More about Front/Halo Lit Letters
Front/Halo lit channel letter signs are a unique type of signage built with an acrylic faces, front trim cap, aluminum return, polycarbonate back in white or clear, standoffs, and LED modules. These signs can be customized with colored vinyl, digital prints, custom painted backplates, returns, and colored LEDs to create a variety of color combinations and effects.
In certain cases, a Baffle System can be implemented for customers desiring two different color LEDs, one illuminating the front and the other the back. This requires a 5” return and a piece of ACM in the middle of the can to separate the LEDs.
Halo lit signs are versatile and suitable for many environments. However, they are best utilized outdoors due to their high brightness which may be overwhelming indoors. Their exceptional vibrancy makes them ideal for businesses and venues that aim to stand out, such as concert halls and entertainment venues. Nevertheless, any business seeking to make a bold statement can benefit from these signs.
