Exterior LED Light Box Signs

Front lit signs have LEDs positioned inside the sign cabinet, shining outward through translucent acrylic or polycarbonate faces. This is the most common and affordable illuminated blade sign option. The light is bright, uniform, and highly visible during both day and night.

Best for: Restaurants, fast food, retail stores, salons

Also called reverse-lit or halo-lit, these signs use LEDs mounted behind metal lettering or shapes. Light projects outward onto the wall, creating a soft "halo" glow around dark letters. This effect looks premium and sophisticated but requires a contrasting wall color.

Best for: Boutiques, luxury brands, hotels, law firms, spas

Both sides of the sign illuminate independently, making your message visible from two directions. Double-sided signs are ideal for corner buildings, one-way streets, or locations where foot traffic approaches from multiple angles. Each side can display the same design or different information (e.g., logo on one side, "OPEN" on the other).

Best for: Corner stores, bars, cafes on busy pedestrian streets

Acrylic (plexiglass) offers a glossy, modern look. It transmits light evenly and works well for full-color digital printing or translucent colored faces. Acrylic is lightweight, affordable, and available in dozens of colors. However, it scratches more easily than metal.

Best for: Indoor-facing exterior signs, covered walkways, lower-traffic areas

Metal blade signs are the most durable option for harsh outdoor conditions. Aluminum is lightweight and rustproof. Stainless steel offers maximum strength and a premium brushed or polished finish. Metal signs can be laser-cut into custom shapes, with LEDs mounted behind or around the letters.

Best for: Coastal locations (salt air), high-wind areas, 24/7 exposed locations
