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.
Reasons to choose halo-lit letters in Risca
- Next to bright lightboxes on a Risca parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.
- Older streets in Risca may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
- A restaurant or wine bar in Risca can light its name after dark without a glowing box, using halo letters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Risca
Adding light usually means adding an application. For an exterior illuminated sign in Wales, expect the council to want an express consent application in most cases; the 1992 Regulations (as amended) set the rules, and the council can confirm its timescales and conditions. Expect questions about how bright the sign is and when it is lit: steady light, a time switch or photocell, and luminance kept within the PLG05 guidance all help. We put together scaled drawings, photomontages and lighting details for you, or lodge the application ourselves if you prefer, and an electrician makes the final connection to BS 7671.
