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 Penicuik

- Where a Penicuik building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- A restaurant or wine bar in Penicuik can light its name after dark without a glowing box, using halo letters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Penicuik
Illumination brings Scottish signs firmly into the consent process. Under the 1984 Scotland Regulations, internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs usually need express consent; the council decides, and listed buildings or conservation areas add an extra layer, with listed building consent usually required on a listed building. Keep the light static and the luminance within the PLG05 guidance the council is likely to reference. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, while the final connection is made to BS 7671 by an electrician. We confirm the route before you commit and can handle the drawings or the eDevelopment.scot submission.
