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

Consent for illuminated signs in Kirkcaldy
Illumination brings Scottish signs firmly into the consent process. Under the 1984 Scotland Regulations, internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs usually need express consent; the council decides, and listed buildings or conservation areas add an extra layer, with listed building consent usually required on a listed building. Keep the light static and the luminance within the PLG05 guidance the council is likely to reference. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, while the final connection is made to BS 7671 by an electrician. We confirm the route before you commit and can handle the drawings or the eDevelopment.scot submission.
