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.
Illuminated built-up letters in Hastings: the practical benefits
- Set back on a retail park outside Hastings? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- With a photocell fitted, a Hastings sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- A clinic, showroom or office in Hastings or across East Sussex can match its online brand with lit letters.

Options for your Hastings project

Fully lit acrylic
Faces and returns both glow, so letters read well from an angle.
Consent for illuminated signs in Hastings
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
