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 Bedford?
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Bedford? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
- Where a Bedford shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.
- Businesses with several sites across Bedfordshire can share one set of artwork, so the Bedford branch matches the rest.

Consent for illuminated signs in Bedford
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
