Signage & Display
LED channel letters
Individually fabricated illuminated 3D letters. The classic glowing storefront and building sign.
“A permanent investment. Most of the cost is permits and install.”
Good to know
- This is a capital investment, not a sign you 'try out.' Most of the cost and the timeline is permits, electrical, and install, not the letters themselves.
What it is
Custom-built dimensional letters with internal LEDs, mounted to a building face or a raceway. Front-lit letters glow through the face. Halo (reverse-lit) letters wash light onto the wall behind. Combo does both.
Choose it when
You want a permanent, illuminated exterior brand sign. Front-lit reads bold for retail, halo-lit gives a premium architectural glow.
Strengths
- Reads day and night
- Premium, permanent brand presence
- Long-lived LED illumination
Watch-outs
- – Professional install with electrical work and permits
- – Higher cost and lead time
- – Not portable or DIY
Not the right call for: Temporary or budget signage · Interior-only quick displays

Questions people ask
Do I need a permit?
Almost always. Illuminated exterior signage involves electrical and zoning permits. That's part of why it's a professional, multi-week project.
Front-lit or halo-lit?
Front-lit glows through the face (bold, retail). Halo-lit washes light onto the wall behind (premium, architectural). Combo does both.
Can I install it myself?
No. It's professional electrical work, often at height, with inspections.
