What Are Standard Channel Letter Signs?

A standard channel letter sign is front lit, meaning the illumination comes from the front of the letter through the sign face. Other lighting options include backlit (halo) or reverse channel letters.
The illumination from this type comes through the back of the letter, giving the sign a “halo” lighting effect.

Facelit and backlit lettering illuminates the face of the signs and has the light halo aroung the back of the sign.
