An illuminated projecting sign is a double-sided sign fixed at right angles to the building on a bracket, with LEDs inside or behind it, so people approaching along the pavement can read it.
Illuminated projecting signs in Dunbar: the practical benefits
- Chains across Edinburgh and the Lothians can use one lit roundel design, so a Dunbar site is recognised from the street's end.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Dunbar, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
- A lit roundel tells people a Dunbar pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.

Consent for illuminated signs in Dunbar
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.
