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 Portishead
- Taking over a franchise or a new lease in Portishead? A replacement face keeps the existing box and wiring.
- Businesses with several sites across Somerset can share one set of artwork, so the Portishead branch matches the rest.
- When an old fluorescent box above a Portishead shop flickers, an LED conversion can cost far less than a new sign.

Consent for illuminated signs in Portishead
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.
