Acrylic LED Light Box
Our Acrylic LED Light Boxes combine sleek design with powerful illumination. Available in depths from 40mm to 100mm, these units use bonded 5mm acrylic faces for durability and easy graphic changes. The 65mm model features LED backlighting that delivers clean white light with impressive brightness uniformity. Ideal for large-scale installations, the 100mm depth option offers cost-effective solutions with quick turnaround times. These light boxes are suitable for wall mounting or conversion to free-standing units using aluminium feet.
Fabric Face LED Light Box
Fabric-Faced LED Light Boxes provide versatile illuminated displays for commercial environments. Using ultra-slim 27mm to 120mm aluminium extrusions, these units illuminate printed or unprinted fabrics with homogeneous lighting. Double-sided models suit hanging applications in retail spaces while single-sided versions work for wall installations. Maximum sizes reach 50m x 3m, accommodating expansive visual requirements. The frames accept digitally printed graphics and allow easy media changes, making them ideal for dynamic display needs in offices, exhibitions, and retail environments.
External Light Boxes
Our External LED Light Boxes deliver weather-resistant illumination for outdoor applications. Constructed with 165mm curved aluminium profiles and IP65-rated components, these units withstand harsh environmental conditions. Featuring cool white LEDs and 5mm opal diffusers, they provide even illumination for branding visibility. The units include mains power connections and are suitable for permanent architectural installations. Custom fabrication capabilities allow bespoke shapes and sizes, including circular designs and ACM-clad structures for commercial buildings.
Illuminated Letters
Custom Illuminated Letters enhance brand visibility with multiple lighting options. Available in halo, side, backlit, or front-lit configurations, these letters use LED technology for energy-efficient operation. Constructed with 20mm depth frames and 15mm stroke widths, they maintain slim profiles while delivering bright illumination. Face materials include coloured or printed acrylic, with options for 50,000-hour LED modules. These letters suit both indoor and outdoor applications, providing dimensional signage solutions for commercial premises and architectural features.
LED Light Panels
LED Light Panels offer versatile illumination for architectural and commercial applications. Available in 10mm Technic, 14mm Ultra, and Matrix models, these panels use engraved patterns for even light distribution. The 3000k to 6500k colour temperature options accommodate different ambient requirements. Matrix panels employ backlit technology requiring 120mm voids for diffused lighting effects. Control systems support dimming and DMX integration, enabling dynamic lighting scenarios. Common uses include retail displays, signage, and architectural feature lighting with custom size availability.
