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.
Why choose halo-lit letters for a business in Poole?
- Where a Poole building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- A restaurant or wine bar in Poole can light its name after dark without a glowing box, using halo letters.
- At a Poole hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.

Consent for illuminated signs in Poole
Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.
Covering Poole and Dorset
Wherever you are in Dorset, Poole included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. Addresses in BH15, BH14, BH17 and BH13 are all within our Poole coverage. Poole lies around 4.6 miles west of Bournemouth.
