Classic vs Hollywood

WHO CLASSIC IS FOR

Choose Classic if you want light up letters with a clean, streamlined profile. The angled letter ends give a sleeker silhouette than our Hollywood range.

Choose Hollywood instead if you want the chunkier, traditional marquee look — same timber, same gloss white, same bulbs, but with squared block ends.

Choose Rustic if you want natural stained timber rather than gloss.

Choose Aluminium or Steel if the letters need to go outdoors. Our timber ranges are designed for indoor use.

FAQs

What size are your light-up letters to purchase?

Our standard sizes are 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft, and there is no upper limit — we build to the size your space needs. 4ft is our most popular size.

How wide are Classic light up letters?

Widths vary letter by letter — an M is wider than an I. As a guide, a 4ft letter averages around 70cm wide, and we allow approximately 10cm of spacing between letters when setting up. Tell us your word and we'll confirm the total width.

How many letters can run from one socket?

Up to 8 letters can safely daisy-chain from a single socket using the mains leads supplied.

Can Classic letters be used outdoors?

No. Classic letters are made from timber and are designed for indoor use. For outdoor installations we manufacture in aluminium and steel.

What colour bulbs can I have?

Warm white diamond-effect bulbs are fitted as standard. Coloured bulbs are available in red, blue, green and pink, and the cabochon caps can be swapped later if you want to change the colour.

What is the difference between Classic and Hollywood light up letters?

Both ranges are made from timber with a gloss white finish and use the same bulbs. The difference is the letter shape. Classic letters have clean, angled ends for a streamlined look. Hollywood letters have squared block ends, giving a chunkier, more traditional marquee silhouette.

Can I add more letters later?

Yes. Because every set is made to order, we can manufacture additional letters to match an existing set at any point.

Can I buy numbers and symbols as well as letters?

Yes. Numbers, ampersands and symbols are available in the same Classic style and sizes.

How much do your light-up letters cost?

Please contact us for a quote as the price depends on multiple factors including size, font, colour and delivery.
