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.
Where halo-lit letters can pay off in Lisburn
- Next to bright lightboxes on a Lisburn parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.
- At a Lisburn hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.

Consent for illuminated signs in Lisburn
Expect to apply if you want light. In Northern Ireland, express consent is usually required for exterior illuminated signs under the 2015 NI Regulations, and the council is likely to consider brightness, hours and appearance, particularly in conservation areas or on listed buildings. We prepare the scaled drawings, lighting details and photo mock-ups for an NI Planning Portal application, or submit it on your behalf. Keep illumination static and within the PLG05 guidance, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. The mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671.
