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 Canary Wharf?
- A restaurant or wine bar in Canary Wharf can light its name after dark without a glowing box, using halo letters.
- Next to bright lightboxes on a Canary Wharf parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.
- Offices on a Canary Wharf business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.

Consent for illuminated signs in Canary Wharf
Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
