About Back-lit Metal Channel Letters

Sample case

Back-lit Metal Channel Letters
  • Back-lit metal channel letters require a power source so that the LED light source can provide good light. Although solar energy and wind energy are used by more and more users due to their green characteristics, when used as power sources for illuminated signs, these green energy sources need to be matched with energy storage batteries to ensure the stability of the current. Therefore, the stability and cost of this kind of power supply will all be worse than the mains power. Therefore, we recommend using mains power. Whether it is civilian AC or industrial AC, it will be more stable.
  • The vast majority of LEDs are driven by safe 12V DC power. Therefore, if the mains power is used as the power supply, the AC transformer is required to convert the AC power into the 12V DC power required for LED operation. Therefore, it is recommended that before purchasing, you first understand the voltage of the AC power at the place where the backlit metal channel letters will be installed, so that we can provide you with a suitable AC transformer.
  • In order to reduce line loss, we recommend that the length of the wire from the signage to the AC transformer be controlled to 3 meters (about 118 inches), otherwise the LED may not fully emit light due to excessive current loss.
  • The AC transformer will generate heat when working, it is recommended that the AC transformer be placed in a place with good heat dissipation. If the AC transformer cannot dissipate heat smoothly, the service life of the transformer will be seriously affected.
  • The installation of back-lit metal channel letters usually requires drilling holes in the wall, so it is recommended that you confirm with the landlord what restrictions there are on drilling holes before purchasing.
  • Some cities, communities and landlords have certain restrictions on the brightness and color temperature of illuminated signs, so it is recommended that you understand these restrictions before purchasing.

  • Can be used indoors or outdoors.

Description

Backlit metal channel letters represent a refined and contemporary approach to business signage. These letters are crafted from high-quality metals, such as aluminum or stainless steel, and are designed to stand out from the mounting surface, creating a three-dimensional effect. The defining feature of these signs is the backlighting, typically provided by energy-efficient LED lights, which illuminates from behind the letters. This creates a soft, ambient glow around each character, known as the halo effect, lending a sophisticated and upscale appearance to the signage. The construction of backlit metal channel letters is tailored for durability and visual impact, ensuring that they not only attract attention but also withstand the test of time and weather.

Function and Importance

The display effect of backlit metal channel letters is characterized by their distinctive and elegant illumination. The halo lighting around each letter provides a subtle yet captivating glow, enhancing the sign's visibility and legibility, especially in low-light conditions. This form of lighting adds depth and dimension to the signage, making it more visually appealing and noticeable from a distance. The metal construction adds a sleek, modern look that can be customized in various finishes, including brushed, polished, or painted, to match any business's branding and architectural style.

The functionality of backlit metal channel letters extends beyond their aesthetic appeal. These signs serve as a powerful branding and marketing tool for businesses. They are particularly effective in increasing brand recognition and drawing in potential customers. The illuminated aspect ensures that the business name and logo are prominently displayed at all times, making them ideal for businesses that operate after dark or are located in areas with limited ambient lighting. Additionally, the customizability of these signs allows businesses to accurately convey their brand identity, making them an integral part of any effective branding strategy.

In essence, backlit metal channel letters offer a perfect blend of style, visibility, and durability. They provide businesses with an impactful way to showcase their brand, attract attention, and create a lasting impression on customers and passersby. Whether for a retail storefront, a corporate building, or a hospitality venue, these signs are a testament to a business's commitment to quality and professionalism.

Visible Distance and Recognition

When you set up fascia signs for your business, building, store, etc., you definitely want the sign to have very good visual distance and recognition, so that your customers can see your store from a long distance. Although navigation is becoming more and more developed, it still cannot replace the visual recognition effect provided by signage.

Usually

  • For signage with thin strokes, their visual distance and recognition will be affected.
  • Bigger signs have better viewing distance and recognition.
  • When the environment is relatively dark, the visual distance and recognition of illuminated signs are better than those of non-illuminated signs.

Many factors such as the finish of the sign, the color contrast between the sign and the installation location, the intensity of light at the location of the sign, etc. will affect the viewing distance of the sign. If you need a suggestion, then as a rule of thumb, the viewing distance of a sign is approximately about 120 times the height of the sign. For example, a 1-inch-tall sign can be seen with good recognition from a distance of about 10 feet.

Installation

Most of the installation methods of backlit metal channel letters are flush mount, off-wall mount or raceway mount, using stud bolts to install the signs on the wall.

  • Flush Mount: This installation method uses stud bolts and is installed separately on the building facade using the mounting holes. The wires used to power the lighting are fished out of the wire holes and mounted behind the wall so light source maintenance can be easily done from behind. Typically, each individual illuminated sign part has 2-3 stud bolts and 1 wire, so 3-4 holes need to be drilled in the wall for this. Obviously, this installation method will increase the installation workload, but since the wires and stud bolts are buried in the wall, the installed signs will be sleek and sophisticated.
  • Off-wall Mount: The only difference between this installation method and flush mount is that the sign is away from the backing wall, and spacers are used to ensure that each part is at the same distance from the wall.
  • Raceway Mount: In this installation method, the sign is first mounted on a slender metal mounting structure called a “raceway”, usually made of aluminum or stainless steel, and then the raceway and signs are mounted on the wall as a whole. The interior of these mounting structures can be used to house electrical wiring and AC transformers. The advantage of this type of installation method is that it has fewer holes need to be drilled, which can be an important consideration for building owners or landlords, and it also makes it easier to install and renew the signage, while creating an off-wall visual for the sign, so the three-dimensionality will be better. However, due to the existence of the “raceway”, the integrity of the sign and installation wall will be weakened.

To ensure your signage is installed correctly for optimal display and longevity, we recommend hiring professional installers. We will provide a 1:1 layout template to show the hole positions of stud bolts and wires, the installer will drill holes on the wall according to these hole positions. If it is an illuminated sign, the wiring work of the wires needs to be completed. We will provide installation instructions, wiring diagram and necessary installation accessories to help your installers complete the installation correctly and quickly. If you are unable to find the professional installers, please let us know and we will put you in touch with one of our partners to find good installers for you.

Maintain

Fascia signs are generally installed at a high location and may not be accessible without a lift machine or scaffolding, so routine maintenance is basically difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase high-quality signs and hire professional installers to install them. High-quality signs that are installed correctly can significantly reduce the possibility of sign failure.

In fact, the maintenance of backlit metal channel letters is very simple. Just need to wipe the surface of the sign with a soft cloth moistened with clean fresh water. Never use liquids containing organic cleaning agents to wipe the sign, as such cleaning fluids may cause irreversible damage to the exterior finish of the sign.
