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 Eastbourne: the practical benefits
- On a dimly lit Eastbourne side street, a lightbox brings its own light and helps customers find the door.
- Businesses with several sites across East Sussex can share one set of artwork, so the Eastbourne branch matches the rest.
- Where an Eastbourne shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.
What lightbox signs cost in Eastbourne
Guide prices start from £1,250 and go up to £4,800 per lightbox, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.

Consent for illuminated signs in Eastbourne
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.
