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.
Good reasons to look at halo-lit letters in Harlow
- Older streets in Harlow may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
- At a Harlow hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.
- Offices on a Harlow business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.
What halo-lit letters cost in Harlow
The table shows guide prices for halo-lit letters, starting from £160 and reaching about £420 per letter. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Halo-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £160 – £420 | £192 – £504 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Harlow
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.
