Illuminated sign at night

Illuminated signs

A shop that's closed at night still sells, if the sign makes it visible. We design, manufacture and install illuminated signs that keep your brand lit up when the rest of the street goes dark.

A well-executed illuminated sign is what makes a business stand out at dusk, when most shops no longer do. At Original Graphics we've been manufacturing made-to-measure illuminated signs since 2017, with a lighting design intended to look clean and legible by day and by night, without glare or excess energy use.

What the service includes

  • Light boxes with a printed face or opal acrylic front.
  • Flexible LED neon for custom shapes and typography.
  • Backlit letters with a halo effect.
  • Illuminated panels for shop windows and displays.
  • Illuminated flag/blade signs, visible from both sides of the street.

The process, step by step

We start by studying the facade and the available electrical connection point, to plan a realistic lighting design. We manufacture at our workshop using low-consumption LED and, when needed, a properly sized driver so the sign lasts for years without faults. Electrical installation follows current regulations, with the right level of watertightness for outdoor use (IP65 or higher).

Materials

We use opal acrylic to diffuse light evenly, watertight aluminium boxes for outdoor use, and long-life LED with low energy consumption — well below what the old gas neon tubes used to draw.

Who it's for

Ideal for shops open in the evening, restaurants, on-call pharmacies, petrol stations and hotels that need to be visible 24 hours a day and sell brand presence even when the business is closed.

Regulations and municipal permits

An illuminated sign isn't just design — it involves regulations that must be met. The electrical installation must comply with Spain's REBT (Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation) and carry the corresponding certificate. Many councils regulate light pollution — brightness and night-time switch-off hours — and may require a municipal permit when the sign faces the facade or a public street. We handle this so the installation is compliant from day one.

Service areas

The workshop is in Caldes de Malavella, right by the AP-7 motorway, which lets us give quick service across the whole province of Girona — Girona city, Figueres, Blanes, Lloret de Mar, Salt, Palafrugell, Olot and the Costa Brava — and the rest of Catalonia, from la Jonquera down to Barcelona.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a municipal permit to install an illuminated sign?

It depends on the council and whether the sign faces the facade or a public street. Many municipalities require a building or activity permit, and some limit hours or brightness under light-pollution regulations. We handle this as part of the project.

How much power does an LED or flexible neon sign use?

Very little: current LED technology (both lightboxes and flexible neon) uses 70% to 90% less power than traditional neon tubes or fluorescent lighting, with a much longer service life.

Can the sign switch on and off automatically?

Yes. We install timers or dusk sensors that turn the sign on and off automatically, useful both for saving power and for complying with municipal night-time ordinances.

What's the difference between a lightbox and LED neon?

A lightbox illuminates a flat surface from within, ideal for logos and wide panels. Flexible LED neon traces outlines and lettering with a fine glowing line, widely used for corporate letters and design-led signage.
