FAQ
WHAT ARE LED LIGHT GUIDE PANELS?
LED Light Guide Panels are made from optical grade PMMA acrylic sheets with LED strips mounted on the edge of the acrylic. The dot pattern that is on top of the acrylic panel helps evenly distribute the light.
HOW DOES THE LIGHT PANEL ONE HAVE SUCH EVEN LIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE PANEL?
LIGHTPANEL is the only US based manufacturer that utilizes World Class dotting laser machines and proprietary software to create fully enhanced dot patterns. These patterns act as “channels” helping to evenly distribute the spread of light.
Our proprietary software enables us to have full targeted control over the exact pattern size, space, dot depth and shape of every Light Panel ONE.
Using our software and laser we first create an arrangement of precise dot patterns that are laser etched near the edge of the panel closer to the led strips. As you move further away for the light source and edge of the panel, the dot pattern gradually becomes more narrowly spaced.
HOW DO I POWER THE PANELS?
We provide complete power that include a power supply, one 120″ black AC cord, one 39.37″” white DC IP54 cord. Components are shipped separately. Assembly required.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS DIMMABLE?
Yes, some options to control the panels include; 0-10V Dimming, DMX/DALI for our Color Changing Products, and our power supplies are compatible with most if not all control systems.
HOW LONG DO THE PANELS TYPICALLY LAST?
The LEDs last at minimum 50,000 hours. The technology has a very low power usage and emits very little heat which providing you with long lasting LED’s. This equates 24/7 usage per day to 5.7 years; 12 hours usage per day to 11.4 years; 6 hours usage per day to 22.8 years.
WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL TURNAROUND TIME?
Even though our products are custom made our typical lead times are 1-2 weeks.
ARE SAMPLES AVAILABLE?
Yes, we offer samples. Please contact us for details.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF A LASER FOR CUTTING THE ACRYLIC?
LIGHTPANEL utilizes laser machines for ultra-fast and precise cutting. This enables the LED light to clearly shine through the panels edge with minimal distortion.
Because of this highly efficient cutting process we can ensure maximum accuracy, outstanding reproducibility and a consistently brighter LED Light Panel.
WHAT CAN I CUSTOMIZE (e.g. power exits, shape, framing, etc.)?
Size, shape, cut outs, pre-drilled holes, power exit location, power tail length, power connectors, dimming, and more.
HOW LONG CAN THE POWER TAIL BE?
Our standard power tail is 72 inches long. We can offer shorter power tails and longer ones up to 120 inches using our standard wire. Please let us know if you require a longer power tail.
CAN I CUSTOMIZE THE PANEL THICKNESS?
Yes, we support acrylic thicknesses between .22” – .41”.
HOW LONG DO CUSTOM ORDERS USUALLY TAKE?
On average, production is 5-10 business days after the PO is submitted to LIGHTPANEL
WHEN SHOULD A DIFFUSION FILM BE USED?
A diffusion film is used when the material being backlit is fairly translucent or has any areas you can see through.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT YOUR PANELS ARE MANUFACTURED IN THE ST. FRANCIS, WI?
By keeping design, engineering and manufacturing here in the USA we maintain full control over product quality ensuring a premium finished product.
CAN I DRILL HOLES IN THE PANELS AFTER I GET THEM?
We suggest if needed, holes be drilled during the manufacturing process. If drilled after delivery of the panel, the warranty will be voided.

Yes! From design to retrofits we’re here to help you with any application.
