How do you look after halo letters?

Clean metal faces gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent a few times a year, avoiding abrasive pads on brushed or mirror finishes. Check the clear backs for trapped dirt or insects. If a halo dims or goes patchy, the driver is the usual suspect.

Can halo letters go on dark brick?

They can, but the halo will be faint because dark surfaces absorb light. The usual answer is a pale backing panel behind the letters, giving the glow a clean surface. Face-and-halo letters are another option, where the lit face does most of the work.

When could work on halo-lit letters go ahead in Caernarfon?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Do you work across Gwynedd or only in Caernarfon?

Across all of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK too. Caernarfon is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Is there a guide price for halo-lit letters in Caernarfon?

Yes: £160–£420 per letter + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

Are halo letters readable from afar?

Less so than face-lit letters, because the face stays dark and you read the shape against the glow. They suit entrances approached on foot, such as hotels, restaurants and receptions. For main roads or tall buildings, face-and-halo letters give more reach.

Halo-lit letters in Caernarfon

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.

Consent for illuminated signs in Caernarfon

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.
