Build Study

Edge Lit Letters In Solid Acrylic

The interior needed a glowing outline rather than a lit face, in a space where a frontlit letter would have read as a light fitting.

Project Challenge

The Problem On The Table

The interior needed a glowing outline rather than a lit face, in a space where a frontlit letter would have read as a light fitting.

Customer Pain Points

  • The effect depends on a relatively dark surround and barely registers in daylight
  • Thick solid acrylic has to be machined before the LED goes in, which lengthens production
  • The metal front must be genuinely opaque or the effect collapses
Our Solution

How It Was Built

The front is metal and opaque so no light passes through it. The back is 20, 25 or 30mm solid translucent white acrylic, cut out inside to hold high quality LED. The light travels through the acrylic and escapes along the edge of the letter only.

Manufacturing Process

Four Stages On The Floor

Front

Opaque metal face, which blocks light forwards entirely.

Acrylic

Solid translucent white acrylic in 20, 25 or 30mm, machined to receive the LED.

LED

Fixed inside the acrylic so the light exits at the cut edge.

Mounting

Back stud fixing with all installing accessories and a transformer supplied.

Supply Chain And Quality Control

What Happens Before It Ships

Joints are dressed before finishing, illuminated builds are wired and lit before the back closes, and polished and acrylic faces keep their protective film for the whole journey. Formal QC documentation is TBC and is not claimed here.
