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 Smethwick
- At a Smethwick hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.
- Older streets in Smethwick may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
- Even a dark-brick unit in Smethwick can carry a crisp halo once the letters sit on a pale backing panel.
What halo-lit letters cost in Smethwick
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For halo-lit letters the range is £160–£420 per letter, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.

Consent for illuminated signs in Smethwick
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.
