Side-Lit, Front-Lit and Back-Lit Channel Letters

What are “Side-Lit” channel letters?

While most common channel letters are illuminated for the front view, Side-Lit letters are uniquely made so that light shines not only through the front (or the face) but also through the sides. Thus, the difference is an all-around 360-degree glow which enhances the appearance of the signage and also gives it a sophisticated look. The trick is that front-lit signs are made from aluminum that is easily manufactured to create your desired look. Yet, side-lit channel letters are made from acrylic, Lexan which is specially bent and bonded making it a little more expensive. But, even then, you’re left with a futuristic, attention-grabbing piece of art that illuminates your company’s name in the most elegant way.
