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.
Where illuminated built-up letters can pay off in Brighton
- Set back on a retail park outside Brighton? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- For a Brighton takeaway, gym or bar open into the evening, a lit name turns glances into visits.
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for a Brighton frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.

Consent for illuminated signs in Brighton
Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
