17-foot halo-lit building letters with exposed acrylic backs
Lux Signage Co. supplies custom halo-lit channel letters to U.S. sign companies. This building-identification set was specified at 17 feet wide, with painted gold stainless steel, opal acrylic backs, and stud mounting.
The brief
Building lettering for a renovation.
The customer was coordinating signage as part of a building renovation. They asked Lux for input on technical details while preparing their own application materials, then returned to finalize and place the order.
The production record specified painted gold 304 stainless steel letters with 15 mm opal white acrylic backs and 10 mm of acrylic exposed. The letters were specified for stud mounting with 6500 K rear lighting. The finished workshop photo shows the illuminated rear layer, projecting studs, and a wire lead.
Can a long halo-lit building sign use individual letters with a visible acrylic edge?
Yes. This 17-foot set used individually fabricated letters with an exposed opal acrylic back and stud mounting. If you have artwork, a wall photo, or site requirements, send what you have and Lux can review the letter construction, lighting, and mounting details for your quote.

For sign companies
What to confirm before you quote
Send artwork and any site requirements
Share the layout or logo and any finish references or site requirements you have. Lux can review construction options and carry them into the drawing.
Review the rear details in the shop drawing
If the acrylic edge will be visible, have Lux call out the exposed amount, mounting method, and wire exits so your installer can coordinate the wall and power location.
