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.
Points in favour of sign lighting and LED upgrades in Staines
- Where flats sit above shops in Staines, downward-aimed, shielded fittings keep light on the sign and out of windows.
- Heritage frontages in Staines may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
- An old fluorescent lightbox on a Staines parade can be converted to LED, cutting running costs and tube changes.

Consent for illuminated signs in Staines
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.
