Metal Fabricated Letters with Acrylic Base | Back Halo-Lit Letters

Traditional back-lit letters without an acrylic base simply leave the back of the metal shell open, which can cast uneven, pixelated dots or sharp LED hot-spots onto the wall if the sign is mounted too close. By seating the fabricated metal letter onto a 15mm–30mm solid cast acrylic base, the acrylic acts as a heavy-duty light diffuser. It captures the internal LED output and spreads it evenly throughout its crystal structure. This ensures a perfectly smooth, continuous, and soft halo ring around each character without any visible hot-spots.

No. The face and returns (sides) of the letters are constructed from solid, commercial-grade metal sheets (such as stainless steel or aluminium) with fully welded seams. Because metal is 100% opaque, it completely blocks any light from escaping forward or sideways. This guarantees that 100% of the lumen output is directed backward through the acrylic base, providing an incredibly sharp front silhouette balanced against a brilliant backing glow.

The choice depends heavily on your background wall surface. A clear, polished acrylic base provides a crisp, punchy, and bright halo throw, which works beautifully on matte or textured walls. An opal or frosted acrylic base pre-diffuses the light even further inside the letter body; this is highly recommended for glossy, mirrored, or highly reflective background surfaces (like polished stone or glass) because it prevents the reflection of individual LED nodes from mirroring on the wall.

Yes, these signs are built to commercial architectural facade standards. The metal shells are fully rust-resistant (utilizing marine-grade 316 stainless steel or anti-corrosive treated aluminium), and the internal LED modules are IP67-rated waterproof configurations. The structural bond between the metal return and the acrylic base is deeply sealed with industrial-grade, weather-resistant adhesives. Additionally, micro-drainage channels are engineered into the lowest points of the letters to prevent condensation or moisture entrapment during extreme temperature shifts.

To ensure a precise and expedited quotation, please provide the following details:

1. A complete vector artwork file (.AI, .EPS, or .PDF format) outlining the typography or logo with your desired overall height and width.
2. Your choice of metal material and surface finish (e.g., Brushed Gold Titanium, Mirror Polished Silver, or a specific 2pac powder coat color).
3. The mounting surface texture/material (e.g., plasterboard, concrete, timber, or glass) and whether you prefer a flush or stand-off spacer installation.
4. The environmental placement (Fully Indoor or Exposed Outdoor Facade) along with your project’s regional location to match local electrical compliance standards.
