Custom Illuminated Signs for Southern California Businesses
At Resource 4 Signs, we design and manufacture custom illuminated signs that help businesses stand out day and night. We are a California-licensed contractor and UL-certified electrical sign manufacturer. We handle every stage of your project in-house, from design to permitting, fabrication, and installation.
Illuminated signage enhances visibility, reinforces brand recognition, and adds a professional finish to any storefront, building, or interior space. Whether you need lighted letter signs, halo-lit signs, or custom illuminated logos, we build durable, weather-resistant signage tailored to your business and compliant with all local codes.
Lighted Letter Signs
Our lighted letter signs—often referred to as channel letters—combine precision craftsmanship with long-lasting LED technology. Each letter is individually fabricated using premium materials, such as aluminum and acrylic, for a clean, professional appearance.
- Front-lit channel letters feature bright, direct illumination through the acrylic face.
- Reverse-lit (halo) or back-lit signs create a sophisticated glow that defines each letter against the wall surface.
- We also offer compound-lit letters, combining both lighting methods for maximum impact.
Halo Lit and Back Lit Signs
For an upscale look, halo-lit or back-lit signs project light from behind each letter, casting a soft, even glow onto the mounting surface. This creates a refined “halo” effect often used by corporate offices, medical centers, and retail brands seeking elegant visibility at night.
Our team carefully engineers spacing, standoffs, and LED placement to achieve uniform illumination while maintaining full compliance with California Title 24 lighting standards.
Outdoor Illuminated Signs
We fabricate outdoor illuminated signs engineered to excel in Southern California’s demanding climate. Built with powder-coated aluminum and UV-resistant acrylic, our exterior illuminated signage retains its brilliance even in extreme heat, direct sunlight, and coastal humidity.
Applications include:
- Storefront and building identification signs
- Monument and pylon signage with LED lighting
- Multi-tenant and wayfinding displays
Every illuminated outdoor sign is engineered for code compliance and longevity. We ensure your sign also achieves visual consistency with your brand.
Indoor Illuminated Signs
Interior illumination can enhance your space as much as exterior signage. We produce indoor illuminated signs and custom letter light signs for lobbies, receptions, and branded spaces.
