led halo lighting
Custom LED halo lighting is a great way to light up 3D lettering.
The letters are manufactured with LED lights fitted within each letter to point towards the wall, giving a glow around the sign to make it look like it is floating or has a halo.
There is a variety of different results that can be achieved by changing the colour of the lighting and the finish of the halo illumination.
illuminated letters
By creating the logos out of a white or coloured semi-opaque acrylic we have the option to light the whole of the letter.
By adding LED lights into the base of the letter, it’s possible for our team of sign and graphics designers to make your logo glow from every angle.
If you’re looking for eye-catching illuminated signage that REALLY stands out, this is the one for you.
facelit letters
Facelit letters are made with an aluminium body, that is then powder coated to a colour to suit your brand.
They are then faced with a semi-opaque coloured acrylic, with LEDs fitted inside the letter to point to the face, resulting in a front-lit illuminated sign.
These lit lettering signs are great in indoor and outdoor settings.
illuminated sign tray
Made with a folded aluminium tray sign, with a logo, text or shape fret cut out on the face. White or coloured semi-opaque acrylic is then fixed behind this with LED lights fitted inside the tray, resulting in a backlit sign.
They are a hugely impactful yet cost-effective sign.
backlit flexface
Flexface LED backlit signs are suited for larger signs. It is made from an aluminium frame, with LEDs fitted pointing towards the face of the sign.
This is then covered with a printed pvc graphic, stretched tight over the framework. Resulting in a fully backlit and seamless finish.
If you have a giant sign that needs illuminating our LED backlit Flexface signs are great option.n on the marker.
front lit sign
Front lit signs are often illuminated using a trough light. A standard non-illuminated sign is fitted, with lights installed above or below the sign that shines back onto the sign.
These lights can be a super modern, stark led light bar or an artisan style lamp that can give a more traditional feel.
“Motive did a great job of redesigning our signage inside and out”
“We had the pleasure of working with Motive Graphics for the re-design of our internal graphics and signs and external illuminated signage.
From start to finish they were on the ball, and efficient in their correspondence with us. Nothing was every too much trouble, no matter how many times we tweaked things.
Edward was so helpful throughout. We would 100% recommend Motive Graphics. The building looks amazing, thank you!”

illuminated signage faqs
do i need to arrange electrics for my illuminated sign?
Before fitting your sign, our team will ensure the electrics are discussed to make sure we have the correct connections on the day. Sometimes, we will need to pre-fit the electrics, especially on interior signs if the wires need to be concealed in the walls,
can I switch my sign on and off?
- Photocell switch – using a photocell switch on your external illuminated signs is a great way to make sure your sign is always on when it is dark. The photocell will switch the sign on when the light is low outside and off when the sun comes up.
- Timer switch – we can arrange for the sign to be hooked up to a timer switch so you have full. control when it comes on and off. The downside to a timer can be it needs changing as the nights draw in and out.
- Manual switch – we can wire the sign into a standard light switch so you can control when it is on and off. As this is a manual way of switching your illuminated sign on and off, it can mean it is forgotten.
- Integrated into your lighting circuit – For internal LED signs, one of the best ways is to integrate them into your lighting circuit. This means that when the lights are on, so is your sign. IT also means it is one less thing to remember to turn on and off when arriving/leaving the office.
is running an illuminated sign expensive?
All of our illuminated signage, use low energy LED lights that run off of a 12V transformer. While they will cost more to run than their non-illuminated cousins, they are a cheap and eco-friendly option.
