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 the Highlands and Islands?

  • An Inverness restaurant with a covered terrace can use outdoor-rated neon, sealed against rain and hard-wired by an electrician.
  • Gyms and studios in Inverness can put bold neon words on training walls, where the low-voltage flex stays cool.
  • Cafés in Inverness can give customers something worth photographing with a short neon slogan on a feature wall.

Guide prices in the Highlands and Islands

Total flex length drives the price, so dense script costs more than short words. Extra colours, shaped backboards, dimmers or RGB control and hard-wired fitting add to it; larger signs are quoted individually.

LED neon signs in the Highlands and Islands: 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.

LED neon signs in the Highlands and Islands: questions

Can we take the sign to events?

Yes. Interior LED neon is light and plugs into a normal socket, so it travels well to trade shows, launches and pop-ups. A padded case protects the acrylic edges. Some venues ask for portable appliance testing, so check their rules first.

How long does it take to get LED neon signs in Inverness?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

How much should I budget for LED neon signs in Inverness?

As a guide, £245–£1,250 per sign + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Does LED neon get hot?

Only slightly warm. The flex runs at 12 or 24 volts, so it's comfortable to touch and suits places within reach, such as a café wall or salon window. The mains side is in the driver, which should stay ventilated and dry.

Can you copy handwriting?

Yes. A clear scan or photo is traced into a single-line path the flex can follow. Very fine loops and tight joins may be simplified slightly because of the flex's minimum bend radius, and the proof shows exactly how the line will look.

How do I get a quote for LED neon signs in Inverness?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.
