Size & Depth

Depth-to-stroke guidance for production planning.

Halo-lit letters require enough stroke width to accommodate the return depth, LED layout, diffusion material, wiring, and structural hardware.

Planning Rule Thicker strokes support deeper letters.

Thin strokes may require a shallower build, artwork adjustment, or alternate production method. Final depth is confirmed after reviewing the logo, size, LED layout, and installation requirements.

Viewing Distance Impacts sizing

Exterior signs and high-traffic locations generally require larger letter heights for visibility.

Shipping & Handling Reviewed early

Oversized letters, delicate details, and multi-location orders are planned before production.

Construction

Built around artwork, structure, lighting, and installation.

Each Halo-lit project is reviewed before production so the approved sign can be fabricated accurately and installed with fewer surprises.

Metal face and returns

Fabricated from aluminum or stainless steel and finished to the approved color.

02
Illuminated edge detail

The visible edge glow is planned around stroke width, depth, and diffusion material.

03
Rear backlighting

LED placement is planned to create a soft rear glow behind each letter or logo.

04
Reflective interior

A reflective interior helps create cleaner and more consistent illumination.

05
Hardware and access

Mounting hardware, wiring access, wall surface, and service requirements are reviewed.
