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.
03 / 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.
01 / 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.
Edge-lit + back-lit
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
01
Structure
Metal face and returns
Fabricated from aluminum or stainless steel and finished to the approved color or metal finish.
02
Edge System
Illuminated diffusion detail
The edge effect is planned around stroke width, depth, diffusion material, and LED spacing.
03
Rear Lighting
Controlled backlighting
LED placement creates controlled rear illumination through the back and diffusion assembly at the wall interface.
04
Interior
Reflective internal finish
A reflective interior coating improves brightness, distribution, and consistency.
05
Installation
Flush mounting and service access
Flush-mount hardware, wire exits, wall construction, transformer access, and service requirements are confirmed.
04 / 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.
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.
05 / 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.
