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 Tonbridge
- Even a dark-brick unit in Tonbridge can carry a crisp halo once the letters sit on a pale backing panel.
- Offices on a Tonbridge business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.
- Next to bright lightboxes on a Tonbridge parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.

Consent for illuminated signs in Tonbridge
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.
