Can halo letters be used inside?

Yes, and reception walls suit them well. Indoor letters can be slimmer, with drivers in a ceiling void. A sign well inside the building is usually outside advertisement control, though check if it's visible through glazing. An electrician still makes the connection to BS 7671.

How do you look after halo letters?

Clean metal faces gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent a few times a year, avoiding abrasive pads on brushed or mirror finishes. Check the clear backs for trapped dirt or insects. If a halo dims or goes patchy, the driver is the usual suspect.

Will the location in Antrim affect the cost of halo-lit letters?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £160–£420 per letter + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Antrim are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Is there a typical lead time for halo-lit letters in Antrim?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Is Antrim inside your coverage area for halo-lit letters?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Antrim and every part of County Antrim are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

How far off the wall do halo letters sit?

Usually 25–50 mm. Closer gives a tight, bright outline; further gives a softer, wider glow and makes the letters seem to float. Larger letters generally sit further out. The distance is set on the drawings and fine-tuned on the locators during fitting.

Halo-lit letters in Antrim

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 halo-lit letters cost in Antrim

Use these figures to budget: £160 to £420 per letter is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.

Consent for illuminated signs in Antrim

Under the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, an illuminated fascia or projecting sign usually needs express consent from the council. Applications go in online via the NI Planning Portal, and the council will tell you its timescale and may set conditions on hours or light levels. PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual brightness benchmark, and flashing is generally out. Listed premises usually need listed building consent alongside. Once installed, the sign is connected to the mains by an electrician to BS 7671, with a certificate for you. We can prepare the drawings or submit the application.

Covering Antrim and County Antrim

From the middle of Antrim to the edges of County Antrim, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Antrim is about 14 miles north-west of Belfast.
