Led Letters

LED signs are far more than just the typical digital marquees you see scrolling behind the bank teller or flashing in convenience store windows. There are almost limitless signage options using LED letters. Channel letters that use LED lighting, customizable signs that use snap-in LED letters, there is sure to be an option for every need in terms of signs and attention-getters. Customizable signs with snap in LED letters are available as pre-fab kits, or can be ordered and manufactured to fit unique sign needs. Channel letters that use LED lighting are generally made-to-order as part of a complete outdoor sign design.

Led letters help to grab the attention of passers-by, but what exactly are they? First, let us look at the science behind LED lighting. LED stands for light-emitting diode. Colored light, based on materials used, is emitted as an electric current is passed through. LED letters, unlike signs lit by traditional bulbs, display a more pure color due to the fewer frequencies of light emitted as electricity passes through the diode. LED letters, therefore, last longer than letters using elements that are more traditional. Additionally, LED letters provide for signs with more vibrant colors, allowing clearer images at further distances.

In terms of sign design choices, the use of LED letters will depend on what business owners hope to achieve with their signs. If they want to emblazon their building lighted text or company logos, channel letters with LED lighting is an appropriate choice. However, if a business owner wished to call attention to sales, weekly specials, or other promotional activities that change periodically, perhaps customizable signs with snap-in LED letters are a better choice. These signs can be seen from a further distance that digital LED marquees, as the letters are often larger and stationary.

Whatever your signage needs, make sure your LED letters are intended for the purpose you need. There are both indoor and outdoor options available for LED signs. The construction involved in these signs varies. Outdoor LED signs will require protection from the elements and therefore are often watertight. Indoor sign construction does not take exposure to the elements into account. As such, the LED letters will suffer damage and likely malfunction if used for outdoor applications. Follow manufacturer’s instruction or your sign maker’s advice for using your choice of LED LETTERS. They are the best source to ensure your sign option choices meet their intended usage.
