Making a big impression at a trade show can be difficult. With the help of approved fabricators Abplas, this wasn’t a problem for Bet and You who displayed an illuminated Perspex® acrylic sign measuring over 3 metres in width for use on their stand at the ICE exhibition in London, January 2024.
LED optimised 30mm Opal 1T77 Perspex® Spectrum LED, was used to create a continuous ring of light bordering the sign to maximise its impact and stand out during the show.
CNC routed 1T77 was also used to create the individually illuminated letters. Branding is vital at the trade shows and it was imperative that the sign matched the brand colours for Bet and You. Using a process developed in house, Abplas made use of their recent investment in a Mimaki digital printer and were able to perfectly create the required illuminated colours onto the 1T77 Perspex® acrylic.
When finished, the sign measured three meters in length and was one meter high, its depth was 40mm. This sign was made with concealed fixings on the reverse, so that it be hung easily.
The sign was illuminated using our S-LED range. S-LED flexible LED modules are designed with a flexible PCB board to enable them to be curved around corners without the need to use connectors. A 6000K cool white LED temperature enabled the LEDs to extenuate a crisp white illuminated finish around the sign and within each letter.
Sustainability always forms part of the Abplas planning process as MD Matt Buckley explains, “Whenever possible, we always try to work with our customers to design and make signs that are able to be stored and reused. Perspex itself can be recycled, or we can use PERSPEX®re, Perspex's recycled range of material. We choose to use low powered LED lighting because it is eco-friendly. We use it for our channel letters signs and lightboxes. Our LEDs are engineered to provide a cost effective, and energy-efficient solution, and are very reliable."
