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.
Where sign lighting and LED upgrades can pay off in Coleraine
- Heritage frontages in Coleraine may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
- Where flats sit above shops in Coleraine, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.
- For a Coleraine business watching its budget, lighting the existing sign is a sensible first step into evening trade.

Consent for illuminated signs in Coleraine
Expect to apply if you want light. In Northern Ireland, express consent is usually required for exterior illuminated signs under the 2015 NI Regulations, and the council is likely to consider brightness, hours and appearance, particularly in conservation areas or on listed buildings. We prepare the scaled drawings, lighting details and photo mock-ups for an NI Planning Portal application, or submit it on your behalf. Keep illumination static and within the PLG05 guidance, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. The mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671.
