Electric & Light Up Sign Options for Every Application

We offer a full range of illuminated signage products, and every option is customizable to match your brand colors, messaging, and format. Whether you need a large-scale building sign or a compact interior display, there’s a solution that fits.

Our Custom Electric and Light Up Signs product lineup includes:

Lighted Cabinet Signage: Light box displays that render complex, multicolored graphics on a translucent face. Common for pylon and wall-mounted signs where bold, backlit visuals need to carry from a distance.
LED Signboards: Programmable electronic message centers that let you update promotions, hours, and announcements without replacing the physical sign. Ideal for businesses with frequently changing messaging.
Illuminated Lettering & channel letters: Dimensional, internally lit individual characters that give storefronts and building facades a clean, premium look with strong readability day and night.
LED Digital Monument Signs: Ground-level signs with dynamic digital displays, built for visibility at street level near entrances and driveways.
Backlit Signs: Panels lit from behind, commonly used for lobby displays, menu boards, and interior brand environments.
Exit Signs: Code-compliant illuminated exit signage for commercial interiors.

LED technology powers most of our illuminated signage, delivering bright output with significantly lower energy consumption than older fluorescent methods. If you’ve searched “custom LED signs Charlotte” or “custom neon signs Charlotte,” modern LED solutions are the current standard. They offer the same vivid glow with greater durability and efficiency.

How the Electric Sign Process Works

Every project starts with a conversation. We’ll learn about your business goals, your space, and what you want your signage to accomplish. From there, our team moves through a structured process so nothing gets missed and you know where your project stands.

Consultation & Site Survey

We begin with a one-on-one needs assessment. For electric signs, that typically includes a site survey to evaluate placement options, visibility angles, structural considerations, and local code requirements before design work begins. Getting this right early can help prevent costly revisions later.

Design & Fabrication

Our graphic design team develops a sign concept aligned with your brand identity, then our production team fabricates it to specification. Electric signs require precision in both aesthetics and construction, and we manage both at the design and production level.

Installation & Project Management

Our project management services coordinate installation scheduling so the final phase goes smoothly. Commercial electric signage is subject to UL safety standards, and our managed installation process accounts for compliance requirements throughout.

Sign Permitting for Charlotte Businesses

Commercial signage installation in Charlotte requires permits, and navigating local zoning codes can be time-consuming for business owners who aren’t familiar with the process. Survey and permitting is a service we offer alongside sign fabrication. We help you work through the requirements rather than leaving you to figure it out on your own.

Each FASTSIGNS center is independently owned and operated and handles compliance with local licensing and regulation requirements for its market. Where a licensed electrical contractor is required for installation, we help identify a qualified provider who meets applicable state and local requirements. The result is a more streamlined path from approved design to installed sign, without unexpected stops.

Charlotte Businesses That Benefit from Electric Signs

Illuminated signage serves a wide range of businesses across Mecklenburg County. Retail storefronts and restaurants use electric signs to draw foot traffic from busy corridors day and night. Healthcare facilities and professional offices rely on illuminated building identification and wayfinding signs to create a welcoming, easy-to-navigate environment. Businesses that update messaging frequently, such as auto dealers, restaurants, and churches, benefit from LED Signboards and electronic message centers that can be reprogrammed without physical replacement.

We serve clients across retail, food and beverage, healthcare, real estate, and more. If you have an existing sign structure, an LED retrofit can upgrade it to energy-efficient technology without a full replacement. Whatever your application, our team can recommend the product type that fits your space, your brand, and your visibility goals.
