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.
Good reasons to look at sign lighting and LED upgrades in Inverness
- An old fluorescent lightbox on an Inverness parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.
- A painted fascia on an Inverness high street can stay readable after dark with one slim trough light.
- Heritage frontages in Inverness may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
What sign lighting and LED upgrades cost in Inverness
Guide prices for sign lighting and LED upgrades run from £295 to £1,450 per fascia, excluding VAT. The table below breaks that down; your actual price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed the site or checked the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| LED trough light, up to 3 m | £295 – £750 | £354 – £900 |

| LED retrofit of an old fluorescent lightbox | £295 – £1,450 | £354 – £1,740 |
Fascia length and fitting count drive the price, with access height, the cable route and a timer or photocell added where needed. Glass-neon conversions and very large boxes are quoted individually.

Consent for illuminated signs in Inverness
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.

From the middle of Inverness to the edges of the Highlands and Islands, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. The Inverness postcode districts we quote for include IV1, IV3 and IV2.
