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 Dalkeith
- With a photocell fitted, a Dalkeith sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for a Dalkeith frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.
- A clinic, showroom or office in Dalkeith or across Edinburgh and the Lothians can match its online brand with lit letters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Dalkeith
A lit sign is the clearest case for applying first. Scotland's 1984 Advertisement Regulations treat illuminated signs differently from unlit ones, and express consent is usually needed for halo-lit letters, lightboxes and lit projecting signs. We check with the council before you commit to illuminated built-up letters, then put together scaled drawings, photo mock-ups and lighting details, which you can submit via eDevelopment.scot or we can submit for you. Expect the council to look at brightness (PLG05 is the usual reference) and to prefer steady light, perhaps on a time switch. The mains connection is completed by an electrician to BS 7671.
