Sign lighting is external or retrofitted lighting that makes an existing sign readable after dark: LED trough lights, swan-neck spotlights or wall washers, or LED modules replacing old lightbox tubes.
Reasons to choose sign lighting and LED upgrades in Bangor
- Where flats sit above shops in Bangor, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.
- An old fluorescent lightbox on a Bangor parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.
- Heritage frontages in Bangor may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.

Consent for illuminated signs in Bangor
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.
Covering Bangor and County Down
Wherever you are in County Down, Bangor included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately.
