The LED house numbers are 225mm, 300mm or 400mm high and laser cut from acrylic or stainless steel, with a smart frosted acrylic edging giving the numbers a full 3D look.

Please note due to high demand we have a waiting list for these products. 
Acrylic signs have a 2 week lead time.  
Stainless steel signs have a 4-5 week lead time.
Powder coated signs have a 5-6 week lead time.

The material and colour options are as follows: 

Black Acrylic (matt, pictured)
Charcoal Grey Acrylic (matt)
Stainless Steel (304 grade, brushed, silver in colour)
Black powder coating matt (over 304 grade stainless steel)
Anthracite grey powder coating matt (over 304 grade stainless steel)
Anthracite grey can be seen in the 3rd picture of number 5 with the lights off.

The LEDs are long lasting, high quality IP rated modules. The LED numbers come with hidden fixings which allow them to stand-off from the wall and for the light to flood the area at the back of the number. LEDs provide the combined benefit of low energy consumption and long life. The LEDs we use on these numbers are suitable for outside use in all weather conditions. Our LEDs come in Cool White (6000 Kelvin) or Warm White (3000 Kelvin). Please use the drop down menu to order your LED colour or contact us if you require anything different.

Our prices include all installation parts, a driver and courier delivery to the UK. We offer a 3 year warranty on electrical components, and fixings are designed to allow you to take the sign down to change the lights in the future.

You will need an LED driver to run your back lit house number, please select the type you require from the drop down list above. There are two types of driver. A simple "plug in" driver which will allow your electrician to run your illuminated house number cable back into your house and plug into the nearest standard three pin plug inside. Alternatively, a "hard wire" driver which allows your electrician to hard wire your house number into your house wiring - this is an ideal solution if your house numbers are being added to a new build, an extension or a gate post or pillar, the LED driver is NOT mounted on the back of the numbers. 

Mounting the driver on the back of a sign is ideal if you have mains cable already in place where you want to install your number to replace an a previous external light, but this design does not have room on the back. An integrated LED driver can be mounted on the back of some of our signs, choose from our square, horizontal or vertical design options. 

Can illuminated house numbers or name plates be used with a dimmer? No, there are not enough LED modules on our illuminated numbers and small backlit plaques to produce an efficiency curve necessary to dim the modules successfully. This is because at 0.25 watts each they do not make up enough total wattage for the minimum load requirement of a dimmable driver which is 6 -7 watts.

OUR ILLUMINATED HOUSE NUMBERS REQUIRE INSTALLATION INTO THE MAINS ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THEY ARE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

WE RECOMMEND OUR ILLUMNATED NUMBER PLAQUES IF MORE THAN 2 OR 3 NUMBERS ARE REQUIRED FOR EASE OF INSTALLATION.

PLEASE NOTE: Our LED Illuminated products can only be supplied to the UK and Ireland due to limitations on adapting these products for use with overseas electrical supplies.

About Us

Housenumbers Limited is a family run e-commerce business based in Dorset.

family business

The company was established in 2005 by Katherine & Charles Ellis, after their family failed to find a house number they loved for a new house extension. Our circular number, which now forms part of our logo, was admired by friends and neighbours to such an extent that the business just took off from word of mouth recommendations. It is now run day to day by daughter Josie and workshop manager Rian, with Katherine and Charles still on board, plus their small and dedicated team.

British Made

We have always manufactured here in Dorset, and use a handful of other UK based suppliers from up and down the country, our new workshop and office are located in Sixpenny Handley Dorset.

Housenumbers Workshop

The primary part of our manufacturing process is laser cutting, and we have British based stainless-steel suppliers who cut our metal parts for us on state-of-the-art laser cutters. We also have our own laser cutter for all our acrylic products which are made entirely in house. We have been operating a waiting list for our beautiful custom items for the last 10 years due to popular demand.

Hand finished product

When a bespoke house name arrives on site after laser cutting, we hand finish the item using our finishing tools to make sure that the surface is flawless, and to remove any metal burs from the edges and letters meaning there is no chance of sharp edges. We then use our welding tools to add welded fixings. Our metal fixing systems are unique to Housenumbers Limited - you can't buy them off the shelf anywhere else! We have a variety of spot-welded fixings which are selected based on the type of material you are fixing into, such as wood, brick or cladding.

Finally, some of the stainless-steel house names will be taken to our local powder coaters in a nearby town for matt or gloss custom coloured finishes to be added. The most popular are black and anthracite grey, but you can give us a custom RAL number if you are trying to match an architectural feature on your home!

We source quality LED modules and IP rated hardwire drivers from our long term trusted suppliers in China, who quality control check every item to ensure the highest electrical standards are met. We allocate every electrical order to a batch number to ensure that we can always trace your order details, and that replacement parts can be supplied to you further down the line when needed in exactly the same spec. 

Packing

Our workshop team operate in a stunning converted barn that houses our laser cutter, welding bay, finishing benches and stock, with an equally lovely office space for our admin and packing team to process and dispatch your orders. We dispatch using Royal Mail for most of our orders and DHL for our bespoke signs.
