Production Notes

Letter Style

Halo-lit Channel Letters

Visible illuminated edge combined with soft rear backlighting.

Letter Height

Custom by project

Determined by artwork, viewing distance, wall area, and brand standards.

Letter Depth

Matched to stroke width

Must accommodate LEDs, diffusion material, structure, and wiring.

Stroke Width

Reviewed before approval

Thin strokes may require shallower construction or artwork adjustment.

Face & Returns

Aluminum or stainless steel

Selected according to size, finish, environment, and structural requirements.

Diffusion Material

Acrylic or polycarbonate

Controls the illuminated edge and rear-lighting performance.

LED System

White, color, or RGB

Output and color are selected around the required visual effect.

Mounting

Generally flush mounted

Flush-mount hardware and concealed wiring are planned around wall type, letter size, access, and installer requirements.

3 / Size & Depth

Depth-to-stroke planning guide.

Halo-lit letters require enough stroke width to accommodate return depth, LEDs, diffusion material, wiring, structure, and mounting hardware.

Critical Planning Rule Deeper letters require thicker strokes.

Thin strokes may require shallower construction, artwork adjustment, or an alternate fabrication method.

Final depth is confirmed after reviewing artwork, letter size, LED layout, and mounting requirements.

Letter Depth

Stroke Width

Planning Reference

1-1/4" to 2"

3/8" to 3/4"

Smaller interior letters, detailed logos, and shallow-profile builds.

1.57" to 3.15"

3/4" to 2.36"

Commercial letters, lobby signage, and storefront branding.

2.36" to 4"

2.36" to 3.15"

Larger exterior letters and deeper illuminated profiles.

3.15" to 5.9"

3.15" to 4.7"

Large-format signage and oversized brand elements.

Letter Height Custom by project

Provide overall width, target letter height, wall dimensions, or brand-standard drawings.

Viewing Distance Affects overall sizing

Greater viewing distances generally require taller letters and heavier visual strokes.

Oversized Elements Reviewed before fabrication

Large letters may require sectional construction, reinforcement, or specialized shipping.

1 / Construction

How the Halo-lit system is built.

Compare the side-profile construction with the finished illuminated appearance, followed by the key fabrication stages.

Technical View Side-profile construction

The letter assembly is generally mounted flush to the wall, with wiring and fastening hardware concealed behind or within the letter.

Gold Halo-lit letter with illuminated edge and rear glow — Finished Effect **Visible edge with rear glow**

The metal face remains visually dominant while the illuminated edge and rear halo add depth to the finished letter.

Front Metal face and returns

Edge Illuminated diffusion detail

Rear Backlighting and flush wall interface

Structure Metal face and returns

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

Edge System Illuminated diffusion detail

The edge effect is planned around stroke width, depth, diffusion material, and LED spacing.

Rear Lighting Controlled backlighting

LED placement creates controlled rear illumination through the back and diffusion assembly at the wall interface.

Interior Reflective internal finish

A reflective interior coating improves brightness, distribution, and consistency.

Installation Flush mounting and service access

Flush-mount hardware, wire exits, wall construction, transformer access, and service requirements are confirmed.

4 / Lighting

Edge illumination with controlled rear glow.

LED placement, diffusion, wall interface, power access, wire routing, and service access are reviewed before fabrication.

Lighting Configuration Edge‑lit + back‑lit illumination

A visible illuminated edge is combined with soft rear backlighting.

Visible edge glow Rear halo effect Project-specific output

LED Color White, color, or RGB

Warm white, neutral white, cool white, RGB, and custom options are available.

Power Supply Location and access

Load, transformer location, accessibility, and service requirements are reviewed.

Wire Exits Confirmed before fabrication

Pass-through points, cable routing, and installer notes are confirmed early.

Wall Interface Generally flush mounted

Wall flatness, finish, and surface conditions affect fit, light control, and the consistency of the rear-lighting effect.

5 / Materials & Finish

Materials selected around illumination, durability, and brand standards.

Metal selection, diffusion material, finish, environment, mounting, and lighting are coordinated as one complete system.

Face & Returns Aluminum or 304 stainless steel

Selected around letter size, structural requirements, weight, environment, finish, and fabrication method.

Diffusion Material Acrylic or polycarbonate

Controls the visible illuminated edge, rear-light distribution, brightness, and finished lighting consistency.

Paint Finish PMS or custom color

Brand colors, paint references, and project-specific standards are reviewed and confirmed before fabrication.

Metal Finish Brushed, polished, painted, or custom

Finish availability depends on the selected metal, letter geometry, scale, environment, and fabrication method.

Interior Finish Reflective white coating

Improves internal LED reflection, brightness, distribution, and consistency across the illuminated edge.

Environment Interior or exterior

Exterior applications are reviewed for sealing, durability, drainage, wiring protection, and mounting conditions.
