Considered the “standard”, Front Lit Channel Letters (Standard) have translucent faces. Neon gas tubes or, more commonly, LED modules are used to illuminate the letters and each letter has an acrylic face and aluminum backing and is self-contained.
Key Benefits:
- Customizable, economical, easy to read
- Radiant light effect
- Upscale appearance
Halo Lit

Covered with aluminum to allow light to spill only from the edges and backs of each letter, producing the effect of a dark letter against a lighted backdrop. Letters are mounted so that when illuminated, the light creates a “halo effect” around each letter’s shape.
Key Benefits:
- Letter backs are covered (repels birds & insects)
- Dramatic “halo” light effect
- Excellent for night viewing
Front & Halo Lit

Combines both Front and Halo styles, lighting up the front of each letter from within, and also casting a bright light on the backdrop so each letter is dramatically highlighted. The backs of the letters near the mounting surface are transparent so some light creates a background halo.
Key Benefits:
- Combines benefits of Front & Halo Lit
- Very impactful and visible
- Can be different colours
