Introduction to Channel Letter Signs
Channel letter signs are a great way for any business to make a bold, eye-catching statement. These three-dimensional letters are not only attractive but can be customized to match your brand. Here is a quick look at the lighting and mounting options for these cool signs.
Front-lit Channel Letters
A front-lit sign uses LEDs to illuminate individual letters from the inside, illuminating the translucent face. Such a sign is ideal for any business open at night.
Reverse Lit Channel Letters
Also known as halo-lit, reverse-lit signs have light shine from the back of the letter leaving a subtle halo effect on the mounting surface.
Open-Face Channel Letters
Open-face channel letters have exposed lighting in the front, showing neon or LED. The exposed lighting has been known to give a retro feel, which is great for businesses looking for a vintage or industrial appearance.
Combo-Lit Channel Letters
Combo-lit channel letters offer both front-lit and reverse-lit options by lighting up the face while making the halo against the mounting surface.
Channel Letter Signs Mounting Options
Proper mounting of a sign channel letter can also greatly impact its effectiveness. BeBold Sign Studio offers a wide range of mounting options to best showcase your sign in tandem with your building's architectural features and in compliance with local zoning laws.
- Raceway Mount: A raceway mount is where the channel letters are mounted into a rectangular structure that has all the electrical components of the sign as well. This is less invasive to the surface of the building because it necessitates fewer drill holes. More often, landlords prefer this because of the easy nature of the installation and of not shining any new holes in the face of their building.
- Flush Mount: This mounting style is best for a clean, integrated look. The letters are attached directly to the building's surface. It is more labor-intensive and requires precise building installation, but it can make some great-looking signs, which many people prefer.
- Backer Mount: A backer mount, or standoff mounting, enables the letters to be installed on a panel or box that is removed from the wall. This creates depth and shadow that add to the visual effect of your sign. These installations allow for the creative possibility of striking back-lighting effects, particularly in low-light conditions.
