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 Broadstairs
- Set back on a retail park outside Broadstairs? Lit letters help drivers pick out the right unit after dark.
- Corner units in Broadstairs can carry matching lit letters on both elevations, wired back to a single time switch.

Options for your Broadstairs project

Faces sit inside a fine metal lip for a sharper edge.

Film that looks black by day and glows white once lit.
Fully lit acrylic
Faces and returns both glow, so letters read well from an angle.
Consent for illuminated signs in Broadstairs
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.
