Halo Back-Lit Letters in Birmingham, AL
Halo back-lit letters (also called reverse channel letters) shine light out the back of each letter onto the wall behind it, creating a glowing outline instead of a lit face. Reliable Sign Services designs, fabricates, and installs halo-lit letters for businesses, medical offices, and churches across the Birmingham metro.
The effect is subtle and upscale, which suits professional offices, restaurants, and churches that want a clean look by day and a soft glow at night. Every illuminated sign we build uses UL-listed parts.
Halo-Lit Letters vs Front-Lit Letters
- Halo-lit: the letter face is solid and light washes the wall behind it.
- Front-lit: light shines through a translucent face for maximum brightness. See lighted letters.
- Combination: some signs use both front and halo lighting.
We will recommend the right option based on your wall, viewing distance, and local sign code.
