Custom Painted Metal Double-Sided Illuminated Letters – Front & Back AB Glow
Custom painted metal double-sided illuminated letters with front and back LED glow. Premium dimensional letters for storefronts, hanging signs, interior brand walls and retail displays. Custom paint colors, sizes, fonts and finishes. OEM from our factory in China.
Custom painted metal double-sided illuminated letters combine painted metal construction with LED illumination on both the front and back faces. Designed for storefronts, hanging signs, interior brand walls, retail displays and restaurant signage, these dimensional letters deliver a clear, high-visibility glow visible from multiple angles.
Product Overview
Double-sided (AB) illuminated letters use LED light on both the front and back of each letter, so the sign stays visible whether it is viewed head-on, from the side, or from behind — a key advantage for hanging signs, glass-front storefronts, window displays and interior partitions. The painted metal body keeps a clean, solid brand color during the day, while the front and back LED glow takes over after dark.
Each letter is manufactured to your size, font, logo shape and thickness, with the paint color, LED color and mounting method configured to the project. For a comparison of flat-cut versus dimensional lettering, see our guide: Channel Letters vs. Flat Cut Letters. For an overview of illuminated letter types and lighting methods, see Illuminated Letters: Types, Lighting Options, and LED Technology Guide.

Materials and Construction
Each letter is constructed with a metal body (stainless steel, aluminum or galvanized steel, depending on size and application), painted with a custom color finish. LED modules are mounted on both the front and back faces to create the double-sided glow. For exterior projects, the paint system and LED components can be specified for weather resistance.
