A lightbox sign is a shallow enclosed box with a translucent face and LED lighting inside, so the whole panel, or just lettering routed into it, glows evenly at night.
Why choose lightbox signs for a business in Montrose?
- On a dimly lit Montrose side street, a lightbox brings its own light and helps customers find the door.
- Businesses with several sites across Angus and Dundee can share one set of artwork, so the Montrose branch matches the rest.
- When an old fluorescent box above a Montrose shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.

Consent for illuminated signs in Montrose
Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.
