Material Details
Our reverse-lit channel letters are built for durability. They are comprised of stainless steel faces and returns, paired with clear lexan backplates. They allow light to disperse evenly onto the mounting surface, producing a signature halo effect. For the dual-lit option, we use quality aluminum returns and acrylic faces for optimal illumination.
Illumination
Reverse-lit channel letters are UL-certified for safety. They feature energy-efficient and long-lasting LEDs. The lighting is housed inside the metal letter body. It shines toward the back, casting a glow onto the surface behind.
Mounting
Back-lit channel letters offer flexible installation methods to serve different business needs. The most common option is raceway mounting. It allows efficient installation with minimal wall penetration. Letters are attached to a narrow enclosure that houses the wiring and electrical components. Another option is wireway mounting, which uses a wider box-like structure behind the letters. It offers additional space for wiring while creating a sleek backdrop. Lastly, direct wall mounting secures each letter individually to the building facade. With wiring concealed behind the wall, this ensures a seamless appearance.
