Backlit channel letters are individually fabricated from metal, which provides the structural rigidity needed to mount each letter away from the building facade and house the internal LED modules. The metal construction ensures durability for exterior use while allowing light to project backward onto the wall surface to create the signature halo glow effect.

Frontlit channel letters illuminate outward through a translucent face on the front of each letter, making the letter face glow brightly. Backlit (reverse) channel letters have an open or opaque face with LED modules directing light backward onto the mounting surface, creating a halo effect around each letter. Backlit signs offer a more upscale, subtle aesthetic compared to the bold brightness of frontlit options.
