Matte Black Metal Backlit Letters Modern Floating LED Sign

The magic of this signage style happens in the gap between the sign and the wall. We don't just glue the sign up; that would trap the light. Instead, each backlit letter is mounted on stainless steel standoff pins. These pins are crucial because they are adjustable. If your building facade has uneven stone or textured brick, we can screw the spacers in or out to make sure every backlit letter sits perfectly level. We typically aim for a 30mm to 50mm floating distance. This specific gap allows the photons to spread out, creating that smooth, continuous halo effect that makes the backlit letter look like it is hovering in mid-air.

Maintenance is another huge advantage that people forget to mention. With a front-lit sign, the plastic face is exposed to the wind and dust, so bugs often get trapped inside, creating dark shadows. But with a backlit letter, the front is solid metal. It is essentially a shield. Dust and spiderwebs settle on top, where rain usually washes them away, or they can be easily wiped off without opening the casing. This means your backlit letter signage stays looking brand new for years with almost zero effort from your maintenance team.

Finally, we have to talk about power efficiency. Because we rely on reflected light, we use high-efficiency LED modules that draw very little current. You can often run an entire set of branding on the same amount of electricity as two or three standard lightbulbs. We also ensure that the wiring exiting the back of each backlit letter is fully sealed with silicone. This prevents water from traveling down the wire and entering your wall cavity. When you combine energy savings with our heavy-duty weatherproofing, investing in a high-quality backlit letter becomes one of the smartest decisions for your property’s long-term value.
