Except as otherwise provided in § 1294.05(e):
(a) Signs for which lighting or illumination is not prohibited may be illuminated with indirect lighting, neon or other gaseous-type tubes, incandescent lamps or luminous bulbs. The source of light shall not be visible from the street and shall be shaded to prevent the light from beaming onto adjacent properties or other rights-of-way. No flashing or revolving illumination shall be employed.
(b) Any business sign illuminated with electric lights, including neon or other gaseous-type tubes or incandescent lamps, erected within 100 feet of an intersection where an illuminated device has been provided for the control of traffic, shall not duplicate in the electric light of such sign any colors appearing in the traffic control signal.
