Are your channel letters LED-lit?
Yes. Our lit channel letters use LEDs: front-lit through a colored acrylic face, halo-lit behind each letter, or open-face LED neon-flex. LEDs come in warm white, cool white, single colors or RGB.
Do you install channel letters in Los Angeles?
Yes. One Irvine team measures, designs, permits and installs channel letters across Orange County and Los Angeles County, plus the Inland Empire and San Diego County.
Do I need a permit?
Almost always for lit exterior signs in LA and Orange County. We handle the drawings, application and inspection.
How long does it take?
Usually 3–6 weeks from first call to install: 1–2 weeks to build after you approve the design, plus 1–3 weeks for the permit.
Front-lit or halo-lit?
Front-lit is brightest and easiest to read from the road. Halo-lit glows softly behind the letters and feels more premium. We'll show you both on your building.
Can you match our brand colors?
Yes. Faces are matched to your Pantone or RAL colors, and LEDs come in warm white, cool white, single colors or RGB.
