| Our channel letter sign is effectively used
for displaying corporate ids. Different LED colors are
used but still red is the most favorite because it is the brightest and
eye catchy. These letters are made of U-shaped channel usually of
metal. Our aluminum constructed channel letters are much better than
steel constructed one as they are lighter and less exposed to damage
factors such as rust. They can be easily installed while mounting in
the walls and ceilings. |
The types of channel letters commonly used
are:
- Standard Channel letter Sign
- Reverse Channel letter Sign
- Channel letters with open
faces
Standard
Channel is made up of U-channel base whereas Reverse channel letters
are made of metal faces and sides of letters have a clear plastic
backing. The faces of the Channel letters with "open" faces are made of
clear plastic while the remaining letters being same as the Standard
letters.
Up
until the last couple years, neon had been the primary 'lighting'
source used in the construction of channel letters. Since
their inception, LEDs have revolutionized the use of electronic message
boards in the sign market place. Today, LEDs are used in
other areas of sign construction as well. The use of LED lighting in
channel letters provides for the following advantages over Neon:
- Easy on-site installation - It Reduces the
weight of the finished product by approximately one-half allowing for
quicker installing of the sign and less 'labor intensive', thereby
saving money in installation costs.
- Outstanding energy efficiency - up to 80% -
saves you money on operational expenses to run the sign.
- Long life - up to 100,000
hours vs. Neon which has an average operating life of 3-5 years - thus
greater reliability.
- More durable when handled thereby reducing
the chances in breakage during shipping and/or when being installed.
- Possible warranty from the
manufacturer in comparison with Neon's 'NO WARRANTY'. Some of the
manufacturers of LED lighting offer 5 year warranties. With
Neon there usually is NONE. The cost for LED lighting is usually very
similar to Neon. So when shopping for Channel Letter signage,
ask about LED lighting
