Halo-lit letters are solid-faced fabricated letters with LEDs inside that shine backwards onto the wall, so each letter stands in silhouette against a soft outline of light.
Halo-lit letters in Westhill: the practical benefits
- Older streets in Westhill may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
- Where a Westhill building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- At a Westhill hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.

Consent for illuminated signs in Westhill
A lit sign is the clearest case for applying first. Scotland's 1984 Advertisement Regulations treat illuminated signs differently from unlit ones, and express consent is usually needed for halo-lit letters, lightboxes and lit projecting signs. We check with the council before you commit to halo-lit letters, then put together scaled drawings, photo mock-ups and lighting details, which you can submit via eDevelopment.scot or we can submit for you. Expect the council to look at brightness (PLG05 is the usual reference) and to prefer steady light, perhaps on a time switch. The mains connection is completed by an electrician to BS 7671.
