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.
What you gain from halo-lit letters in Irvine
- Offices on an Irvine business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.
- Where an Irvine building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- Older streets in Irvine may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
What halo-lit letters cost in Irvine
Guide prices start from £160 and go up to £420 per letter, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Halo-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £160 – £420 | £192 – £504 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Irvine
Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.
