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.
Good reasons to look at lightbox signs in Luton
- When an old fluorescent box above a Luton shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.
- Where a Luton shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.
- A Luton takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.

Consent for illuminated signs in Luton
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.
