Get a Free QuoteBacklit letter signs spell out your name or logo in separate lit letters that throw a halo onto the wall. Each letter and logo part has its own shell, its own LED, and its own wiring. With the lights off, the sign looks like clean dimensional letters. With the lights on, the halo traces the outline of each piece. This page helps you plan what goes on the sign and the wall it goes on.
A letter sign can carry your wording, your logo, house or suite numbers, or a mix of them. Serif, sans serif, and script fonts all work, and so do non-Latin alphabets. The one limit is space for the LED. Strokes that are too thin or letters that are too small can’t hold it, so we may suggest widening a stroke slightly, and you decide whether to make that change. Send vector artwork and we’ll check every letter before we quote.
The face of a backlit letter doesn’t light up, so the finish is what people see when the sign is off. Pick the finish as carefully as the light color. Metal letters come in brushed, mirror-polished, painted, or plated finishes, and acrylic letters come painted.
The wall is part of the sign, because the halo shines on it. A few points to check before you order:
Start from where the sign lives and the look you want, and the route follows.
Luxury and Classic are the metal routes, and acrylic is the lighter route, for indoors or outdoors. The comparison table on this page lines them up side by side.
The bright metal route for premium storefront and lobby signs, with a visible light-transmitting acrylic edge. It lights a wider area and gives a stronger halo. It mounts flush by default and can also mount off the wall, indoors or outdoors.
The most common backlit sign, with strong weather resistance and wide flexibility in fonts and sizes, from small letters to large letters. It mounts off the wall, and because its halo is reflected light, the effect depends on how reflective the wall is. The overall glow is softer, and it suits indoor and outdoor fronts alike.
Backlit acrylic letters use a CNC-engraved shell, so they can take complex custom shapes while staying light, which suits company-name walls where low weight and close-up brightness matter. The face of the acrylic shell, and the sides near the face, are covered with paint or powder coat so light doesn’t leak through there. Light escapes through the unpainted acrylic sides nearest the wall and falls straight onto the wall to form a halo. They work indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, they are best mounted under an awning or canopy, where they last longer.
