Special Effects - Channel Letter Backlights
When channel letters are placed on a raceway, or have a backplate Signs Manufacturing™ can enhance the visibility of your sign to your customers with the use of Backlights.
We place illumination, neon or LED, between the channel letters and the wall to cause the wall to light, drawing the eye to your sign, and adding dimensional depth to channel letters at night.
Single-color, multi-color, or color-changing.
Some of this can be done quite inexpensively, but in all cases your sign will stand out from your neighbors'.
We will discuss these options with you when we design your sign.
Click on the "Neon" and "Spectralites™ and LED" tabs one page up ("Lighting Choices") to learn about the differences in these lighting options.
Please stop by and see all of these products displayed in our unique Sign Lighting Laboratory and Display Showroom.
Different LEDs for Different Uses
Every individual LED bulb is designed for a specific purpose. As an example, the design of an LED for a flashlight is different from a LED designed for an LED electronic sign. One is designed to focus all light straight ahead, the other to disperse its light evenly in all forward directions.
Significantly, almost all LEDs are not designed to meet a strict color-match. Most back-lighting LEDs are designed to light a colored plastic.
Did you know that an LED that is superior at lighting channel letters with plastic faces is not the best choice to light a channel letter or sign cabinet with translucent vinyl or digitally printed graphics on a plastic or flexible sign face; or for creating the halo around a reverse-channel letter?
Most sign companies do not know this. In fact, the wholesale suppliers that supply virtually all sign companies do not even carry use-targeted LED products. For them, it’s “…one size fits all…"
We use SolarBrite ™ Color-Correct™ LEDs which are specifically designed for these use-targeted applications. Their light output has a color-corrected wave length; superior for lighting translucent colors from behind.
We always use the proper LED to give our customers the best sign possible…Guaranteed.
