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.
Lightbox signs in Armagh: the practical benefits
- Businesses with several sites across County Armagh can share one set of artwork, so the Armagh branch matches the rest.
- If an Armagh convenience store or pharmacy has a sound box frame, a new face refreshes the frontage for less.
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Armagh? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.

Consent for illuminated signs in Armagh
Under the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, an illuminated fascia or projecting sign usually needs express consent from the council. Applications go in online via the NI Planning Portal, and the council will tell you its timescale and may set conditions on hours or light levels. PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual brightness benchmark, and flashing is generally out. Listed premises usually need listed building consent alongside. Once installed, the sign is connected to the mains by an electrician to BS 7671, with a certificate for you. We can prepare the drawings or submit the application.
