An LED neon sign is a logo or lettering formed from flexible LED tube that imitates glass neon, running at 12 or 24 volts and usually mounted on an acrylic backboard.
Why choose LED neon signs in Argyll and Bute?
- Keeping neon inside and static is usually the simpler route for a Helensburgh shop within a conservation area.
- Cafés in Helensburgh can give customers something worth photographing with a short neon slogan on a feature wall.
- A Helensburgh restaurant with a covered terrace can use outdoor-rated neon, sealed against rain and hard-wired by an electrician.

LED neon signs in Argyll and Bute: permission and rules
A neon sign on an inside wall, away from the windows, is usually outside advertisement control. Once it's visible from the street, on a fascia, canopy or just behind the glass, it can count as an illuminated advertisement. In England, lit signs get only limited deemed consent, and none in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control; an express consent decision usually takes up to 8 weeks. Keep street-facing signs static. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own regulations. We can prepare the drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
Options worth considering
Wall-mounted sign
On stand-offs through a clear or coloured acrylic board.
Window-hung sign
Suspended on fine wires just behind the glass, facing out.
Colour-changing RGB
One sign, many colours, set from a remote controller.
