itesecurity Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Don't know if this has been discussed before regarding backlit bell boxes, seen a few of them and personally I dont like them. We have our logo's and telephone numbers etc for advertising and professional appearance but I think the line has to be drawn somewhere. Crying out to be vandalized by the local hoodies. There is a row of around 8 of them at a new devolopment near us and while lit they looked terrible, they were lit for about a week and I can only assume the devoloper had second thoughts as they have not been illuminated since. No offence to anyone that uses them. Your thoughts ?

RichL Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Tat. No one gives a toss, its only us lot in the trade who actually notice bells. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Does a backlit bellbox on residential need planning permission? I am still trying to make sense of these "guidelines" for signage. At a first quick read it doesn't answer the question. http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/326679.pdf Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/31012-bells-to-be-backlit-or-not-to-be-backlit/#findComment-269008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
