Wholesale Open-Face Neon LED Channel Letters

Open-face neon letters leave the illuminated element visible instead of covering it with a standard acrylic face. Depending on the design, the formed metal letter can hold glass neon, flexible LED neon, or a narrow acrylic push-through with LEDs behind it. The result is the exposed glowing-line appearance customers usually mean when they ask for a classic neon look.

Glass neon gives the most traditional continuous glow, while LED neon uses less energy and is generally easier to maintain. Color, tube shape, mounting, electrical protection, and installation method are set for the individual design and site. Open-face neon is commonly specified for restaurants, bars, cinemas, entertainment venues, retail interiors, and feature walls.

Open-Face Neon Channel Letters FAQ

What's the difference between open-face neon and our flex neon LED sign product?

Open-face neon letters are formed metal channel letters with exposed glass or LED neon tubing installed within the letter body. Our dedicated flex neon LED sign product uses flexible LED neon tubing mounted directly to a cut backer plate in any custom logo or wordmark shape, without a formed metal letter.

Is LED neon a good replacement for traditional glass neon?

Yes, for most applications. LED neon offers comparable brightness with better energy efficiency and easier maintenance than glass neon, though traditional glass neon still offers a continuous authentic glow some clients specifically request.
