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 Peebles
- Businesses with several sites across the Scottish Borders can share one set of artwork, so the Peebles branch matches the rest.
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Peebles? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
- Late-opening barbers and cafés in Peebles can use routed faces so only the name glows, for a cleaner look.

Consent for illuminated signs in Peebles
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.
