Halo-Lit House Numbers, Back-Lit Stainless Steel Address Numbers

Halo-lit house numbers are address numbers built like our halo-lit channel letters. Each digit is 304 stainless steel, face and returns, with a translucent acrylic back. LEDs inside light the back, and a soft glow spreads on the wall around each number, so your address is easy to read from the street after dark. They are also called backlit, lighted or illuminated address numbers.

They serve two jobs at once. By day they are clean metal numbers in matte black, brushed stainless or brushed gold that suit a modern front door, a garage wall or a gate pillar. At night they help guests, rideshare drivers and deliveries find you, and they help emergency responders read the address quickly.

Many cities and fire departments set rules for address numbers. The International Fire Code, which many US cities adopt, asks for numbers at least 4 in tall with a 1/2 in stroke that contrast with their background. Many cities ask for more, especially when the house sits far from the street, so check your local rule before you choose a size. Our estimator covers digits from 4 in to 16 in tall.

How they work:

• 12 V LEDs in white 6500 K, neutral 4000 K or warm white 3000 K.
• An outdoor power supply or low-voltage transformer, connected by a licensed electrician.
• An optional dusk-to-dawn photocell that switches the numbers on at dusk and off at dawn.
• The power supply and LED modules are UL / cUL listed components.

The numbers mount flush to the wall on studs, with no visible posts. A full-size paper template marks every hole, so the digits end up level and evenly spaced, and the mounting hardware is included. The halo shows best on a smooth, light wall such as stucco, painted siding or light stone.

Pricing is per digit in the estimator; the base covers the power supply and the template. Installation, permits and the electrician's connection are not included.

Send your house number, the height you want, the finish and a photo of the wall. We email a drawing that shows the numbers on your wall, lit, with the exact price, and nothing is built until you approve it.

Check your local address rule first; it may set a minimum height and ask for contrast. Then walk to the street and look back at the wall: numbers that look large at the door can look small from the curb, so go up a size if the house is set back.

Choose the finish for daytime contrast. Matte black reads best on white or light walls. On a dark wall, brushed stainless or brushed gold stands out better. At night the halo makes any finish readable, and warm white suits most homes.

Pick a smooth spot near the door or facing the street, with a route for the power. Add the photocell so the numbers switch on by themselves. Send your number, the wall photo and the height you want.
