Illuminated, halo-lit and non-illuminated channel letters

Three-dimensional letters, illuminated, with halo/backlighting or non-illuminated, with individual fixing, on stand-offs or on mounting rails depending on the project.

Understand the product

The principle
of construction

The manufacture of bespoke channel letters combines a face, sides, a back and, for a lit version, front LED lighting or halo/backlighting. Each element contributes to the appearance and to installation preparation.

Volumes, assemblies and components

Explore the construction
in three dimensions

Explore assembled, exploded and cutaway views. For illuminated models only, LEDs & power supply shows the modules and wiring. This control is disabled for non-illuminated versions. Manufacturing specifications are defined for each project.

Drawing dimensions

The height scales the demonstration letter proportionally, without distortion. The length of the actual lettering will be calculated from your vector file. The thickness of the sides here refers to the depth of the box.

Select Day or Night to identify the lit areas. Indicative rendering; intensity and colour to be defined. Rotate the model using the control or by dragging it with the mouse. Tap a number or a component in the legend: only one link appears and the part is highlighted.

Choose a component

In exploded view, select a part or its name to read its function.

The exploded view separates the face to show the hollow volume, the LEDs and the electrical routing. Finish without visible edging; the face is held in place by an internal system to be defined.

The configurations

Illuminated face

The light passes through the diffusing face. To be studied for a logo or lettering that needs to be illuminated on the front.

Backlighting / halo

The light is directed towards the support behind the letter. The distance to the wall and its finish influence the halo.

Face + halo

The two effects are combined. This configuration requires a suitable construction and installation.

Professional questions

Before pricing

Which dimensions should be sent?

The total length and height, then the letter height if known. Also indicate accents, symbols and any other logo elements.

Can we choose a gold or black finish?

Specify the desired finish, ideally with a reference or a sample. The material, treatment and finish selected are specified in the quote.

Why provide a façade photo?

It helps identify the support, the environment and the points to be considered for fixing and the lighting effect.

Is the price calculated solely per letter?

The quotation depends in particular on the design, dimensions, materials, lighting, finish and installation. The complete graphic is required.

Channel letters manufacturer for sign makers

To prepare your sign, compare the construction of the volume, light diffusion and mounting. Each letter is assessed from your logo and its proportions.

Illuminated letters without returns

A sign without a trim strip has a face without an applied border on the front. Please specify this finish in your request; the construction and holding of the PMMA face are validated according to the dimensions.

Prismatic letters and LED blocks

Prismatic letters with a chamfered face create a faceted relief. LED block letters in PMMA use machined material and diffusion zones defined by the construction. These models correspond to distinct catalogue solutions.

Finishes and lighting

Front lighting, halo backlighting or non-illuminated version: please specify the expected finish and shade. For a RAL coating on aluminium edges, please state the reference and finish to be confirmed in the quotation.
