Choose Your Sign Lighting…
Selecting the right lighting is the first step in designing stunning channel letter signs. There are four different light options, each having a unique impact on the way your signage illuminates. Choose from:
Front Lit – Front or Face lit channel letters are the industry standard, featuring aluminum sides and backs with a colored acrylic face. The lighting sits from within the signage using either LEDs or neon, for a crisp brightness.
Reverse Lit – Less common than front lit, reverse lit signs is another popular option. The signs’ aluminum faces push the light out from the clear backs, emitting a halo-like illumination that creates a warm effect.
Front/Back Lit – For a dramatic, crisp look, you’ll want to go with front/back lit letters. As the name would suggest, these signs illuminate from both the front and the back, giving them a dynamic appearance that’s sure to stand out.
Open Face – In the right setting, open face signage can have a spectacular impact. Outfitted with aluminum framing with no face covering, this style of signage is undoubtedly eye-catching but has a thinner return.
Select Your Mounting Option…
Once you’ve chosen your lighting, it’s time to decide on the right mounting option:
Raceway Mount – We’ll attach your sign to a narrow aluminum box that spans the width of your signage. The electrical components are housed in the box, allowing for easier installation.
Direct Mount – Just as it sounds, a direct mount involves installing signage directly onto the surface of the building. Wiring is pushed through an interior cavity in the building, making installation slightly more time-consuming.
