Exterior Lighted Signs
Starting at: $2,500.00
Exterior lighted signs enhance your building’s visibility with energy-efficient LED lighting and durable weather-rated construction. Choose from fully illuminated panel signs or individual backlit letters. Panel signs can feature reverse-cut graphics, push-through acrylic for an edge-lit glow, or dimensional backlit letters. Backlit letters produce a halo effect using LEDs mounted inside fabricated stainless or aluminum letters.
Available in cool white, warm white, or full-color RGB lighting to match your branding. Wiring is concealed within the sign or panel, with access needed behind the wall for connection. We offer standard options online or custom designs through our quote form. Nationwide survey, permitting, and installation services are available.

We offer fully illuminated panel signs as well as individually lit letters for exterior applications. Panel signs serve as a raceway to conceal wiring and power supplies, while allowing for reverse-cut graphics, push-through acrylic letters, or dimensional backlit letters to be assembled directly onto the face.
Exterior lighted signs are typically fabricated from aluminum or stainless steel panels fitted with LED components. The panel is painted (often metallic silver or any custom color), or brushed depending on size. Letters may be halo-lit, push-through acrylic, or reverse-cut and backed with translucent acrylic. All components are sealed and rated for exterior use.
Yes. Upload a straight-on photo of your building and rough measurements in the quote form. We’ll mock up a scaled proof and help guide layout, permitting, and technical design.
Panel signs provide a clean, integrated background for your letters and conceal all wiring inside the cabinet. This eliminates the need for direct wall access behind each letter and adds visibility by giving contrast to the illuminated elements.
Wiring and power supplies are housed inside the sign cabinet or raceway. If using individual letters, access is required behind the wall for each wire. For most projects, we recommend a raceway sign if full rear wall access isn’t available. View Exterior Sign Wiring Requirements
