such as raceway mounting and direct or flush mounting, which help minimize the number of holes drilled into building facades.
LED Lights
LED lights have become an increasingly popular choice for lighting letters signs and other business signage. Their smaller, more durable bulbs use less energy while lasting longer compared to traditional bulbs – meaning you won’t have to replace them as often. LEDs make an excellent way to both purchase new signs or reduce electricity bills simultaneously.
LED lights come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors – some are even remote controllable – providing you with plenty of customization options when it comes to the look and functionality of your sign. Whatever type of LED light you select, it’s essential that you understand their basic operation – starting by determining the size of your bulb (by inspecting its markings or looking up images online of different bulbs like A19 bulbs vs PAR20 bulbs etc). For instance an A19 has a diameter of 19/8 inches while PAR20 bulbs measure 20/8 inches diameters respectively compared to their A19 counterparts!
For optimal signs, the ideal LEDs should be UL listed and match the same wattage of your current sign, which allows it to work seamlessly with existing wiring and transformer systems while saving money on installation costs. Furthermore, these high-grade lights are rated to withstand extreme temperature variations as well as have long lifespans.
LED lights come in several varieties, from embedded ones that blend in seamlessly to modern and stylish options that can add visual interest. Recessed lights can also be angled to highlight logos or attract potential customers’ interest more effectively.
Halo-lit signs use LED or neon lighting to illuminate each element of a sign from behind, creating an eye-catching and unique effect that helps set you apart from competitors. Furthermore, their increased visibility in low light environments make halo-lit signs an excellent way to increase brand visibility for businesses looking to boost visibility.
Aluminum
Aluminum is an easy and lightweight metal to work with, offering fade resistant vibrant color options with high quality catalyst paints. Furthermore, its malleable qualities allow it to be formed into various shapes and dimensions – qualities which make aluminum suitable for channel letter signs that illuminate their letters or shapes.
Aluminum has long been utilized by humans, with ancient Egyptian pottery using aluminum oxide as well as ceramic glazes featuring aluminum oxide. Hans Christian Oersted first isolated an impure form of the metal during the 1800s; Friedrich Wohler then created its pure form in 1827. Aluminum metal is one of the lightest yet strongest materials ever developed, boasting almost three times less weight than iron while providing good electrical conductivity as well as being easily alloyable with most metals.
Channel letter signs come with either illuminated or non-illuminated options and various depths. Depth refers to the distance from front of letter to back (typically three inches); return material often differs from face material for increased customization and increased readability.
Most commercial businesses employ illuminated channel letter signs as an effective way to promote their brand and attract potential clients both daytime and nighttime. These custom fabricated signs typically made of aluminum and acrylic materials and lit with LED or Neon lighting are most often found outside large buildings but can also be integrated into smaller storefront windows.
Illuminated channel letter signs can be tailored to meet any branding need you might have, including font size, stroke thickness and depth, font type, return and trim cap colors, sign face colors and mounting arrangements – each factor may have an impactful influence on pricing of a sign. Gemini can assist in finding the ideal type of sign to match your branding strategy while being visible both day and night.
Aluminum is the go-to material for signs, as its durability and versatility make it the ideal material. Aluminum’s easy working properties allow it to be bent or shaped into different forms using computerized bend and shaping machines; furthermore, its flexible nature means it will conform easily to any curvatures in a building’s structure.
Customization
Letter signs can help your brand stand out, both day and night. Not only are they visible from far away, they also encourage people to visit your business. Customization options make letter signs an economical solution no matter the size or scope of your operation.
There are various types of channel letters, including front-lit and back-lit options. Front-lit signs feature translucent faces which allow LED lighting to illuminate them; these signs are extremely bright, visible from long distances, durable, and require little maintenance.
Back-lit letter signs offer another option with their open back design, permitting LED lights to illuminate both their faces and walls behind. These can be found both indoors and outdoors.
Back-lit letters can be customized with various fonts and sizes to give them a distinctive appearance, often even creating the look of neon lights – which has become extremely popular in retail environments. At EZM SIGN, our sign makers can help create custom letters designed to attract more customers to your business.
Channel letter signs can be an invaluable way to promote any business – from large shopping malls to local mom-and-pop shops. Being highly visible, easily read and standout among their competitors, channel letter signs can boost walk-in traffic while increasing customer satisfaction.
When designing a letter sign, selecting the proper colors and fonts are of utmost importance to creating something clear, attractive, yet professional. Furthermore, its location must also be taken into account – placing too close to competitors may result in less visible signage.
When selecting a signage company, look for one with an experienced and knowledgeable team. A reputable firm will give an honest assessment and recommend the ideal sign according to both budget and level of customization needed.
