Front-Lit Channel Letters
These are the standard type for channel signs. Front-lit letters have an acrylic front face and aluminum backing and sides. These signs have LED lights installed within each letter, illuminating the sign from within.
These three-dimensional signs are highly customizable. Each letter or character can be made to match your specific design. With the front face lit, this makes each element clear and prominent. As a result, front-lit channel letters are easy to read, even from a distance.
Halo-Lit Channel Letters
Just like front-lit letters, these are also 3D signs. However, instead of being illuminated from within, LED lights are installed at the back of each letter or character customized logo. They are also mounted inches away from the wall or back panel.
What this does is create a glow, or “halo” effect around the letters or characters logo of the sign. This leaves the sign’s front face dark, especially at night. This effect of the aluminum or acrylic channel letters can be installed indoors making your business even harder to miss and more eye-catching.
Front-Lit/Reverse Channel Letters
When you want a bright and vibrant sign, these are an excellent choice. As the name suggests, these signs are a combination of front-lit and halo-lit channel letters. This means they are illuminated from within as well as from behind each letter or character.
These are perfect when you want added visibility. They shine brightly from day to night.
Open-Faced Channel Letters
As the name suggests, these signs have an open front face. With no acrylic or aluminum covering the front, it leaves the LED lights exposed inside. The returns or sides are also left shorter, giving the LEDs more visibility. This results in an effect that’s attractive and bright.
These signs are the best choice for businesses that are open at night. They leave a more dramatic, vintage look. This is perfect for restaurants, bars, movie theaters, and the like. Open-faced channel letters are the best when you want extended nighttime visibility.
