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.
Sign lighting and LED upgrades in Penicuik: the practical benefits
- Where flats sit above shops in Penicuik, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.
- On a retail park outside Penicuik, wall washers can light the sign and entrance on dark winter afternoons.
- Closing before the Penicuik evening rush? A timer keeps the sign lit while commuters pass, then switches off.

Consent for illuminated signs in Penicuik
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.
