Channel letters
Front & Back Lit Letters
Both at once — a lit face and a halo behind it.
Front-and-back lit letters run light forward through the face and backward onto the wall at the same time. It is the most expensive letter we build and the one that photographs best.
Configurations include pan letters with push-through faces, standard trim cap letters with an open or translucent back, trimless face letters, trimless face-and-back letters, and channel letters with a trimless stepped back. Which one is right depends on how much halo you want relative to the face.
