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 halo-lit letters can do for businesses in Caldicot
- Offices on a Caldicot business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.
- Where a Caldicot building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- A restaurant or wine bar in Caldicot can light its name after dark without a glowing box, using halo letters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Caldicot
Wales has its own advertisement regulations, and a lit sign is the case where they matter most. Internally illuminated, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent, and on listed buildings or in conservation areas the council is likely to look closely at size, light levels and fixings. Keep illumination static and moderate; PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual reference. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the mains connection still needs an electrician working to BS 7671. We check before you commit and can prepare or submit the consent application.
