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 Edinburgh
- For an Edinburgh takeaway, gym or bar open into the evening, a lit name turns glances into visits.
- With a photocell fitted, an Edinburgh sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- Among the fascias of a busy Edinburgh street, evenly glowing letters stand out without needing a larger sign.
What illuminated built-up letters cost in Edinburgh
Here is the price picture for illuminated built-up letters in Edinburgh: a guide of £140 to £360 per letter, with VAT on top. The rows below give more detail. A survey or artwork check comes first, and then we confirm the price in writing.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Face-lit letter, 300–600 mm | £140 – £360 | £168 – £432 |

Film that looks black by day and glows white once lit.
Trimless
Faces sit inside a fine metal lip for a sharper edge.
Consent for illuminated signs in Edinburgh
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.
