When illuminated they are one of the most powerful driving forces in attracting business during the day as well as late into the evening. There are multiple style types out there. Here is a quick guide to help choose what is best for you.
Lightbox Signs
These type of signs are also known as illuminated cans or cabinet signs. Lightbox signs are generally the most economical illuminated sign option. Made with an aluminum box casing and faced with polycarbonate and translucent vinyl. Can be fancied up by contouring your logo shape.
Channel Letters
Channel Letters are individual mounted letters. There are a few Illumination and install methods for this type of storefront sign. They can be directly mounted to your building. To reduce labor costs and holes in your building you can put them on a bar called a raceway. Channel Letters can be illuminated in the front or back (halo-lit) with multiple different color LEDs to give off different effects.
Push Through
This variation of the illuminated can sign brings a bit more class than the basic lightbox. Built by creating an aluminum box. Then, routing out the lettering or logo to push through an acrylic that creates a dimension. This option also works best when needing to illuminate thin text.
