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 Colne
- A Colne takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.
- On a dimly lit Colne side street, a lightbox brings its own light and helps customers find the door.
- When an old fluorescent box above a Colne shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.

Consent for illuminated signs in Colne
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.
