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.

Where sign lighting and LED upgrades can pay off in Fulham

  • A painted fascia on a Fulham high street can stay readable after dark with one slim trough light.
  • Closing before the Fulham evening rush? A timer keeps the sign lit while commuters pass, then switches off.
  • Where flats sit above shops in Fulham, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.

Consent for illuminated signs in Fulham

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.

Sign lighting and LED upgrades in Fulham: questions

What will an LED retrofit save?

It depends on the old tubes, the hours lit and your electricity rate, but LED modules draw much less power for the same face. There are no tubes, starters or ballasts to replace either. Ask for old and new wattages to compare.

Is Fulham inside your coverage area for sign lighting and LED upgrades?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Fulham and every part of Greater London are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Will the lights bother the flats above?

They shouldn't if chosen and aimed well. Downward-facing fittings with cut-off optics keep light on the sign and out of the windows above, warm white looks softer than cool white, and a time switch turns everything off at a sensible hour.

Can lighting be added to a rented shop?

Usually, with your landlord's written agreement, as most leases control fixings on the outside of the building. Advertisement consent may also be needed, and an electrician connects the lights to BS 7671. Fittings can be removed when the lease ends, and holes made good.

Why is there a price range for sign lighting and LED upgrades rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £295 to £1,450 per fascia + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Fulham.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on sign lighting and LED upgrades happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Fulham once materials are ordered.
