FRONT & BACK LIT CHANNEL LETTERS & LOGO SIGNS

Front & Back Lit signs are advanced illuminated signage that combines two lighting techniques in one striking display. Powerful LEDs illuminate the front face of each letter or logo element directly, creating a vibrant, bold appearance. Additional LEDs positioned behind the sign create a soft, glowing halo effect. This dual illumination provides maximum visibility and impact, ensuring your brand stands out prominently both day and night with a sophisticated, modern aesthetic.

Front & Back Lit signs feature acrylic front faces to allow light transmission, with sides constructed from either stainless steel or acrylic. Acrylic options include UV printing, as well as White, Matt White, Black, and Matt Black finishes. Stainless steel sides can be custom-colored to match your exact brand colors (using RGB, HEX, or CMYK codes) or finished in our premium metallics, including Gold, Light Gold, Brass, Rose Gold, Black, and Silver. Metallic finishes are available in Lightly Brushed, Brushed, Mirrored, or Matt styles.

Our standard depth for acrylic Front & Back Lit signs is 1.2 inches, with a minimum depth of 0.8 inches available. For stainless steel signs, our minimum and most popular depth is 1.2 inches. We can create signs up to 3.5 inches deep, and even deeper upon request. The depth affects both the intensity of the halo effect and the overall visual impact of your signage.

We offer eight LED color options: Cool White (10,000K), Daylight White (6,500K), Natural White (4,500K), Warm White (3,200K), Red, Pink, Blue, and Green. The three white options—Natural White, Daylight White, and Cool White—are by far the most popular choices due to their versatility when shining through UV-printed colors on the front of signs, providing brilliant illumination that enhances your brand colors.

Yes! Our innovative baffle system allows you to separate LED colors for front and back lighting, creating unique and dynamic effects. You can choose different colors for maximum creative impact—for example, white LEDs illuminating the front for clarity and visibility, while colored LEDs create a distinctive halo effect on the back. This customization option provides exceptional design flexibility to match your brand identity.

Absolutely. Our Front & Back Lit signs are built with weather-resistant materials and feature an IP67 waterproof rating, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. They're engineered to perform reliably in all weather conditions year-round, from rain and humidity to temperature extremes, ensuring your signage maintains its brilliant appearance and illumination regardless of the elements.

We offer flexible mounting configurations to suit your installation needs: individual letters with no backing panel for the cleanest, most professional look (requires a qualified electrician), signs mounted on backing panels for easier installation, wall-mounted options, or free-standing installations. Backing panel options include Raceway, Rectangle, Circle, and custom shapes to match your brand and design. Raceway, Rectangle, and Round backing panels can be designed for simple power connection.

Front & Back Lit signs are highly energy-efficient despite their dual illumination system. LED technology converts energy directly into light with minimal waste heat, significantly reducing operational costs compared to traditional lighting methods. The long-lasting LEDs require virtually no maintenance for years, eliminating bulb replacement costs while providing consistent, brilliant illumination 24/7, making them both cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
