PLEXIGLAS® LED is an acrylic material family developed around the way LED light travels and spreads. In an illuminated sign, the face material affects whether a viewer sees an even glow or distracting points of light. The backlit versions are designed to diffuse light across a sign face, while the edge-lit versions guide light through the material.

Day and night views of the Mack World Headquarters sign show how its illuminated elements stand out after dark. Images: PLEXIGLAS® LED website.

That distinction gives designers options for light boxes, dimensional letters, and slimmer illuminated details. The range includes different forms and colors, so the right selection depends on the LED arrangement and the desired appearance both during the day and after dark.

Materials: PMMA acrylic; translucent cast sheets or blocks for backlighting; transparent extruded sheets or rods for edge lighting.
