A fresh approach to Edge-Lit Acrylic Signs

Wifi

Edge Lit Acrylic Signs have traditionally been illuminated with bulky fluorescent tubes which limited their application
and were expensive to run and maintain.

Now with Light Tape you can produce stunning edge lit acrylics and have the viewers asking “where is the light coming from?”

Light Tape’s flexibility and ultra thin profile mean it can be adhered to the edges of an acrylic sign allowing the Light Tape to flood the acrylic sheet with light, any text, logo or shape engraved into the surface of the acrylic is instantly illuminated producing a stunning effect. Go to: www.lighttape.co.uk or call: 08456 170 697

Also, because the light Tape can be fixed to all sides of the acrylic the light is contained within the sheet concentrating the effect and not spilling out on the bottom and sides like the traditional methods of illumination.

Light Tape is available in a wide range of colours and widths and not limited to square or oblong panels ether, it can light circles, ovals and complex shapes just as easily.
Light Tape can also create colourful stunning displays edge lit acrylic shelving.

Light Tape with its wealth of benefits, versatility, ease of application, cost effectiveness and extremely low carbon footprint is fast becoming the chosen, viable alternative to more traditional forms of display lighting.



With Light Tape, stunning design, creativity and innovation go hand in hand

Lexmark

When Lexmark wanted to put a printer display area in Currys for its wireless printer range the designers chose Light Tape switched onto flash mode to show the path of the Wi Fi and illuminate the Wi Fi logos.

Lexmark

At the Curry’s Superstore in Wednesbury near Birmingham, Lexmark has created a display with a difference for its printer based portfolio on show. There, the company has contrived a full working WiFi based demonstration area where everything on display can be tried and tested live by the customers. And the display area itself, lit by Light Tape is indeed an illuminating experience, putting its competition in the shop in the shade. And the created experience had been such a success that Lexmark is now introducing the concept to other Curry’s Superstores and also talking about expanding the concept even further.


Light Tape makes plinth lighting simple and discreet

Kitchen

Installing lighting effects to the underside of kitchen and bar plinths has always been a complicated and time consuming process due to the restricted space and delicate nature of traditional display lighting.

Now with Light Tape fitting Plinth Lighting could not be easier as John Senior of Consult Direct found out when he installed Light Tape to the kitchen of a new Docklands apartment above www.consultdirectltd.com
Light Tape can be measured, cut to length with scissors and fixed in place with double sided adhesive tape in a matter of minutes, the wiring and power supply are compact enough to easily fit behind the plinth producing an elegant solution to a traditionally problematic application.

Lighting

Light Tape is not just limited to kitchens, it can also be just as easily applied to bars, balconies and even boats.

What is Light Tape?

Light Tape is made up of metal ribbon coated in Sylvania phosphor and encapsulated in a Honeywell laminate. Light Tape has no glass, no gas, and no mercury/heavy metals and so is user and environment friendly. Light tape provides an 85% - 90% energy saving against other commercially available light sources such as Neon and Cold Cathode and due to its thinness (just 0.5mm thick, as thin as a business card) and being lightweight, affords inherent flexibility of use providing a neater, modern, space saving alterative that is easy to install with little to no maintenance and has a long working life.
