Halo-lit letters
Dimensional letters that glow from behind, casting a soft halo on the mounting wall. The premium illuminated letter standard.
When halo-lit is the right call
If the sign will be seen primarily at dusk or night — and it needs to feel premium during the day — halo-lit is almost always the answer. It is the most deliberate-looking illuminated letter variant, because the light is implied rather than shouted.
The tradeoff: halo-lit letters are the least legible variant at long viewing distances in bright daylight. For drive-by signage on a busy road during the day, face-lit delivers more raw legibility.
What we build
Every halo-lit system we fabricate is a complete package: the letter returns, LED modules pre-wired and tested, standoffs, a power supply sized for the load, and a weather-rated junction box. Installation is a single visit for a licensed electrician plus our install crew.
Letter returns are 1.5mm-3mm aluminum or stainless, folded on a CNC brake. Faces are typically 3mm aluminum, matte-painted or powder-coated. For premium estate or winery work, we offer solid brass or stainless faces with aged finishes.
Illumination spec
We use high-density LED modules rated for 50,000+ hours, typically at 2700K or 3000K warm white for hospitality applications, 4000K neutral for commercial. Colour-matched signage is available in any RAL colour; RGB with WiFi control is supported for installations that want dynamic colour scenes.
Power supply is low-voltage (12V or 24V), UL-listed, installed in a weather-rated disconnect enclosure adjacent to the sign or recessed into the wall.

Back-lit letters
Letters with an opaque face and illuminated back — a sculpted light source mounted flush to the wall. Subtle, architectural.
Face-lit letters
Translucent-face letters that transmit light forward. Highest daytime legibility. The standard for commercial and retail.
Fabricated stainless letters
Built-up stainless steel letterforms with folded returns. Sculptural, architectural, non-illuminated. The quiet luxury of signage.
