Light Boxes and Illuminated Signage:
Making Your Brand Stand Out Day and Night
At Widd, we design and manufacture custom light boxes, built-up letters, and fret-cut illuminated fascia panels that give your business clear visibility and bring your brand values to life.
Getting Your Brand Noticed
Illuminated signage does a lot more than just keep your business visible after dark. When done right, it completely changes how people see your building, turning your premises into a welcoming landmark on the street.
But great lighting requires real balance. If a sign is too bright, it creates a harsh glare. If it is poorly planned, you end up with awkward shadows that make your logo hard to read.
At Widd, we combine 136 years of traditional craft with modern lighting technology to get that balance just right. From our workshops in Leeds and St Helens, we design and manufacture custom illuminated signs that look beautiful, reflect your true brand colours, and run reliably for years.
Light Boxes and Displays
Lightboxes effectively bring your product, service and brand values to life within the physical space. From towering corner displays and freestanding light boxes to innovative customer displays, our in-house manufacturing capabilities allow us to push beyond conventional limitations. Custom light displays, whether static or programmable, transform a feature space or flagship location.
Our Illuminated Signage Capabilities
We focus on the core illumination methods proven to work for commercial spaces, built exactly to your specifications.
Fret-cut illuminated fascia panels: We use precision cutting to slice your branding directly out of a solid storefront panel. By backing the cut-out areas with acrylic and internal lighting, the main panel remains solid while your text and logo glow clearly.
Built-up letters with acrylic faces: If you want individual three-dimensional letters that stand out from the wall, we manufacture built-up lettering with premium acrylic fronts. This method diffuses the light evenly across the face of each letter, leaving no dim spots or patches.
Built-up letters: For a more subtle and premium effect, we create solid built-up letters that block the light from the front and push it backward against the building. This creates a soft halo outline around your branding.
Projecting signs: To make sure people can see your business from down the street, we build illuminated signs that project out at a right angle from your shopfront, catching the eye of passing foot traffic from both directions.
High Quality Illuminated Signage, Lower Energy Costs
Running a prominent commercial space means keeping an eye on both your energy bills and your environmental impact. Older style neon tubes or fluorescent bulbs just do not make sense anymore because they use too much electricity and break down too often.
That is why we use low-voltage, high-efficiency LEDs as our standard choice. They offer some major practical benefits for your business.
Lower Electricity Bills
Our modern light systems use a fraction of the power of traditional sign lighting. This helps you lower your ongoing running costs while reducing your carbon footprint.
Less Hassle and Maintenance
The lighting components we choose are built to last for tens of thousands of hours. Because they are so durable, you will not have to worry about the disruption and cost of hiring cherry pickers to change dead bulbs on a high, hard-to-reach storefront.
Weatherproof Reliability
Rain, wind, and dust can easily ruin cheap electrical signs. We make sure all our exterior signs and light displays are completely sealed against the elements, so they stay looking pristine and working safely all year round.
Built Properly From the Inside Out
A stunning illuminated sign has to be practical too. We do not just think about how the front looks, we engineer the whole structure so it is easy to fit and maintain.
By combining honest British manufacturing with over a century of experience, Widd takes all the stress out of bringing your brand to life.
