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 Stoke-on-Trent
- Heritage frontages in Stoke-on-Trent may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
- Closing before the Stoke-on-Trent evening rush? A timer keeps the sign lit while commuters pass, then switches off.
- An old fluorescent lightbox on a Stoke-on-Trent parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.

Consent for illuminated signs in Stoke-on-Trent
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.
