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.
The case for lightbox signs in Newry
- Late-opening barbers and cafés in Newry can use routed faces so only the name glows, for a cleaner look.
- Where a Newry shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.
- If a Newry convenience store or pharmacy has a sound box frame, a new face refreshes the frontage for less.

Consent for illuminated signs in Newry
Light changes the consent position. Under Northern Ireland's 2015 Advertisement Regulations, internally lit, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent from the council, applied for online through the NI Planning Portal. A listed building usually needs listed building consent as well. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the final mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671, who certifies the circuit. Councils commonly refer to PLG05 for brightness and expect steady rather than flashing light. We check before you commit to lightbox signs and can prepare or submit the application.

If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Roughly 43 miles separate Newry from Bangor, which lies to the north-east.
