to secure at least every fifth 
LED module within the channel 
letter. Use #6 (M3) or #8 (M4)

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.
