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.

Reasons to choose halo-lit letters in Armagh

  • Older streets in Armagh may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
  • Where an Armagh building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
  • Offices on an Armagh business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.

Consent for illuminated signs in Armagh

Light changes the consent position. Under Northern Ireland's 2015 Advertisement Regulations, internally lit, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent from the council, applied for online through the NI Planning Portal. A listed building usually needs listed building consent as well. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the final mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671, who certifies the circuit. Councils commonly refer to PLG05 for brightness and expect steady rather than flashing light. We check before you commit to halo-lit letters and can prepare or submit the application.

Covering Armagh and County Armagh

Coverage is nationwide, which means Armagh and the surrounding parts of County Armagh are included as standard.

Roughly 13 miles separate Armagh from Craigavon, which lies to the north-east.

Halo-lit letters in Armagh: questions

Can the halo be coloured?

Yes. Coloured LEDs can give an amber, blue or brand-coloured halo, and colour-changing LEDs are possible where consent allows. White remains the usual choice because it suits most metals and walls. Keep street-facing light static, as flashing light generally needs specific consent.

Can halo letters go on dark brick?

They can, but the halo will be faint because dark surfaces absorb light. The usual answer is a pale backing panel behind the letters, giving the glow a clean surface. Face-and-halo letters are another option, where the lit face does most of the work.

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.

Do you cover smaller places near Armagh as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Armagh itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across County Armagh are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

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

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 there a guide price for halo-lit letters in Armagh?

Yes: £160–£420 per letter + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.
