Types of Channel Letters
Let’s take a look at the broad range of channel letter signage options:
Standard Front-Lit Channel Letter Signs – The most requested channel letter signs in San Marcos are front-lit channel letters. High gauge aluminum is used in the design of these letters that are routed into shape with deep returns and smoothly welded edges. Aluminum is used because it is resistant to rusting and long lasting.
Reverse-Lit Channel Letter Signs – Commonly referred to as halo-lit channel letter signs, these letters are made almost entirely out of aluminum with an open back through which the light can shine creating a halo effect on the wall they are mounted to.
Back-Lit Channel Letter Signs – When you cross reverse-lit letters with standard letters, you get back-lit channel letters. There is a light coming out of the back of the letter to create a halo on the exterior of your building. Also, light in shining through the acrylic faces of these letters.
Open Face Lit Channel Letter Signs – It is a bit misleading to refer to these letters as “open face.” They do have an acrylic face. However, it is optically clear, which makes it look as if the illumination source is exposed. This creates a distinguished effect after dark.
There are a variety of ways to illuminate channel letters. LEDs are the most popular because they are energy-efficient and low maintenance. Neon is also commonly used because it produces a warm glow that catches the eye. Non-illuminated channel letter signs are also available.
