Can sign lighting be dimmed?

Yes, if dimmable drivers or fittings are specified. Dimming lets the brightness be set on site to suit the street, which helps where a consent condition limits brightness or neighbours live close by. Fixed-output fittings can't be dimmed later without swapping drivers.

Do trough lights work on raised letters?

Yes, though they cast small shadows below each letter, which can add depth. Fittings on longer arms soften the shadows, and the survey checks the letter depth and projection so the wash still reaches the lower part of the sign.

What will an LED retrofit save?

It depends on the old tubes, the hours lit and your electricity rate, but LED modules draw much less power for the same face. There are no tubes, starters or ballasts to replace either. Ask for old and new wattages to compare.

Why is there a price range for sign lighting and LED upgrades rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £295 to £1,450 per fascia + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Armagh.

Is Armagh inside your coverage area for sign lighting and LED upgrades?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Armagh and every part of County Armagh are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Can you work to an opening date in Armagh?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

Consent for illuminated signs in Armagh

Under the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, an illuminated fascia or projecting sign usually needs express consent from the council. Applications go in online via the NI Planning Portal, and the council will tell you its timescale and may set conditions on hours or light levels. PLG05 from the Institution of Lighting Professionals is the usual brightness benchmark, and flashing is generally out. Listed premises usually need listed building consent alongside. Once installed, the sign is connected to the mains by an electrician to BS 7671, with a certificate for you. We can prepare the drawings or submit the application.
