The new low-profile look of GemLite Formed Channel Letters are sure to make you happy. The new slim-line design with near invisible can and trimless face, allows channel letters to go places they have never been before. Now channel letters can go indoor, as part of POP displays, behind front desk areas, or anywhere you want illumination without the large 5” protrusion of a bent aluminum channel can. Aside from its sleek looks, the face material of the GemLite Formed Channel Letters has been specially formulated to work with LED wavelengths to promote the best diffusion and light translucency for eye-popping brightness..
Each GemLite Formed Channel Letter comes with an opaque white can approximately 3/4” deep and a corresponding face made from a translucent, LED compatible (built in diffusion) face color. The face can be made either with a flat, round, prismatic or other sculptured profile to match your customer’s needs. The light visible to bystanders will be emitted not only from the face but also from the sidewalls of the face portion of the letter. Round face letters particularly have a striking look using this manufacturing technique. Some customers have also accented GemLite letters by applying a translucent vinyl onto the surface of trans-white GemLite faces so the face emits a desired color and the light through the sides of the letter face create a halo effect for the sign.

Not for use with high heat and/or high voltage lighting systems. Use low profile LEDs to light.
8 Standard Translucent Face Colors Specifically Formulated for LED Illumination
Opaque White GemLite Channel Cans
Opaque white cans are required for UL recognition as the material has been specifically identified by Lot#, material thickness and composition. This opaque white reflects more light through the faces than other colors, and will also prevent most LED lighting systems from showing through the can side-walls--unless the LED modules are placed within 1” of the letter return. If a different can color is required or 100% opacity is required on the can, Gemini will charge an additional 15% to paint the can exteriors.
