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.
The case for halo-lit letters in South Shields
- Clinics, salons and studios in South Shields wanting an understated frontage can still be seen after dark with halo letters.
- Where a South Shields building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- Next to bright lightboxes on a South Shields parade, a soft halo stands apart by being gentler rather than brighter.

Consent for illuminated signs in South Shields
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.
