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.
What lightbox signs can do for businesses in Gloucester
- When an old fluorescent box above a Gloucester shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.
- Late-opening barbers and cafés in Gloucester can use routed faces so only the name glows, for a cleaner look.
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Gloucester? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
What lightbox signs cost in Gloucester
The table shows guide prices for lightbox signs, starting from £1,250 and reaching about £4,800 per lightbox. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.

|---|---|---|
| Lightbox up to 3 m, printed face | £1,250 – £2,650 | £1,500 – £3,180 |

Consent for illuminated signs in Gloucester
Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
