Orlanto metal luminous letters help commercial storefronts maintain a consistent brand image both day and night. During the day, the metal texture conveys brand tone; at night, the lighting effects make the brand visible.
We provide full-process custom services from material selection and structural design to manufacturing, suitable for various business types including restaurants, retail, hotels, and offices. 
Material Options
Based on installation environment and budget, we offer three metal material options:
Stainless steel offers strong corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor environments. Available in 304 and 316 grades, with surface finishes including brushed, mirror, or color coating, balancing texture and durability.
Galvanized steel with baked coating provides cost control and rich color choices, suitable for budget-conscious projects or those with specific color requirements. Recommended for indoor or semi-outdoor applications.
Aluminum is lightweight, suitable for weight-restricted installation positions. Surfaces can be anodized or coated for a fine texture.
Surface Finishing Processes
The metal letter shell surfaces offer multiple finishing options to match different brand visual identities:
Baked coating provides high color saturation with a uniform, fine finish, and can be precisely color-matched to brand colors. Available in matte or gloss finishes.
Powder coating offers a thicker coating than baked paint, with strong adhesion and outstanding UV resistance, ideal for long-term outdoor use. Available in textured finishes such as sand texture or orange peel.
Electroplating forms a metallic coating on stainless steel surfaces, delivering colors like gold, rose gold, and black titanium, suitable for brands that want to emphasize texture.
Brushed stainless steel features a fine linear texture that is wear-resistant and fingerprint-resistant, with a strong modern feel. Brush directions can be vertical, horizontal, or random.
Lighting Methods
Based on store location and brand tone, we offer four lighting methods:
Front-lit illumination emits light evenly through the letter face, presenting brand information clearly and intuitively. This is the most common and recognizable lighting method.
Backlit halo emits light from behind the letter, creating a soft halo on the wall, producing a floating, premium effect.
Double-sided illumination emits light from both front and back surfaces simultaneously, ideal for suspended installations in island positions or window displays, visible from multiple angles.
Edge-lit illumination emits light from the side of the letter, outlining its contour. This unique effect is perfect for brands seeking distinctive, design-focused signage.

Structural Design
The structural design of metal luminous letters balances safety and aesthetics. Flush mounting is suitable for flat walls; standoff mounting pairs with backlit halo effects; suspended mounting is suitable for island or high-ceiling spaces. Large letters require internal reinforcement to prevent deformation, and outdoor installations must consider wind load requirements. Each set includes power adapters, mounting accessories, and structural drawings for easy installation by local teams.
Product Key Features
Letter shells are precision-formed by laser cutting for high dimensional accuracy and burr-free edges. After welding, they are ground and leveled for structural stability.
LED light sources are reliable with accurate color temperature and low light decay, maintaining brightness for tens of thousands of hours. Outdoor versions feature excellent dustproof and waterproof performance.
Each set comes with complete installation accessories and structural drawings, including support structures, power adapters, and connection cables, facilitating installation by local teams.
Note: This solution provides finished luminous letters and supporting materials only, without on-site installation services.
Custom Process
Provide dimensions and installation environment information → Confirm material, color, and lighting method requirements → Enter design phase → Confirm drawings and quotation → Proceed to production → Conduct power-on testing → Package and ship → Include installation instructions and structural drawings.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between outdoor and indoor luminous letters in terms of materials?
A: Outdoor luminous letters are recommended to use 304 or 316 stainless steel for strong corrosion resistance, with powder coating or baked paint on the surface to withstand long-term sun and rain exposure. Indoor luminous letters can use galvanized steel with baked coating or aluminum, which have lower weather resistance requirements and are more cost-effective.
Q: Does the type of mounting wall affect the luminous letters?
A: Yes. Different wall surfaces such as tile, stone, metal, and glass require different fixing methods and should be confirmed in advance. Uneven walls may require surface preparation, otherwise it may affect the fit of the letter shells and the halo effect.
Q: How long does it take to ship after placing an order?
A: The production cycle is typically 7-15 business days, depending on order quantity and process complexity. Bulk orders or special processes may require additional time.
Q: Will outdoor luminous letters rust or fade after prolonged exposure?
A: 304 stainless steel itself has corrosion resistance, and with baked coating or powder coating, it effectively prevents rust and fading. For coastal or high-humidity areas, 316 stainless steel is recommended for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Q: How do you ensure consistency for multiple stores of the same brand?
A: We use unified design files, unified raw material batches, and unified production standards to ensure high consistency across different batches. First-article confirmation service is available for bulk orders.
Q: What information is needed to customize luminous letters?
A: Please provide brand name, font style (AI/CDR files preferred), installation location dimensions, wall material, power source location, and other relevant information for evaluation and design.
