Illuminated signs have many custom built electrical connections. They can be mounted onto walls, sides of buildings, on a single pole or between two poles if needed. Lighted Cabinet Signs can also be ground mounted. Lighted Cabinets can also be mounted perpendicularly to the wall or structure it is being mounted to. However, such projecting signs, as they are called, are not allowed in some cities or historic districts.
Flat faces are the most common type.
These faces remain flush with the front of the metal cabinet itself. Pan faces flare out, usually two inches or so, from the edges of the sign face. These faces give the sign a much more appealing, architectural look. Pan faces make a Lighted Cabinet Sign look more professional than a flat faced sign. The third type of face, embossed, starts with a pan face and further extrudes selected areas of the sign face a half inch or so.
