Frequently asked questions

Are combination-lit letters more expensive than standard front-lit?

They typically cost more due to the dual LED setup, but give a distinctive two-tone glow.

Can the front and back lights be controlled separately?

Yes, most installs wire the front face and back halo to separate circuits so each can be run independently.

Is combination lighting harder to maintain?

It uses two LED sets instead of one, so there are more components, but each is individually accessible for servicing.

Can combination lighting be added to an existing sign?

In many cases a standard channel letter set can be retrofitted with a rear halo circuit if access allows.
