Lightbox Signs in Ottawa: Illuminated Sign Cabinets
Illuminated cabinet signs for Ottawa commercial properties: single-face, double-face, pylon-mounted, and LED retrofits. Custom fabricated and installed by Lundon Calling.
Cabinet signs, also called lightbox signs, are the most common illuminated sign format in commercial signage. An aluminum cabinet with a translucent face, internally lit by LED modules, produces uniform face illumination that reads clearly day and night. Lundon Calling fabricates, permits, and installs custom lightbox signs across Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.
Commercial-grade LED illumination standard on all cabinet signs: 50,000+ hour rated modules, uniform face illumination, and significant energy savings over fluorescent.
Single-face wall-mounted cabinets and double-face freestanding or pylon-mounted cabinets for maximum visibility from both directions.
Every cabinet fabricated to your specific dimensions: standard rectangular formats and custom-shaped cabinets for distinctive installations.

Lightbox and Cabinet Sign Options We Install
From standard single-face wall cabinets to multi-tenant pylon cabinets, every format fabricated to your dimensions and specifications.
Single-Face Wall-Mounted Cabinets
The most common commercial sign cabinet format. Aluminum cabinet with an illuminated translucent face, mounted flush or proud of the building fascia. Single-face cabinets are the standard choice for retail storefronts, restaurant exteriors, and commercial tenants.
Double-Face Cabinets
Two illuminated faces back-to-back, used where your sign must be readable from both directions. Common in pylon sign applications, projecting sign formats, and freestanding roadside signs where traffic approaches from multiple directions.
Flush-Mount Cabinets
The cabinet sits flush with the building fascia, so the face is coplanar with the wall surface for a clean, integrated appearance. More complex to install, but preferred where the building architecture demands a seamless sign panel look.
Pylon Cabinet Signs
Illuminated cabinet panels mounted on pylon or monument sign structures. Used as the primary identification panel on multi-tenant pylons and freestanding roadside structures. Single or double-face, custom-sized to the pylon structure.
Pan-Face Cabinet Signs
Vacuum-formed or injection-moulded plastic face in a custom shape or standard rectangular format. Pan-face cabinets are common in franchise and national chain applications where the face format is specified by the brand standard.
Refaced Cabinet Signs
Replace the face, graphics, and internal lighting on an existing cabinet structure without replacing the entire sign. A cost-effective rebranding solution when the cabinet shell is still structurally sound, at a fraction of the cost of a new sign.
Deciding between formats? Compare channel letters and lightbox signs before you choose.
Is Your Existing Cabinet Sign Due for an LED Upgrade?
Older cabinet signs with fluorescent tube illumination are candidates for LED retrofit, replacing only the internal lighting modules while keeping the existing cabinet structure. LED retrofits typically reduce sign energy consumption by 50 to 70 percent and eliminate the ongoing cost of fluorescent tube replacement.
Lundon Calling assesses whether your existing cabinet structure is suitable for LED retrofit or requires full replacement. In many cases, a reface combined with an LED retrofit delivers a like-new sign at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. Contact us to arrange a site assessment.

Lightbox Signs in Ottawa: Common Questions
What Ottawa businesses ask most before ordering a lightbox or cabinet sign.
What is a lightbox sign?+
A lightbox sign, also called a cabinet sign, is an aluminum cabinet with a translucent face lit from inside by LED modules. The even internal illumination reads clearly day and night, which makes it the most common illuminated sign format for storefronts and commercial properties.
What lightbox sign formats do you fabricate?+
Single-face wall-mounted cabinets, double-face cabinets, flush-mount cabinets, pylon cabinet panels, pan-face cabinets for franchise brand standards, and refaced cabinets that reuse an existing structure. Every cabinet is fabricated to your dimensions.
Do lightbox signs in Ottawa need a permit?+
Most permanent illuminated cabinet signs do. Lundon Calling handles the City of Ottawa sign permit and coordinates the electrical connection as part of every cabinet sign project.
Do you upgrade older lightbox signs to LED?+
Yes. Older cabinet signs with fluorescent tubes are often good candidates for an LED retrofit, which replaces the internal lighting while keeping the existing cabinet. LED retrofits typically reduce sign energy use by 50 to 70 percent. We assess whether your cabinet suits a retrofit or needs full replacement.
