If you've ever driven past a strip mall at night, then you're probably familiar with the effectiveness of channel letter signs. One of the most common ways to illuminate your business is through channel letters.

Three of the most common types of channel letters are standard, reverse and open. Standard channel letters have colored acrylic faces illuminated by internal neon tubing or LED's, housed in a aluminum or plastic letter.
Reverse channel letters are often called Halo-lit letters as the lighting comes from behind the letters. The entire letter is made of solid aluminum construction and the back is left open, thereby exposing the light source. The letters are offset mounted, usually 2" away from the wall surface such that the neon or LED lighting is allowed to shine through the back with a halo effect on the wall surface. By day, the signage can easily be seen and by night, the signage comes to life.

Open channel letters aren't really open at all. These signs are manufactured much like the standard channel letter, but utilize clear acrylic faces to expose the raw neon of the sign. At night you can actually see the neon tubing (light source)inset within the aluminum letter, a very interesting alternative to Regular channel letters.
