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.
Where halo-lit letters can pay off in Horsforth
- A restaurant or wine bar in Horsforth can light its name after dark without a glowing box, using halo letters.
- Where a Horsforth building has pale stone or smooth render, halo lighting shows off the wall rather than hiding it.
- Even a dark-brick unit in Horsforth can carry a crisp halo once the letters sit on a pale backing panel.
What halo-lit letters cost in Horsforth

Consent for illuminated signs in Horsforth
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
