Halo-lit specialists - free to-scale proof in 24 hours

Solid metal faces. A glow that does the talking.

We build one thing: reverse-lit halo signage. Brushed stainless, blackened aluminium, brass and painted returns on standoffs, with a soft LED wash on the wall behind - for lobbies, fascias, restaurants and suite doors.

Where halo lighting belongs

Walls where a lit face would be too loud and an unlit sign would disappear.

Halo-lit is all we do

One process, refined — from return depth to standoff distance to the wall behind it.

Reverse-lit letters, built one way: properly

Every sign leaves here as a fabricated metal letter with a closed face, welded returns and LED inside — never a flat plate with a strip taped behind it. That is the difference between a clean ring of light and a patchy one.

  • Welded aluminium or stainless returns, 40–75mm deep
  • Faces in 304 brushed stainless, blackened or painted aluminium, solid brass
  • Sealed IP65 builds with weep holes for exterior walls

The halo, engineered for your wall

A halo is a lighting problem, not a sign problem. We set return depth, standoff distance, LED density and colour temperature against your wall's colour, texture and reflectance so the glow lands even from edge to edge.

  • 12–50mm standoffs specified per surface, not by default
  • 2200K–6500K white, or a colour-matched halo
  • Dimmable drivers so the glow suits day and night levels

Any word, any scale

Cut from your vector artwork with no tooling charges — a 75mm suite number and a 1.5m fascia letter run through the same shop, in the same finish family, so a whole building matches.

  • 75mm mini lettering through 1.5m exterior fascia letters
  • Logos, icons, crests and irregular outlines as single shapes
  • Matched packages: lobby, wayfinding, doors and exterior together

Every halo-lit build we make

Starting points, made to your artwork, finish and cap height — all reverse-lit, all shipped ready to mount.

Why halo signs fail — and how we stop it

Halo lighting exposes every shortcut: shallow returns give hot spots, cheap standoffs sag, and unsealed backs let moisture reach the LED tape. We over-spec all three, then light every sign on the bench for 24 hours before it is crated.

Questions, answered

All FAQs
What exactly is a halo-lit sign?

A halo-lit (or reverse-lit) sign has a solid, unlit metal face with LEDs mounted inside the letter facing backwards. The light washes the wall behind, so you see the letter as a silhouette ringed in glow. Nothing shines at the viewer, which is why it photographs so well.

How far off the wall do the letters sit?

Usually 12–50mm on stainless standoffs. Closer gives a tight, crisp ring; further gives a soft, wide wash. We recommend a distance based on your wall's colour and texture, and you can see it in the proof before we build.

Will the halo look even on a textured or dark wall?

Yes, with the right spec. Dark and heavily textured surfaces absorb light, so we increase LED density and often push the standoff distance out. That is exactly the judgement call a halo specialist makes and a general sign shop guesses at.

What does a halo sign cost?

Interior lobby lettering typically lands between $900 and $2,500 depending on cap height and letter count; suite numbers and door signage start around $349, and exterior fascia sets run higher. Send your wording and we return fixed pricing with the free proof.

Can I get halo letters for outdoors?

Yes. Exterior builds use sealed IP65 returns, gasketed backs, weep holes for drainage and outdoor-rated drivers, with marine-grade fixings for coastal sites.

Do you install?

Signs ship crated with a full-size paper mounting template, studs, standoffs, driver and a wiring diagram, which suits any electrician or handy installer. Installation can be quoted for projects in the Pacific Northwest and Lower Mainland.

Can you match my brand colour and font?

Faces are cut from your vector artwork in your exact font, and finished in any RAL or Pantone. Halo colour temperature is chosen separately so the daytime face colour and nighttime glow both read correctly.

Backlit metal letters. Nothing else, done perfectly.

One process, done properly: solid metal faces, an even halo, and hardware that keeps it level for a decade.
