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.
Practical reasons to consider halo-lit letters in Wickford
- At a Wickford hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.
- Next to bright lightboxes on a Wickford parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.
- Offices on a Wickford business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.
What halo-lit letters cost in Wickford
Use these figures to budget: £160 to £420 per letter is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Halo-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £160 – £420 | £192 – £504 |
| Typical business name (10–14 letters) | £2,800 – £9,800 | £3,360 – £11,760 |
| Final electrical connection by an electrician | £150 – £350 | £180 – £420 |
Metal and finish matter most: brass, bronze and mirror cost more than painted or brushed. Face-and-halo letters, backing panels, stone drilling and access equipment add to the total.

Consent for illuminated signs in Wickford
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.
