LED contour lighting has become an established way for brands, architects and designers to transform buildings and structures through distinctive, energy-efficient illumination.
From outlining a retail fascia or service station canopy to creating dynamic colour-changing effects and smooth wall-wash illumination, LED contour lighting helps turn architectural features into recognisable visual statements.
At Visive Group, our UK-designed and manufactured Hi-Lite™30 family offers a range of specialist LED contour and wash-lighting solutions, giving customers the flexibility to achieve different lighting effects while maintaining a consistent approach to design and installation.
What Is LED Contour Lighting?
LED contour lighting uses illuminated linear profiles to define the edges, outlines and architectural features of buildings and structures.
Often referred to as LED border lighting or LED border tubing, these systems are particularly effective where consistent illumination, brand recognition and architectural appearance are important.
Unlike conventional individual luminaires, LED contour tubes create continuous illuminated lines that can follow rooflines, fascias, canopies, entrances and other architectural details.
For international brands operating across multiple locations, the result is a distinctive and recognisable appearance that helps reinforce brand identity both during the day and after dark.
One LED Contour Lighting Family, Multiple Effects
Not every building or brand requires the same lighting effect. That’s why Visive has developed the Hi-Lite™30 family, offering different colour characteristics and illumination options within a specialist 30mm lighting range.
Hi-Lite™30 Classic — Vibrant Brand Illumination
Combining coloured LEDs with an acrylic profile, Classic delivers intense, vibrant illumination for building outlines and branded architectural features.
It is particularly suited to applications where strong, consistent illuminated brand colours are essential.
Hi-Lite™30 Border — Versatile LED Border Lighting
Border combines white LEDs with coloured acrylic to create an even, distinctive illuminated outline.
Available in seven standard colours, it provides a versatile lighting solution for commercial building elevations, canopies and brand features.
Hi-Lite™30 Chroma — A Different Appearance by Day and Night
Chroma combines a white acrylic profile with coloured LEDs, providing a clean, neutral appearance during daylight and softer coloured illumination after dark.
This makes it particularly suitable for projects where daytime architectural appearance is just as important as night-time illumination.
Hi-Lite™30 Duo — Two Colours, One Profile
Duo allows two distinct colours to be displayed simultaneously within a single LED contour tube.
Developed for demanding international branding applications, including Shell installations, Duo creates a distinctive dual-colour lighting effect without requiring separate profiles for each colour.
Hi-Lite™30 Harlequin — Dynamic RGB Colour Control
For projects requiring changing colours and programmable lighting effects, Harlequin combines RGB LEDs with a white acrylic profile.
With appropriate DMX control, colours and effects can be programmed to support events, seasonal campaigns and changing architectural requirements.
Hi-Lite™30 Wash — Smooth, Consistent Surface Illumination
While traditional LED contour lighting defines the outline of a structure, Hi-Lite™30 Wash is designed to illuminate the adjacent surface.
Its specialist internal lens projects an even wash of light upwards or downwards across fascia’s, walls and architectural features.
Available in fixed-colour and RGB options, Wash extends the Hi-Lite™30 family’s capabilities beyond illuminated outlines into controlled surface illumination.
Designed for Brands, Buildings and Commercial Environments
Hi-Lite™30 lighting products are used in a variety of commercial applications, including:
Service station canopies and forecourt branding
Retail fascia’s and illuminated shopfronts
Restaurants, hotels and leisure facilities
Building outlines and architectural features
Branded commercial premises and multi-site estates
With more than two decades of experience in LED contour lighting, Visive understands the importance of consistent illumination, straightforward installation, energy efficiency and dependable long-term performance.
Our products are designed and manufactured at our headquarters in Wrexham, UK, supporting both individual projects and international brand programmes.
Intelligent Control with Sygnest
Lighting performance isn’t only about the illuminated effect. How lighting is operated and maintained is also important.
For compatible installations, Sygnest, Visive Group’s manufacturer-independent smart infrastructure platform, provides remote monitoring, scheduling, dimming, energy reporting and system health information.
This enables operators to manage lighting more efficiently across individual locations or complete estates, helping reduce unnecessary energy consumption and improve operational visibility.
