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.
Practical reasons to consider lightbox signs in Didcot
- When an old fluorescent box above a Didcot shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.
- A Didcot takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.
- Businesses with several sites across Oxfordshire can share one set of artwork, so the Didcot branch matches the rest.
What lightbox signs cost in Didcot
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 Didcot
Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.
