My client wants a lobby sign.
Prefer dimensional lettes mounted to wall, or standing off wall, illuminated.
I could access the back of the wall through an office.
Could use track lighting to spot light it, but wanted to know if I could use LED to create halo lettering.

Any ideas?

Hiya Jeff,
I really like Billie's suggestion because it would be simple to execute.
How large are the letters because I don't know if LEDs will fit behind the strokes.
So, off the top of my head, I would entertain fiber optics or acrylic push through letters with some sort of transparent or opaque overlay.

Havin' fun,

The wall size is about 9' wide and 8' tall.
I would guess the sign are would be 36" x 54"
Small letters 3.75" (caps) Large would be 10" caps.

Not sure what Bill means by reverse.. Letters cut out of green acrylic?
Would this be a double panel with one clear panel to mount interior of letters to?

I'm sure Billie will reply. But, I assumed he meant something like this...

 -

It's a special acrylic material that is router cut and edge lit so the cuts will appear to be illuminated.

Havin' fun,

Checkers
