Edgelit signs are a brilliant way of bringing complex designs to life as beautiful illuminated signs. As it so happens they work equally well for simple designs. It’s your choice. There are illumination colour options and we can lasercut your edgelit signage to follow the contour shape of your design.
Edgelit Signage Design Options
How are edgelit signs made?
They’re really simple – which is why they’re such good value. In short, we laser-etch a piece of acrylic with your design and shine one light down one edge of the acrylic. The areas that have been etched (ie your design) lightup, as do the edges of the acrylic, hence them being referred to as egdelit signs.
Illumination colour choices
We can illuminate your edgelit sign any colour you choose, and offer the option of RGB illumination meaning you can set the colour yourself. All of the sign has to be illuminated the same colour, meaning we can light certain words in one colour whilst other words are illuminated in a different colour.
Acrylic shape
At least one of the edges of the acrylic must be straight as that’s where we’ll fix the ‘track’ which houses the LEDs. The rest of the acrylic can be any shape, so that includes square, rectangular or any other curved shape that fits with the design you’re trying to achieve.
How to install edgelit signs
There are 3 primary options; (i) your sign can be suspended from the ceiling as is often seen with fire exit signs, (ii) your edgelit can self-stand or (iii) we can supply stand-offs to fix your sign to a wall.
Your sign choices
Pressed-in vinyl
We can add different colours to your sign by adding vinyl to the acrylic. The closeup photo of the word ‘up’ shows how adding white vinyl to the lettering means that the letter lights up around the edge as expected, but the vinyl adds more detail to the letters themselves.
Track colour
The ‘track’ is the metal housing that goes along at least one edge of your sign and incorporates the LEDs. The more common colours that people choose are for it to be left silver or powdercoated )professionally painted) black or white. We can however paint it any RAL colour, so you can look to match the colours scheme of the space the sign will fit in or the colour of the illumination of your sign.
