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.
What you gain from illuminated projecting signs in Cardiff
- A lit roundel tells people a Cardiff pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
- Chains across South Glamorgan can use one lit roundel design, so a Cardiff site is recognised from the street's end.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Cardiff, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Cardiff
Adding light usually means adding an application. For an exterior illuminated sign in Wales, expect the council to want an express consent application in most cases; the 1992 Regulations (as amended) set the rules, and the council can confirm its timescales and conditions. Expect questions about how bright the sign is and when it is lit: steady light, a time switch or photocell, and luminance kept within the PLG05 guidance all help. We put together scaled drawings, photomontages and lighting details for you, or lodge the application ourselves if you prefer, and an electrician makes the final connection to BS 7671.
