Illuminated built-up letters are fabricated 3D letters with translucent opal acrylic faces and LED modules inside, so each face glows and your name reads clearly after dark.
Reasons to choose illuminated built-up letters in Arbroath
- Among the fascias of a busy Arbroath street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.
- With a photocell fitted, an Arbroath sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.

Consent for illuminated signs in Arbroath
Illumination brings Scottish signs firmly into the consent process. Under the 1984 Scotland Regulations, internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs usually need express consent; the council decides, and listed buildings or conservation areas add an extra layer, with listed building consent usually required on a listed building. Keep the light static and the luminance within the PLG05 guidance the council is likely to reference. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, while the final connection is made to BS 7671 by an electrician. We confirm the route before you commit and can handle the drawings or the eDevelopment.scot submission.
