LED Lit Signs, Neon Signs & Other Illuminated Formats

We provide LED lit signs and neon signs as custom options. LED lit signs use light-emitting diodes to illuminate sign faces from within, producing consistent, bright output with low energy consumption. They suit restaurants, retailers, and service businesses that operate during evening or early-morning hours.

Neon signs use illuminated tubing to form lettering, graphics, or decorative elements. Their distinctive appearance can reinforce a brand identity, highlight a message, or add a visual feature to a commercial space.

Other lighted formats include:

Channel Letters: Individually formed letters or logo elements create a dimensional illuminated display.
Lightbox Signs: An internally illuminated cabinet and sign face display branding, text, or graphics.

The right format depends on the message, placement, viewing conditions, and operating needs. We develop a visual communication solution around those objectives rather than treating the sign as an isolated product.

Sign Permits for Illuminated Signs in Toronto

Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 694 requires a Sign Permit before most permanent signs are erected, displayed, modified, or restored. Changing how an existing sign is illuminated is considered a sign modification under the same chapter.

The City of Toronto requires both a Sign and Building Permit when a sign is installed on a building or into the ground. Small-window-sign exemptions don’t apply to window signs that display copy electronically, including LED signs. Municipal requirements depend on the proposed sign and installation, while our services include Survey and Permitting for custom building signs.

Requirements for Outdoor Illuminated Signs in Toronto

An exterior illuminated sign needs materials, mounting, and electrical components suited to ongoing exposure to sunlight, precipitation, and changing temperatures. These physical considerations should be evaluated alongside local rules governing brightness and operation.

Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 694 limits an illuminated sign to no more than 3.0 lux above ambient light within 10.0 metres of the sign face. Lux measures the amount of light reaching a surface. The chapter also sets a maximum brightness of 5,000 nits between sunrise and sunset and 300 nits between sunset and sunrise. Nits measure the brightness emitted by a display or sign.

The code also addresses operation during a smog alert. A first-party sign, meaning a sign advertising the business, activity, goods, or services available on the property, may not be illuminated during an alert. Its illumination must stop within four hours after the smog alert is issued.
