Need a sign for your business to draw attention and attract more customers? Channel letter signs are a popular, value-based choice. Channel letters are large individual 3D letters, illuminated or non-illuminated, and typically installed outdoors, to create a sign that stands out. Front Lit Channel Letter Signs As the name suggests, front lit channel letters are illuminated from the front. The sign face is made of translucent acrylic material lit with LEDs. Front lit channel letters offer a sleek and modern look while providing excellent illumination. Backlit / Halo Lit Channel Letter Signs Backlit channel letters or Halo Lit channel letters are illuminated from behind the sign faces. LED bulbs project behind the letters and onto the surface where they are mounted, creating a bright and evenly lit halo effect. Backlit channel letters are visible during the daytime as well but make their most profound impact at night. Non-Illuminated Channel Letter Signs If your sign will be installed indoors or in a well-lit area, non-illuminated channel letters may be the best option. Non-lit letters are less expensive than illuminated letters and require less maintenance. Mounting Types for Channel Letter Signs

• Flush Mounted - Channel letters are mounted directly to the wall surface. This is the most common type of mount for front lit signs.
• Raceway Mounted - Channel letters are mounted on a horizontal metal box called a raceway. This is a popular choice among businesses leasing their space as it requires fewer holes to be drilled into the building.
• Backer Mounted - Channel letters are mounted on a vertical metal panel called a backer. This option is often used for backlit signs as it provides space behind the letters which allow for the illumination to bleed around the edges of the letters and create a halo effect.

The type of mount you choose will depend on the look you want for your sign and the space available. Also, make sure you check with the buildings' owners to know what options they allow for signs.
