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 Waltham Abbey
- Next to bright lightboxes on a Waltham Abbey parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.
- Even a dark-brick unit in Waltham Abbey can carry a crisp halo once the letters sit on a pale backing panel.
- Where a Waltham Abbey building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.

Consent for illuminated signs in Waltham Abbey
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
