Channel letters are a type of sign that involves individually cut pieces that come together to form a business name, for example. Most often, channel letter signs are lit up internally with LED bulbs. Standard channel letters are front-lit, meaning the lights are visible through the sign face.

Backlit LED channel letters (also called reverse lit, halo-lit, rear illuminated, or reverse pan channel letters) are the opposite. The light shines out the back. This means that they are mounted slightly away from the wall of the building so that the light can shine through and illuminated around the letters, creating a halo of light.

Design

Since the Halo Lit Letters and Logos are illuminated only around the edges, consideration should be allowed for how graphics will be seen when lit. Multicolor graphics on faces may need special attention such as a combination of Face Lit and Halo Lit.

Installation

Standard Halo Lit Letters are built to be mounted directly to your storefront. Electrical connection penetrates the wall behind each letter. This allows letters to light the wall behind it.

Wall color and texture must be considered when determining how the Halo will appear.

Raceway installation is possible if letters have an outline to reflect light behind letters. The outline can also be used if the mounting surface is unsatisfactory for light reflection.

This entire product is weather and rust proof for exterior installation.

Custom Backlit Logo Letters Signs

Custom Backlit Logo Signs have the LED module mounted to the back of each letter allowing lights to glow around each letter providing a “halo” effect. Custom Backlit Signs are typically made using flat cut materials like acrylic and are raised off the wall on special clear and metal mounts. The acrylic is sometimes finished with a metal face with painted silver edges to match.

The Custom LED Backlit Signs draw attention and increases the visual impact of Exterior Wall Mounted Signs for clients visiting your office, building, or shop. While Sign Backlighting is a great way to help your sign stand out from the wall, especially in poorly lit areas, only certain signs with large enough letters or bold font may apply for illumination. Custom Illuminated Signs must allow enough space on the back to hide LED modules without running into difficulty.

Low Profile Halo Lit Letters

Dimensional acrylic letters with LED illumination inside the letters. The light from the LEDs projects from the back of the letters creating a Halo of light on the wall. Letters have a painted finish and non-lit graphics applied to the face.

The glow of the halo is determined by the color of the LEDs inside the letter.

Reverse Channel Letters Benefits

Front faces of Halo Channel Letters (Reverse Lit) are covered with aluminum to allow light to spill only from the edges and backs of each letter, producing the effect of a dark letter against a lighted backdrop. Letters are mounted with a 1-2” gap between the building façade and the back of each letter so that, when illuminated, the light creates a “halo effect” around each letter’s shape.

Key Benefits

• Letter backs are covered with polycarbonate to prevent birds and insects from nesting inside the letter;
• The letter is circled by light creating a radiant, dramatic effect that is sophisticated, elegant, and unique;
• Halo letters come alive at night and produce a dazzling glow.

Reverse Channel Letters Are Used By Clients Who Want An Impactful and Classy Look For Their Signage

Often called “halo” or “backlit” letters, reverse lit channel letter signs are mounted away from the wall, causing the light to form a halo effect behind the sign. The distance from the sign to the wall they’re mounted on enables the halo of illumination around each individual character, helping the reverse lit channel letters to stand out.

Instead of acrylic, reverse channel letters have a metal face. They’re also fitted with aluminum letters. Reverse lit channel letters typically have clear Lexan or polycarbonate backs.

Internally Lit Reverse Pan Channel Letters Make Great Business Signs

The illumination is from the rear of the letter giving it a “Halo” look at night. This is a very sophisticated look vs. traditional channel letter applications.

During the day the backlit channel letters’ solid color and a seamless design give a more traditional look.

LED illumination allows for the stroke or thickness of the letter to be very thin vs. traditional channel letters.

One of the things to keep in mind with reverse channel letters is they tend to cost significantly more than standard front lit channel letter designs. This is due to the complexity of fabrication used to produce the letter. The letter’s face and returns (sides of the letter) are all metal. The components providing illumination of the letter are inside the walls and center of the letter. When using reverse lit channel letters remember to make sure the backside of the letter is enclosed with Lexan or acrylic backing. This keeps the elements as well as birds from nesting inside the letter.

Another advantage of LED channel letters is they only require one penetration through the wall for each individual letter. The penetration is only about 1/8″, vs. two 3/4″ holes required for the old neon technology. This is also a significant advantage for property managers, due to the fact that taking down this type of installation is less intrusive than neon. Patching a small hole vs. two large holes does less damage to the building and looks a lot nicer after the removal of the sign is complete.

How To Make A Lighted Sign With Plexiglass

How Our Reverse Lit Channel Signs Are Made? To ensure the quality of our halo lit channel letter signs, our letters are UL listed, and we use only high-quality materials to produce your sign.

• 1. The metal sheet is cut by a computer-controlled laser machine based on vector design files(.cdr/.eps/.ai/.scv, etc), this creates the back case and trim border of the channel
• 2. The returns are welded at trim by bending a 2-3 inch wide (50–80 mm) metal strip to form the 3D letter shape. The trim and returns can be painted colors base on PMS.
• 3. A translucent acrylic face is cut to fit inside the letter shape.
• 4. Waterproof LED modules are installed on the back bottom case and screwed with the letter shape.
• 5. When illuminated at night, channel letters draw the eyes of passers-by.

3D Backlit Logo Installation 

Signage With Backlight requires a separate wire to supply power to each letter. This wire is pulled into the wall and connected either at the other side of the wall or in the ceiling. The wires are relatively thin and easily connected to a power adapter. The power adapter is similar to a phone charger that simply plugs into a regular 110v power outlet.

If dragging the cable into the other side of the wall or ceiling isn’t possible, you can also drag the wire near a socket on the same side of the wall. This allows you to hide the cables from running along the wall and closer to the power source. Once the individual wires for each letter are connected together, there is only one cable left to be plugged into the power adapter to plug it into an outlet.

Depending on how the wall is structured beneath the drywall, dragging the cables in this way may or may not be possible. It is important to check with building management or the construction company that constructed the space to see what type of structure lies hidden beneath the drywall. This will ensure a smooth final installation.

Anatomy of a Channel Letter

Red is typically the least expensive.

Our illuminated exterior panel signs are available in a wide variety of options including:

Non-Illuminated Fabricated Aluminum Panel Sign With Raised Metal Letters

If you don’t need lighting, cut (link to cut metal letters) or fabricated stainless steel letters (link to page) are mechanically assembled to the panel using spacers to float the letters to the panel. The letters cast a shadow on the panel for added dimension and depth.

Reverse Cut Out Panel

Similar to our other fabricated panels, this option features letters cut out of the face and a translucent acrylic backer in your colors. Low voltage LEDs assembled inside the light up the cut-out letters. The maximum size for a single piece is 3.5’ x 10’. This is our most cost-effective exterior lighted sign.

Reverse Cut, Push-Through Acrylic Letters

For an added dimensional effect, the letters and logo can be cut out of the face, and then raised acrylic letters to push through the face. It’s completed with a translucent acrylic backer in your colors. Low voltage LEDs assembled inside the light up the push-thru acrylic letters. The maximum size for a single piece is 3.5’ x 10’.

Fabricated Stainless Steel, Backlit Letters

Fabricated stainless steel letters are assembled to float off the panel. They have Lexan backs and LED lights assembled inside for a sophisticated halo effect backlighting onto the panel. The maximum size for a single piece is 3.5’ x 10’.

Fabricated Stainless Steel, Front, and Backlit Letters

Like the backlit option above, these signs also have an acrylic translucent illuminated face in addition to the halo backlighting for a bright, stunning effect. The maximum size for a single piece is 3.5’ x 10’.
