Illuminated signage
Illuminated signage is shop front signage that lights up so your business is seen around the clock. Sign Group designs, manufactures and installs it in house, including 3D letters, fret cut trays, LED signage, halo illuminated letters, lightboxes and projecting signs. Illuminated signs can be used indoors as well as outdoors.
Every job
In the autumn/winter months the days tend to get dark very early. The sun goes down around 4:00pm and unlit signs become hard to read, which is bad for business!
Some shops miss out on vital business as they have a printed shop front sign which is not visible in the dark, and most potential customers pass by on foot without noticing the signage. This is where illuminated signs come in very useful.
Shop front signs that light up are a great way to attract attention in the winter months. Luckily, we specialise in all sorts of illuminated signs, with 3D letters, fret cut trays, LED signage, halo illuminated letters, lightboxes and projecting signs.
This means your business is seen around the clock.
Illuminated signs can be used indoors as well as outdoors. A well lit sign in the front window of your shop/office, for example, can generate lots of attention, and stand you apart from the dull shopfronts of the streets around you.
Options include lightboxes and flexi face signs; letters with halo illumination, where backlighting creates a halo effect; fret-cut logos with internal illumination, where logos or designs are cut out of a solid panel so interior lighting shines through; and pencil/trough lights and spotlights, which use focused lighting to highlight specific areas or features.
Lightboxes are typically constructed with an aluminium frame that houses LED lights. The front of the frame is covered by an acrylic panel, onto which the graphics are printed. When the lights are turned on, the illumination spreads throughout the entire acrylic panel. For larger lightboxes there may be joins in the acrylic panel, which may be visible when the lights are on; a flex face sign provides a seamless appearance without any visible joins, even in larger sizes.
Flex face signs feature a printed skin stretched tightly over the aluminium frame, similar to a drum skin, held in place by hidden clips along each edge of the sign. Large distances can be covered without visible joins, and if you need to update the graphics you only need to replace the skin rather than the entire sign.
Imagine a rectangular sign fixed to the wall of a shop with LEDs inside, and your business name and logo cut out from the front of the sign. When you turn on the LED illumination, the light shines through the cut-out letters and logo. We use lasers and machinery to cut out the logos and letters, then apply an acrylic sheet inside the sign box and seal it to prevent water damage.
Trough lights, also known as pencil lights, are a cost-effective way to illuminate your signage and increase its visibility. These lights are often installed separately from the sign itself, making them a convenient option that can be added at a later date. They are positioned either above or below shop signs and emit light that shines back towards the signage.
