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 Farnborough: the practical benefits
- Where flats sit above shops in Farnborough, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.
- An old fluorescent lightbox on a Farnborough parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.
- On a retail park outside Farnborough, wall washers can light the sign and entrance on dark winter afternoons.

Consent for illuminated signs in Farnborough
Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
