Types of Channel Letter Signs
There is a wide variety of channel letters to pick from. These are some of the most requested:
Standard Channel Letters – Also referred to as front-lit channel letters, these markers are the most popular type of channel letter sign in New Providence. The aluminum letter cans have smoothly welded edges and deep returns. They are routed into whatever shape you want. We like to use aluminum because it is heavy duty and rust resistant.
Open Face Channel Letters – Do not worry: these channel letters do not actually have an open face. They get their name from the optically clear acrylic faces they have that allow viewers to see the lighting source inside. At night, this creates a sophisticated look.
Halo-Lit Channel Letters – Commonly known as reverse-lit channel letters, they get their name from the halo effect created from the light shining out of the back of the letter. The rest of the letter, including the face, is made of aluminum.
Back-Lit Channel Letters – You get back-lit channel letter signs when you cross front-lit channel letters with halo-lit channel letters. They produce a halo on the façade of your venue from the light shining out of the back of the letters. Plus, there is light shining through the acrylic faces of these signs.
Channel letter signs are illuminated using a couple lighting options. Since they are low maintenance and energy-efficient, LEDs are a favorite. Neon produces a warm glow that grabs attention, yet it can be affected by extreme temperatures. Or, you can choose to have no illumination source at all and go with non-illuminated channel letters.
