The steel grade, back seal quality, and how far the letter sits off the wall determines whether that halo is a tight crisp line or a muddy light bleed.
Grade 201 SS indoor only. 1.0mm shell. Open back — LED escapes sideways, creating light bleed. Spray painted. Generic SMD. Flush on wall — no real halo effect.
Grade 304 outdoor. 1.2mm laser welded. Closed aluminium back — directs all light backward for clean defined halo. Tier-1 warm white 3000K. 30mm standoff — proper halo formation. Named-brand CE driver.
Grade 316 coastal. 1.5mm TIG welded + CNC ground. Adjustable depth spacers for on-site halo control. Samsung equiv 3000K/4000K selectable. 50mm standoff — dramatic wide halo. Electroplated gold/rose/black titanium. Meanwell driver.

3D metal letters with LED behind creating a glowing halo on the wall. Light doesn't shine through the face — it spills backward.
Open: light escapes sideways = messy bleed. Closed aluminium: directs ALL light backward = clean defined halo.
Flush: no halo. 30mm: clean tight halo. 50mm: wide dramatic wash. Elite has adjustable spacers for on-site fine-tuning.
3000K warm white: most popular for hospitality. 4000K neutral: corporate. Elite offers selectable 3K/4K
Grade 316 — no exceptions. 201 rusts in 18 months, 304 corrodes in 3–5 years near salt air.
Brushed gold, rose gold, black titanium via PVD. Durable, scratch-resistant, does not peel like paint.
Yes. All vinyl signs are custom made and shipped tracked to any address in Australia — Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and regional areas. Signs are packed flat with protective backing to prevent damage during transit.
Dark walls (charcoal, navy, black, dark timber) create the strongest contrast. Light walls show a subtle effect.
Tell us your wall colour, letter height, and whether it is indoor or coastal — we recommend the right grade, standoff, and colour temperature.
