FACE LIT SIGNS

Frontlit signs are designed with the light source located in front of the sign elements, illuminating the sign face. These signs are commonly used in outdoor advertising, such as billboards and building signage.

EDGE-LIT SIGNS

Edge-lit signs have light sources along the edges of a transparent or translucent sign material, such as acrylic or glass. The LED light is internally reflected through the material, making the sign elements appear to glow.
