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.
Reasons to choose sign lighting and LED upgrades in Manchester
- An old fluorescent lightbox on a Manchester parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.
- Heritage frontages in Manchester may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
- On a retail park outside Manchester, wall washers can light the sign and entrance on dark winter afternoons.

Consent for illuminated signs in Manchester
Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.
Covering Manchester and Greater Manchester
Yes, Manchester is covered, as is the rest of Greater Manchester. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together.
