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.
Why choose sign lighting and LED upgrades for a business in Musselburgh?
- On a retail park outside Musselburgh, wall washers can light the sign and entrance on dark winter afternoons.
- Pubs in Musselburgh with traditional painted boards can add swan-neck spotlights that suit the period look of the frontage.
- For a Musselburgh business watching its budget, lighting the existing sign is a sensible first step into evening trade.

Consent for illuminated signs in Musselburgh
Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.
