Backlit Acrylic Prints - FAQs

• What's better for illuminating: 3 mm or 8 mm thick glass?

  The glass thickness is not relevant for the illumination, although the 8 mm perspex is way more stylish. Both versions can perfectly be used for any kind of illuminant.

• Which mounting kit is the best suitable?

  We recommend the hanging kit STEEL. With this mounting kit you'll have a proper distance to the wall which gives you plenty of space for attaching the illuminate. Moreover, you can light up the entire print.

  Although adhensive hangings are prenty fancy with regard to the floating effect they're not suitable for illuminated perspex prints - as you can the shadow through the print.

• Which illuminant should I use?

  The easiest way is using a battery operated LED tubes. They can easily be attached to the wall behind the print - without nasty wires hanging down.
