How They're Made and Custom Acrylic Options

In the world of illuminated signage, LED signs have emerged as the shining star, captivating attention with their vibrant colors and eye-catching designs. But have you ever wondered how these dazzling signs are made, or how you can customise them to suit your unique style? Let's dive into the fascinating world of LED signs and explore the endless possibilities of custom acrylic options.

How LEDs Signs Are Made:

Acrylic sheets are precision-cut using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines to achieve intricate shapes and designs, ensuring flawless results. A channel is then cut into the acrylic to accommodate the LED strip, which is carefully placed inside to provide even illumination. Coloured rubber tubing is applied over the LEDs to diffuse the light and create a bright uniform glow. Optionally resin is poured over the LEDs and electrical connections to make them water resistant for outdoor use.

Custom Acrylic Options:

One of the key features of LED signs is their versatility when it comes to customization, and acrylic plays a crucial role in this process. Acrylic is a lightweight, durable plastic that can be transparent, mirroed, or printed on to create stunning visual effects. Here are some of the different types of acrylic options available for customisation from OhSoFancy:

1. Transparent: This option is the most common for LED signs, allowing what's behind the sign to remain visible and for the LEDs to appear floating on the wall.

2. Mirrored: Mirrored acrylic adds an extra dimension to the signage, reflecting the surrounding environment and creating a sense of depth and space. The mirrored effect can be tinted in traditional silver, rose gold or gold colours.

3. Printed: Printed acrylic offers endless possibilities for customisation, allowing an image to be printed onto the acrylic and the LEDs to be over the top to make it pop. Whether it's a business logo, family photo or custom artwork, the printed acrylic adds a personal touch to the LED sign.

Conclusion:

LED signs with acrylic options offer a versatile and visually stunning way to illuminate your space. From transparent to mirrored and printed acrylic, the possibilities for customisation are endless.
