Side Lit Channel Letters Edge Lit Illuminated Letters Sign Manufacturer

Product Description of Side Lit Channel Letters

The material of Side Lit Channel Letters returns is acrylic, which is especially bent around the letter shape. Besides, the front face can stick special color vinyl or mirror stainless steel to reach a more gloss looks. This Type of Channel Letter Design is the most popular throughout places in Europe and Japan at high-end boutiques.

While most common Illuminated Sign Letters are illuminated for the front view, Side Lit Channel Letters are uniquely made so that light shines not only through the front (or the face) but also through the sides. Thus, the difference is an all-around 360-degree glow which enhances the appearance of the Illuminated Signage Letters and also gives it a sophisticated look.

The trick is that Face Lit Letters are made from aluminum that is easily manufactured to create your desired look. Yet, Edge Lit Letters are made from acrylic, Lexan which is specially bent and bonded making it a little more expensive. But, even then, you’re left with a futuristic, attention-grabbing piece of art that illuminates your company’s name in the most elegant way.

Side illuminated LED Acrylic Letter creates backlight effect, it does not require off-wall mounting and prevents the appearance of LED light spots on the wall is an eye-catching lighting style.

Depth is only 30mm, it is highly recommended for in-shop and outdoor signage.

Mounting Side Lit Channel Letters

You can choose to have your channel letters mounted on:

A raceway. This rectangular structure is typically made of aluminum. It conceals and protects the electrical components of the channel letter.

A wireway or backer mount is another mounting structure that generally contains wiring only. It is thinner and broader than a raceway. It can also be used as a backer panel for the channel letters.

Direct/Flush mounting of channel letters is when they are directly attached to the building surface.

Mounting Options

Once the sign is constructed and assembled, it is time to mount the channel letters to your building. There are several different options to consider depending on your property management’s rules and limitations, as well as what would look best. We outline some of the mounting choices below and the benefits of each.

• Raceway Mount – One option for mounting channel letters is with a raceway mount. This particular mount involves installing the sign on a metal box that is used to house the electrical wiring and power supply. Many property owners require that the raceway mount be used as opposed to the other mounting options because it limits the number of wall penetrations made during installation.
• Direct Mount or Flush Mount – A direct mount is just as it sounds. The signage is attached directly to the building instead of a metal box and the power source and wiring are housed behind the wall or façade. This mounting type is ideal if a streamlined appearance is important to you when installing the signage.
• Backer Mount – The backer mount and raceway mount are similar as they both require the signage to be installed on something other than the building wall itself expect while the raceway mount is mounted on a metal box, the backer mount is attached to a metal cabinet or panel that is larger than the channel letters.

The Process of Side Lit Channel Letters

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

Channel Letters

Channel letter signs presently are the top choice for commercial signage and are our bread and butter.

Highly versatile, channel letters can be created from standard styles or completely custom-designed to suit your client’s request. They can be used for internal or external storefronts and may be mounted directly to a building or on a metal “raceway” structure that can mount to a building with connection points. Whatever style you choose, US Signs and Letters will fabricate a quality illuminated or non-illuminated sign that makes your mark!

Whether standard or custom fabricated, our channel letters are individually created, dimensional letters. Each letter is separate and formed of separate aluminum “channel” enclosures that can house LED or another lighting to form an illuminated sign. The sides of the channels or “returns” can be of depths from 2″ to 10″ with the outsides painted to match the face or in a contrasting color. The front or “face” of some styles of channel letter signs are acrylic and provide a wide variety of color choices to work with your clients’ logos, branding, and specific site.

IDS Signs and Letters wholesale channel letters come in six basic styles:

• Front Lit Channel Letters – these are the most common type of channel letter type also sometimes called “standard” channel letters. As the name implies, these signs emit illumination only from the front [face] of the letters. They can be used in both shopping malls and outdoor plazas. These can be either raceway or flush-mounted. We can produce this letter type in many different font and color combinations.
• Reverse Lit Channel Letters – illuminated with LED, they provide a backlit halo effect.
• Front & Back Lit Channel Letters – they are a combination of regular and reverse channel letters. This product glows through the front and gives a halo effect on the back. These letters may be illuminated with one or two colors to give the desired effect. Just as with standard reverse channel letters, front/back lit letters have a clear polycarbonate back to prevent animals from nesting inside the letter.
• Non-Illuminated Channel Letters
• Side Lit Channel Letters
• Open Face Channel Letters
