LED illuminated signage is made from a range of materials, including coated metal, glass, acrylic, and electronics. LED modules can be used to create back-lit illuminated signs or illuminated signage letters and shapes of all sizes. LED strips can also be used around the edges of signs and internal displays to produce a neon–style result. 

Our lit signage solutions are suitable for all business and retail premises and are robustly built for longevity and with outdoor-rated electrical components to withstand all weather. LEDs are safe, low voltage, low maintenance and highly energy efficient. Most importantly they are impactful and help to increase your business’ visibility, particularly at night and during the winter months. 

We are adept at creating bespoke signage and can work with a variety of materials, styles and colours to match your branding. We offer a complete service including site survey, design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance. Our project managers are always on hand to advise and guide you through the entire process.

Bespoke LED Illuminated Signs 

Prototyping 

A.J Wells and Sons Ltd benefits from an experienced in-house design team that has worked on a wide range of unique and challenging projects for over 50 years. Our full in-house capability, blending the very latest technology with heritage techniques, allows us to take on bespoke project requests at any scale and specification. Learn more here. 

Fabrication 

We design, manufacture and finish all our products at our Isle of Wight factory which is the largest enamel facility in the UK. We have a highly skilled team using state-of-the-art equipment. All our facilities are under one roof which enables us to manage each project effectively and offer a fast and efficient turnaround.  

Our state-of-the-art laser profiling and high precision metal workshop allows highly accurate and efficient laser cutting with tolerances of just 0.2mm and the capability of cutting material from 0.5mm-25mm in thickness. This gives us the ability to manufacture designs with great complexity. Learn more here. 

LED Illuminated Sign Process 

The process starts with an in-depth consultation to establish the full requirements for your illuminated sign project. If required, a site survey will be carried out to ensure that any bespoke logistical challenges or safety measures can be factored in. 

Designs are then created using the latest software and once signed off, manufacturing is completed in-house maintaining strict quality control. For outdoor illuminated signage, the LEDs and the whole outdoor light box are IP rated ensuring they are water-resistant. When installed at ground level a key or a tool to lock/open the box is provided so that they are tamper resistant. 

After the signs have been installed on-site, we can also arrange periodic maintenance to ensure your illuminated signs stay in optimum condition. 

Case Studies 

PlayStation 

A.J Wells & Sons were commissioned by Transport for London to create four giant illuminated Underground signs in the shape of the PlayStation buttons for the 2020 launch of the PlayStation 5. The whole project was turned around in just over two weeks. 

This is a strong example of our ability to create bespoke signage to an extremely high standard in a short time frame. Learn more about the project here.  

Crossrail Elizabeth Line Roundels and Totems 

A.J Wells has designed, developed, manufactured and installed thousands of signs including door plates and totems, directional signage, illuminated fascias and roundels for many of the new Crossrail, Elizabeth line stations. 

These three metre tall freestanding totems made from screen-printed toughened glass. Designed, developed, manufactured and installed by A.J Wells & Sons, the wayfinding totems incorporate signage, lighting, speakers, CCTV and in some cases, help points. Learn more here.  

TfL’s Overground Super Graphics  

A.J Wells worked closely with Transport for London on the external Super Graphic illuminated signage for new and refurbished train stations as part of the London Overground scheme. The letters and roundels were designed, fabricated and hand assembled in-house at A.J Wells using low energy LED technology. Learn more here. 

Frank Pick 

To mark the 75th anniversary of Frank Pick’s death, A.J Wells were commissioned to manufacture artwork consisting of cast bronze lettering in the New Johnston font and a LED backlit roundel bearing his name. Learn more here.
