What Are Illuminated Signs?
An illuminated sign, also known as a lighted sign, uses internal or external lighting to make your business visible after dark. This is perfect for St. Louis retail shops, bars, restaurants, and any business that wants to stand out.
While neon was popular in the past for its distinct look, modern signs primarily use LED technology. LEDs are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and offer endless customization options, making them the standard for brilliant, reliable St. Louis signage.
Channel Letters
These are three-dimensional, individually crafted letters that can be illuminated in several ways. They offer a sophisticated and highly professional appearance.
Cabinet Signs
Also known as a logo box or contour cabinet, this is a lighted box that can be crafted into any shape, not just letters. It’s a versatile option for displaying complex logos and designs.
Monument Signs
These are freestanding ground signs that command attention from the street. They can be lit internally or externally and often incorporate channel letters or electronic message centers (EMCs) for dynamic displays.
Pole Signs
For maximum visibility from a distance, pole (or pylon) signs elevate your brand high above the rest. They typically consist of an illuminated cabinet sign mounted on a tall pole.

How Your Sign Can Shine: Illumination Methods
There are two primary ways to light your sign, each creating a different visual effect.
Internally Lit Signs
The light source is placed inside the sign, shining outward.
- Face-Lit (or Front-Lit): The most common method where the front of the letters or logo glows.
- Back-Lit (or Halo-Lit): Light projects from the back of the sign onto the wall, creating a subtle, elegant halo effect.
- Front-lit and Halo-Lit: A blend of face-lit and back-lit for maximum impact and a dynamic look.
- Edge-Lit: A unique style where the sides (returns) of the letters are illuminated while the face remains opaque.
Externally Lit Signs
A separate, independent light source, such as a spotlight or floodlight, is positioned to shine onto the face of the sign. This traditional method is a simple, classic, and highly effective way to ensure your sign remains visible and legible after dark.
How your sign attaches to the building is just as important as its design.
- Raceway Mount: Letters are attached to a metal box (a raceway) that houses the electrical components. This minimizes drilling into the building facade.
- Direct Mount: Each letter is attached directly to the wall for a clean, seamless look.
- Stand-Off Mount: Letters are installed with a small space behind them. This creates a drop-shadow effect for non-lit signs or allows the glow from halo-lit signs to wash over the wall.

FAQ
What is the difference between LED and neon signs?
LED signs are the modern standard for illuminated signage. They are more energy-efficient, longer-lasting, and offer greater flexibility in design and color than traditional neon. While neon is still used for specific retro aesthetics, almost all new lighted signs use LED technology.
How long do LED signs last?
High-quality LED modules can last for hundreds of thousands of hours before burning out. With proper installation and maintenance, your St. Louis illuminated sign will be a bright, effective marketing tool for many years.

Yes. Our team is experienced in servicing and repairing all types of signs, including older models that use neon or other types of bulbs. We can often find the necessary components or upgrade your sign to modern, efficient LED technology.
