Best for. Interiors that want a glowing outline rather than a lit face, such as hotel lobbies and showrooms.

Interiors that want a glowing outline rather than a lit face, such as hotel lobbies and showrooms. It sits in our hotels restaurants and bars work more often than anywhere else.
Some signs are read from the side of the street rather than from in front of it, and some interiors need a glow rather than a lit letter. Neither is a channel letter problem. These builds are the answers we actually produce, with the longer 7 to 10 day production times stated up front.
Hospitality signage is read at night, at close range, and in rooms whose lighting has already been designed. The sign has to join that lighting scheme rather than fight it. See the export packing and door to door delivery route for how this is specified on a live job.
