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.
Where lightbox signs can pay off in Abertillery
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Abertillery? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
- An Abertillery takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.
- Where an Abertillery shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.

Consent for illuminated signs in Abertillery
Adding light usually means adding an application. For an exterior illuminated sign in Wales, expect the council to want an express consent application in most cases; the 1992 Regulations (as amended) set the rules, and the council can confirm its timescales and conditions. Expect questions about how bright the sign is and when it is lit: steady light, a time switch or photocell, and luminance kept within the PLG05 guidance all help. We put together scaled drawings, photomontages and lighting details for you, or lodge the application ourselves if you prefer, and an electrician makes the final connection to BS 7671.
