Front-Lit Channel Letters For Shopping Malls
Front-lit channel letters are the most widely used type of illuminated letter signs. LEDs are installed inside the letter body and shine through the acrylic face, creating clear, direct, and highly visible brand signage for both close-view and long-distance applications.
DIKA SIGN custom manufactures aluminum and stainless steel front-lit channel letters with painted, electroplated, brushed, or mirror finishes. Faces can be made with solid-color acrylic or white acrylic with translucent vinyl for accurate brand color control.
