3D Led Channel Letter Signage Backlit Business Led Sign

The Real Deal With Installation 

Here's what nobody tells you upfront: your wall matters as much as the letters. Maybe more. Those LEDs sit one to two inches off the surface shooting light backward. If your wall's got peeling paint, water stains, or rough texture, that halo's gonna look like garbage. Smooth painted surface? You'll get nice even glow. Messed up wall? Bright patches, dark spots, the whole thing looks cheap. 

Spacing has to stay exact across the whole letter back. Even a quarter-inch difference shows up at night as uneven lighting. Thin aluminum warps over time from heat and weather, changes that spacing, ruins the effect. You need thick metal - 0.080 inches minimum - that holds its shape for years. 

During the day you see metal letter shapes on your building. Nothing special. At night the halo makes them visible, but not super bright. If you're on a quiet street or shopping plaza where people actually look at buildings, great. Highway location with cars flying past at 60mph? They won't see it. Busy strip with tons of lit signs competing for attention? You'll get buried. 

When It Makes Sense 

Upscale restaurants want that elegant nighttime vibe. Law offices, medical practices, financial advisors use it to look professional and established. High-end retail, galleries, spas - places where the refined aesthetic matches what customers expect from that business type. 

Tire shop? Auto parts store? Fast food place? The upscale look doesn't fit. Customers aren't expecting sophisticated signage from those businesses. You'd be spending extra money on something that doesn't match your brand anyway.
