Our clients

Where Our Clients See Value

When your business has light up letters, people gravitate towards them. They photograph them, tag them and share them — turning your space into a content opportunity. For example, our client Birkbeck, University of London has used a simple set of three letters to elevate their graduation ceremonies. The result? Students sharing photos across social media, capturing genuine moments of celebration. For prospective students, those images — real people, real experiences, huge smiles — say far more than a brochure ever could. It’s authentic proof of the experience your brand delivers.

Why Our Light Up Letters Are Different from Cheap Alternatives

When purchasing light up letters, quality makes a significant difference — not just in appearance, but in durability, safety and overall impact.

We regularly hear from customers who have previously purchased cheaper light up letters that didn’t meet expectations. Common issues include poor build quality, unstable structures, low-grade materials and unreliable electrics, all of which can affect both the look and longevity of the letters.

At Ray of Light Events, our light up letters are designed and manufactured to a professional standard. Each unit is handcrafted in our Lincolnshire workshop using high-quality materials, ensuring a strong, stable and visually striking finish. Our letters are built to withstand repeated use, making them ideal for venues, corporate environments and long-term installations.

We also prioritise safety, with fully enclosed backs and PAT-tested electrical components, giving you complete peace of mind when using our products in public or commercial settings.

While lower-cost options may seem appealing initially, investing in premium light up letters ensures a more reliable, professional and long-lasting solution — helping you avoid costly replacements and ensuring your display looks exactly as intended.

FAQs

Are your light-up letters suitable for outdoor use?

Our light up letters can be purchased for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor use, we manufacture our letters in steel, making them more durable and weather-resistant — this is a more premium option.

We do not recommend using wooden letters in wet, rainy or windy conditions.
