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.

What sign lighting and LED upgrades can do for businesses in Burgess Hill

  • For a Burgess Hill business watching its budget, lighting the existing sign is a sensible first step into evening trade.
  • Heritage frontages in Burgess Hill may suit discreet external lighting, often easier to justify to planners than a new lit box.
  • Closing before the Burgess Hill evening rush? A timer keeps the sign lit while commuters pass, then switches off.

Consent for illuminated signs in Burgess Hill

Lighting a sign changes the consent picture in England. Under the 2007 Advertisement Regulations, deemed consent for illuminated signs is narrow and is excluded in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads and areas of special control; in practice most lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent. Allow up to 8 weeks for a decision, with consent normally running for 5 years. Keep the light static and at sensible levels, with PLG05 the usual reference for brightness, and use a time switch or photocell to control the hours. We check before you commit, can handle the application drawings or the submission, and arrange an electrician for the BS 7671 connection.

Sign lighting and LED upgrades in Burgess Hill: questions

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

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.

Can I get a fixed price for sign lighting and LED upgrades in Burgess Hill before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £295 to £1,450 per fascia excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

Do you cover smaller places near Burgess Hill as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Burgess Hill itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across West Sussex are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

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.

Can lighting be added to a rented shop?

Usually, with your landlord's written agreement, as most leases control fixings on the outside of the building. Advertisement consent may also be needed, and an electrician connects the lights to BS 7671. Fittings can be removed when the lease ends, and holes made good.
