Back-lit letters are also knows as reverse channel letters and sometimes are also called “halo lit" letters.

Normally fabricated from aluminum sheet metal, the sign elements are cut, cleaned and shaped with the cut elements powder coated and the final step being the installation of the LED modules to each individual letter or logos. The string of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) are spaced just far enough apart that the light source overlaps each other for a constant glow.

LED's are generally wrapped in its own special polymer jacket for protection which is more lightweight than neon and more flexible. Because of this, installation of LED signs is faster than its counterpart and LED's have zero hotspots. The energy savings with LED is also apparent in big way. LED's can save you up to 70% or more in energy costs while traditional glass neon runs hotter and uses more energy.
