Three ideas for illuminating your signage

When you add a sign to the front of your shop, restaurant or office space, you want as many people to notice it as possible. One way to ensure this is to have a sign that lights up, and there are various design options available for that. This blog will outline a few of them.

Face style lighting

One of the most popular kinds of illuminated signage is “face style” – because it is particularly high impact. With this kind of design, each individual letter in the sign is lit up. The best method for creating this is to put LEDs inside acrylic face letters, as that will produce an even illumination. Face style lighting is available in a range of colours.

Halo lighting

This is another popular option, but the effect it creates is completely different. Instead of lighting up the actual letters, it involves lighting the area behind them. The illumination effect is diffused, producing a softer, glowing light. It can provide a warm and subtle look that is ideal for office signage in particular.

Light bulb style

With this kind of illuminated signage, the bulbs are visible rather than hidden. Some companies regard it as old-fashioned, but that also means that it has retro appeal. It will be a good choice if you are running a shop with a quirky and colourful image; however, make sure to use LED bulbs, because they are more energy efficient than incandescent ones.
