What is the Rectangle Light Box Sign?

The Rectangle Light Box Sign is an illuminated wall-mounted storefront sign, 27.6″ × 19.7″ (70 × 50 cm), made from aluminum with an acrylic face. It runs on 12 V with a 4000–4500K LED output, includes a dimmer, a 6 m cable and international plug adapters, and weighs 19.1 lbs (8.65 kg). It's supplied as a blank, ready for a signwriter to apply your artwork.

What else is it called?

The Rectangle Light Box Sign is also known as an LED light box sign, illuminated shop sign, backlit sign, or storefront sign. Its landscape format suits a business name or logo above a door or window.

How is the Rectangle Light Box Sign powered?

The sign runs on 12 V and includes a 6 m cable, a dimmer, and plug adapters for AU/NZ, US and EU outlets. It can be plugged in or hardwired by a qualified electrician.

The sign itself is weatherproof, but the plug, dimmer and cable connection must be indoors — so an outdoor installation needs the cable run through the wall to an interior power point or switchboard. Measure the full cable path, not just the distance along the wall, when checking the 6 m will reach.

Do I need an electrician to install it?

For a plug-in installation you don't necessarily need one, but any outdoor install involves running the cable through the wall to an indoor connection, so most customers use an electrician. If you're hardwiring rather than plugging in, an electrician is required. Our [Safe Installation Guide] covers the requirements in full.

How bright is the Rectangle Light Box Sign?

The LEDs run at 4000–4500K, a neutral white that reads clearly at night without a blue cast. A dimmer is included, so brightness can be adjusted to suit your frontage and surrounding light levels. [LUMEN OUTPUT?]

Can the Rectangle Light Box Sign be used outdoors?

Yes — the sign housing is weatherproof and built for exterior use, with aluminum that won't rust in coastal conditions. The electrical components are not: the plug, dimmer and cable connection all need to be indoors.

What is the Rectangle Light Box Sign made from?

An aluminum housing with an acrylic face. Aluminum doesn't rust, so it outlasts steel or timber outdoors, and the acrylic face diffuses the LED light evenly across the sign.

Does the Rectangle Light Box Sign come with mounting hardware?

Yes. Stainless-steel wood screws are supplied, designed to fix into solid timber framing. Stainless steel won't rust or stain the wall over time, including in coastal conditions.

If you're mounting to brick, concrete, block or render, you'll need to source the appropriate masonry anchors yourself — the supplied screws are for timber only. At 19.1 lbs (8.65 kg), the sign needs a secure fixing into solid structure, not plasterboard or cladding alone, so have an installer specify the right fixing for your wall type.

Is the Rectangle Light Box Sign suitable for windy locations?

Once fixed into a solid substrate, the Rectangle Light Box Sign is built to handle normal exterior conditions, including wind and rain. Because it mounts close to the wall rather than projecting out, it's less exposed than a blade sign. In very exposed or coastal locations, we'd recommend a professional installer assess your wall before fixing.

Does the Rectangle Light Box Sign come branded?

No — it's supplied as a blank. A local signwriter can apply a vinyl decal to the acrylic face, which lights through from behind. If you need more information on the signwriting process, check out our helpful blog post here.

What is the warranty period for the Rectangle Light Box Sign?

The Rectangle Light Box Sign comes with a two-year warranty covering both hardware and electronics. Full details are on our FAQs page.
