LED Lightbox Signs for Shopfronts and Pylons

• Shopfronts and fascias where a uniform, bright sign is needed.
• Pylon and totem-style signs for roadside businesses.
• Projecting or blade-style double-sided signs.
• Menu boards, directories and service listings.
• Any sign where the artwork may need to change over time.

• Shape and size: rectangular, rounded or shaped cabinets.
• Sides: single face for a wall or double face for a projecting or freestanding sign.
• Face system: fixed faces, push-through lettering or removable faces for easy change.
• Depth: deeper for even light on large faces, shallower for tighter spaces.
• Frame colour: painted or anodised to match the building.

• Aluminium or galvanised-steel cabinets, painted or powder-coated.
• Translucent acrylic or polycarbonate faces; flexible faces for larger sizes.
• Printed translucent film or cut vinyl graphics.
• Stainless steel or painted fixings for exposed locations.

Print and vinyl colours shift when backlit, so we proof key colours on the face material.

LED modules or strips are spaced across the cabinet to avoid hot and dark spots. Depth, reflector colour and diffuser choice are balanced to give a uniform face. White LED is standard.

Advanced lighting such as colour-changing or pixel-controlled boxes is subject to technical assessment and confirmed availability.

• Choose a lightbox when you need a uniform glow and an easily changed graphic.
• Choose front-lit letters when you want the shape of your brand name to be the sign, without a box around it.
• Choose a slimline lightbox when depth must be minimal or the sign is indoors.
• Choose a tension fabric lightbox for very large, seamless graphics.

• Viewing distance: as a rough guide, many designers allow around 25 mm of letter height per 10 m of viewing distance. We confirm on site.
• Weight and wind: larger boxes need strong fixings and, for freestanding signs, engineered footings.
• Drainage and sealing: exterior cabinets are detailed so moisture can escape.
• Electrical access: driver position and isolator access are planned at survey.
• Glare: faces are set to a brightness suited to their surroundings.
• Approvals: structural, electrical and municipal matters are checked during survey and design, and may need landlord, body corporate or municipal approval.

• Cabinet size and depth.
• Single versus double-sided.
• Face system and graphic complexity.
• Frame finish and materials.
• Fixing, footing or pole requirements.
• Access equipment.
• Mockups and approvals.

Wipe faces with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Check for water ingress, cloudy faces and failed modules. Faces can be re-skinned when branding changes; see LED signage repairs for fault-finding.

LED lightboxes are made for retail strips, business parks and roadside sites across Gauteng. Surveys are by appointment from our Rivonia base.
