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 Newport
- A Newport takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.
- Where a Newport shop has a long fascia, a flex-faced box spans it without the joins rigid acrylic sheets need.
- Businesses with several sites across Gwent can share one set of artwork, so the Newport branch matches the rest.

Consent for illuminated signs in Newport
Wales has its own advertisement regulations, and a lit sign is the case where they matter most. Internally illuminated, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent, and on listed buildings or in conservation areas the council is likely to look closely at size, light levels and fixings. Keep illumination static and moderate; PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual reference. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the mains connection still needs an electrician working to BS 7671. We check before you commit and can prepare or submit the consent application.
