Visibility around the clock

Installing illuminated signage ensures your business and branding remains visible at all hours, capturing your audiences no matter when they pass by or visit you. In busy commercial estates, retail areas and industrial zones, illuminated signage helps your brand stand out and compete for visibility, making it easier for customers and suppliers to recognise and locate your business.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             


Illuminated signage is particularly valuable for New Zealand businesses that operate outside of traditional 9-5 hours. Gyms and fitness centres, hospitality spaces, healthcare providers, logistics companies, warehouses and retail stores all benefit from clear, highly visible signage that ensures customers and suppliers can easily find them at any time of day or night. In addition to impactful branding, illuminated signage can also improve site navigation through clear directional signage, entrance identification and bold messaging that enhances the overall customer and supplier experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Light up your business - find out more about our illuminated signage here.

Displayworks is trusted by businesses across New Zealand to design and install illuminated signage including LED signage, light boxes, channel letters and illuminated pylons. Displayworks designs, fabricates and installs illuminated signage all over New Zealand from our Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch branches. Using advanced technology and durable materials, your illuminated signage is designed specifically for your site - no matter where in Aotearoa you are located.

Displayworks has full-time electricians on hand to assess your site and help find a solution before work commences. We can look for existing power cables to brand off from, or we can look at running new cables back to the switchboard to power your signage.

The goal of illuminated signage is to help you stand out, especially in an area occupied by a large number of competitors. Illuminated signage is particularly effective for restaurants, as they help draw foot traffic and stay visible after dark when customers are often out seeking a dinner spot. For a hospitality venue, Displayworks would recommend:

  • Halo Lit Channels Letters - these create a beautiful soft glow behind letters of your restaurant name, providing a premium, sophisticated feel.
  • If you want maximum impact, Back Lit Channel Letters provide clear readability from a distance or passing at speed (in a vehicle). These are very popular for hospitality venues with loads of competition branding in close proximity.
  • Adding an LED Neon sign in a quote format adds a fun, quirky vibe to your interiors and is a popular option for those wanting a stand out feature that encourages sharing on social media or photos in the space.
  • To ensure your menu can be easily read outside, or to provide clear directions to key spots in your venue, illuminated light boxes provide a simple solution to provide clear messaging for your customers.

LED and illuminated signage generally require very little maintenance. Our lighting components are long lasting and are designed for reliable performance. Please do not use harsh chemicals on your Acrylic Signage, just warm soapy water will do the trick if your signs get a bit dusty.

This will depend on the type of illuminated signage you are after, but in some cases - yes, you will need consent. Larger outdoor signage, pylons and plinths and illuminated roadside structures will more likely than not require consent from your local council. Our team will help you through the consent process if required.
