Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose halo lit over front lit letters?+

How far from the wall are halo letters mounted?+
Standoffs are usually set between 1in and 2in from the wall to control the width of the halo glow.
Do halo letters work well on dark-colored walls?+
Yes, the glow effect actually shows up strongly on darker brick, stucco, or painted walls.
