Front-Lit Letters
Bold front-illuminated volumetric letters for high-impact daytime and nighttime visibility
About This Service
Front-lit letters feature LED illumination that lights the front face of each letter, creating a bold, highly visible sign. Unlike channel letters where light passes through the face, front-lit letters use external LED strips or spotlights directed at the letter face. This provides strong contrast and readability. Ideal for storefronts, malls, and building facades where maximum readability is essential. Craftarea produces front-lit letters in any material — metal, acrylic, or composite.

Aluminum, stainless steel, acrylic, ABS, or composite. Material choice affects durability, weight, and appearance.
How far can front-lit letters be seen?
