What We Do
Our Light Box Signage Services
We handle all types of illuminated signage electrical work:
- New lightbox installation — wiring and connecting new illuminated sign cabinets for storefronts, fascias, and building exteriors
- LED lightbox upgrades — replacing fluorescent tubes inside existing sign cabinets with modern LED strips for brighter, more energy-efficient illumination
- Signage rewiring and repairs — diagnosing and repairing faults in existing illuminated signs, including failed drivers, ballasts, and wiring
- Fluorescent to LED conversions — converting existing fluorescent-lit signage to LED for improved brightness, longer life, and lower running costs
- Dedicated signage circuits — installing dedicated electrical circuits for signage to ensure reliable, compliant power supply
- Timer and control installation — adding timer controls so signage operates only during required hours
- Multi-tenancy signage — coordinating signage electrical work across retail centres and multi-tenanted commercial buildings

FAQs
Light Box Signage Auckland FAQs
How much does light box signage installation cost in Auckland?
−
It depends on the type of sign, the access required, and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed. Call us on 0800 177 275 or request a free quote and we'll assess your signage and give you a clear, fixed price.
My illuminated sign is flickering or partially dark — can you fix it?
+
Yes — flickering and partial failures are usually caused by failed LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, or wiring faults. We diagnose the specific fault and carry out the repair. In many cases, converting to LED at the same time is more cost-effective than replacing like-for-like fluorescent components.
Is it worth converting my fluorescent sign cabinet to LED?
+
In most cases yes — LED strips for sign cabinets last significantly longer than fluorescent tubes, produce more even illumination, and use less energy. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether conversion makes sense for your specific sign.
Do you work with sign manufacturers and installers?
+
Yes — we regularly coordinate with sign companies to handle the electrical installation component of new signage projects. We can work directly from their specifications or attend site alongside them.
Do illuminated signs need a dedicated electrical circuit?
+
Larger signs and multi-sign installations typically require a dedicated circuit to ensure reliable operation and compliance. We'll assess your existing electrical supply and advise on what's needed.
