the inside of the channel letter
before you begin.

Use rivets, screws, or silicone

to secure at least every fth

LED module within the channel

letter. Use #6 (M3) or #8 (M4)
pan headed metal screws, 1/8-

inch (3.2 mm) rivets, or silicone.

Measure and cut Tetra LED

for each letter. Cuts can be

made between any of the
modules.

Drill a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm)

hole near the LED strip and
grommet the hole for supply
wire access.

NOTE: For halo-lit applications LED modules should be mounted on UL

recognized clear acrylic or polycarbonate. The light output from the LED
system should be directed back into the sign enclosure. This will allow for
uniform backlighting of the sign and will provide simple mounting and
protection against moisture.
