Mounted to glow
Letters sit flush to the wall or on standoffs — flush gives a cleaner, minimal look; standoffs create a more pronounced halo. Either way, opal acrylic behind the face keeps the glow even from edge to edge.

Common questions about backlit and halo-lit signage — materials, pricing, installation, and how it all works.
What's the difference between backlit and halo-lit signs?
Same thing — "backlit" and "halo-lit" are used interchangeably. Both describe signs lit from behind, with light glowing softly around the edges of the letters or logo.
How much does a custom backlit sign cost?
Most backlit signs start around $400 and go up depending on size, letter count, and finish. We'll send a full quote once we've seen your design.
Can backlit signs be installed outdoors?
Yes — backlit signs are one of the most common choices for exterior storefronts. Weatherproofing is built into the design for any outdoor install.
How long does a custom backlit sign take to produce?
Most signs take 2–5 weeks from design sign-off. We'll confirm a timeline once your design is locked.
Do I need a professional installer?
Most clients use their own licensed electrician for final wiring. We provide full mounting specs, and can coordinate installation directly if you'd prefer.
