Illuminated signs use lighting to increase visibility and draw attention to your sign. Especially if your business operates during evening hours, illuminated signage is a great option to make sure your signage is visible to potential clients.
Here at Octagon Lincoln, we use energy-efficient LEDs for all illuminated signs so that you can reap the benefits of this style of signage while keeping costs low.
A tray sign is a flat panel folded on all four sides to resemble a tray, or ‘biscuit tin lid’. Your design is then cut from the panel to create a hollow outline or cut out and extended forward to create a three-dimensional effect. The outline or three-dimensional features are illuminated by LED lights hidden inside the tray.
The halo effect involves lighting up the area behind the sign or lettering. This results in a in a bold and illuminated border that draws attention to what’s in the centre.
Built-up letters, also known as 3D or channel letters, are moulded from durable materials to create a three-dimensional letter shape. Built-up letters can be illuminated by inserting LED lights inside the lettering or with a ‘halo effect’.
There’s a high chance you’ve seen lightbox signage when out and about on your daily commute. This kind of signage resembles a thin box shape with a semi-translucent face printed on plastic, acrylic or vinyl. Lightbox signs are lit internally which makes the face of the sign appear as if it is going. Lightbox signs are a win-win as they reap the benefits of illuminated signs without coming across as overpowering, or ‘too much’.
