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 Newton Abbot
- Heritage frontages in Newton Abbot may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
- Where flats sit above shops in Newton Abbot, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.
- Pubs in Newton Abbot with traditional painted boards can add swan-neck spotlights that suit the period look of the frontage.

Consent for illuminated signs in Newton Abbot
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.
