Custom Electric & Light Up Signs That Work Around the Clock

A sign that goes dark after sunset stops working for you. Custom Electric and Light Up Signs keep your business visible day and night, whether you’re on a busy Campbell corridor or competing for attention in San Jose, CA’s dense commercial landscape. From Lighted Cabinet Signs to LED Digital Monument Signs, we offer the full range of illuminated signage built to match your brand and hold up through every season.

FASTSIGNS® of San Jose-Campbell is locally owned and operated, serving businesses of all sizes across San Jose and the South Bay. We’ve completed illuminated sign projects including light box and monument signs, and our work is documented in our project gallery.

One Team from Design to Installation

Sourcing a sign online and sorting out permits and installation on your own takes time you don’t have. We manage the entire project: graphic design, brand alignment, survey and permitting coordination, fabrication, and managed installation. You get one point of contact instead of juggling a designer, a fabricator, and a separate installer.

Our team holds a 4.9 average rating on Google, and customers regularly mention Jessica and Richard by name for their responsiveness and attention to detail across projects. That kind of continuity matters when a sign project runs through multiple stages over several weeks.

As a strategic visual communications partner, we don’t just hand you a product. We can help you figure out what can work best for your location, your brand, and your budget. If electric and light up signs aren’t the right fit, we’ll tell you and help you find what is. We’re backed by more than 35 years of industry experience at the brand level, paired with the local accountability of a neighborhood business.

Illuminated Sign Types for Every Application

Not every illuminated sign works the same way or fits the same environment. Understanding your options makes it easier to choose the format that matches your storefront, your brand identity, and your viewing conditions.

Illumination Styles

Backlit (Halo) Signs
Light is cast behind the letters or logo, creating a glowing halo effect with no front illumination. This approach suits upscale retail, hospitality, and corporate environments where a refined look matters.

Front-Lit Signs
Light is directed through the face of the sign for bold, high-contrast visibility. Front-lit signs perform well on building facades and busy roadways where legibility from a distance is the priority.

Front-and-Back-Lit Signs
Face illumination and a halo effect are combined into one sign, producing a dynamic, layered look that reads well both day and night.

Fully Illuminated Signs
Light diffuses evenly through the acrylic face and sides for a seamless, modern glow. This style gives signage a clean, contemporary appearance.

Light Box Signs
Three-dimensional cabinet signs lit from within using LEDs behind a translucent graphic panel. Light box signs deliver consistent brightness and are a reliable choice for storefronts and commercial properties.

Product Types We Offer

Our Custom Electric and Light Up Signs line covers six categories designed to address different commercial signage needs:

Lighted Cabinet Signs: Durable and versatile, built for storefronts and building exteriors that need dependable illumination.
LED Signboards & Displays: Programmable messaging that can be updated without fabricating a new sign.
Illuminated Channel Letters: Individual three-dimensional letters that create a high-end, architectural look on any facade.
LED Digital Monument Signs: Monument-form signs with dynamic LED capability for properties that need both permanence and flexibility.
Backlit Signage: A versatile format used for lobby signs, menu boards, trade show displays, and interior wayfinding.
Custom Exit & Directional Signs: Illuminated wayfinding that keeps people moving safely and confidently through your space.

Materials & Customization Options

Every illuminated sign we produce is built to your brand standards. LED color options span a range of white temperatures and vibrant colors. Faces and returns can be matched to your exact Pantone, RGB, HEX, or CMYK values. Metal components are available in finishes including gold, brass, rose gold, and silver, with brushed, mirrored, or matte textures.

Backlit, front-lit, front-and-back-lit, and light box signs typically use acrylic faces for excellent light transmission, paired with acrylic or metal returns. Fully illuminated signs are often fabricated entirely from acrylic so light diffuses through every visible surface. All illuminated signs are powered by energy-efficient LED technology, which uses significantly less power than traditional lighting and produces less waste heat.

How We Manage Your Electric Sign Project

Custom electric signs in San Jose involve more steps than most clients expect before they’ve been through the process. Here’s how we take a project from initial conversation to completed installation.

Consultation & Design: We start by learning about your brand, your location, and what you need the sign to do. Our graphic design team develops concepts aligned with your brand identity.
Site Survey: Before fabrication begins, a site survey assesses viewing distance, traffic flow, mounting surfaces, and power access. This informs placement decisions and sign specifications.
Permitting Coordination: We support you through the documentation process, including sign dimensions, placement details, and electrical specifications required by local jurisdictions in Santa Clara County.
Fabrication: Your sign is produced to the approved specifications using materials selected for durability and consistent illumination outdoors.
Managed Installation: We coordinate mounting, weatherproofing, and electrical connections to protect your investment. Installation is managed through our project process, with compliance for electrical work the responsibility of this independently owned center under applicable local requirements.

If you already have a cabinet sign or channel letter installation, we can also explore refresh and retrofit options that update the look or improve the LED performance of an existing structure.
