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 Perth
- When an old fluorescent box above a Perth shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Perth? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
- A Perth takeaway trading mostly after dark keeps its name and number readable with a fully lit face.

Consent for illuminated signs in Perth
A lit sign is the clearest case for applying first. Scotland's 1984 Advertisement Regulations treat illuminated signs differently from unlit ones, and express consent is usually needed for halo-lit letters, lightboxes and lit projecting signs. We check with the council before you commit to lightbox signs, then put together scaled drawings, photo mock-ups and lighting details, which you can submit via eDevelopment.scot or we can submit for you. Expect the council to look at brightness (PLG05 is the usual reference) and to prefer steady light, perhaps on a time switch. The mains connection is completed by an electrician to BS 7671.
