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 Ramsgate
- With a photocell fitted, a Ramsgate sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- Corner units in Ramsgate can carry matching lit letters on both elevations, wired back to a single time switch.
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for a Ramsgate frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.

Consent for illuminated signs in Ramsgate
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.
