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.
Practical reasons to consider sign lighting and LED upgrades in Croydon
- A painted fascia on a Croydon high street can stay readable after dark with one slim trough light.
- An old fluorescent lightbox on a Croydon parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.
- For a Croydon business watching its budget, lighting the existing sign is a sensible first step into evening trade.

Consent for illuminated signs in Croydon
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
