Can we see the night-time look first?

Yes. The design proof shows the letters to scale on a photo of your building, and a night-time visual can show the lit effect. Where colour is critical, a sample letter or face can be lit for you to check before the full set is made.

How bright should lit letters be?

Bright enough to read clearly without glare. Councils often assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' PLG05 guidance, which sets lower limits in darker, residential areas than in town centres. Dimmable drivers let the output be turned down after fitting if needed.

What is the price of illuminated built-up letters for a business in Dunfermline?

Guide pricing runs from £140 to £360 per letter, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

Can you work to an opening date in Dunfermline?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

What do LED letters cost to run?

Not much, because LED modules draw far less power than older neon and fluorescent signs. The total depends on module count and hours lit. Ask for the total wattage on your quote, and use a time switch so the sign isn't lit overnight.

Do you work across Fife or only in Dunfermline?

Across all of Fife, and the rest of the UK too. Dunfermline is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Consent for illuminated signs in Fife

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.
