Who carries out the work on sign lighting and LED upgrades in Crieff?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

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.

How much should I budget for sign lighting and LED upgrades in Crieff?

As a guide, £295–£1,450 per fascia + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Is there a typical lead time for sign lighting and LED upgrades in Crieff?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Can you light a sign someone else made?

Yes. External lighting works with most fascias, tray signs and lettering. The survey checks the wall above can take the fixings, the sign's finish will light well and there's a practical route for power. Old lightboxes are assessed for an LED retrofit instead.

Do trough lights work on raised letters?

Yes, though they cast small shadows below each letter, which can add depth. Fittings on longer arms soften the shadows, and the survey checks the letter depth and projection so the wash still reaches the lower part of the sign.

Consent for illuminated signs in Crieff

Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.
