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.
Halo-lit letters in Swindon: the practical benefits
- Older streets in Swindon may sit within a conservation area, so we check the council's likely view before design starts.
- Offices on a Swindon business park can use halo-lit names on pale cladding to guide winter-evening visitors to reception.
- At a Swindon hotel entrance, brushed steel or brass halo letters read as part of the building's architecture.

Consent for illuminated signs in Swindon
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.
Covering Swindon and Wiltshire
Yes, Swindon is covered, as is the rest of Wiltshire. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. The Swindon postcode districts we quote for include SN1, SN2, SN3 and SN5.
