Building a printed lightbox for an OFC photonics exhibit? Compare internal LED modules for technical diagrams, icons and labels. Choose around the graphic material and frame depth, rather than the brightness of a neighbouring video screen.
How can I keep small labels readable on a backlit diagram?
Test a full-size printed section containing your smallest label, fine lines and pale background with the intended transmitting material. View it from the aisle and discussion position. If text loses contrast or individual LED points show through, compare another layout, spacing or material before increasing power. LED output alone does not establish legibility.
Should my OFC graphic use edge-lit bars or rear backlighting?
Edge-lit bars direct light across the cavity from the frame; rear bars illuminate the graphic from behind. Measure clear depth, lens clearance and mounting space, then compare a working section with its real supports and print. Check labels near the edges as well as the centre. The three featured models offer different optics; none is a universal fit for a photonics booth.
Compare LED lightbox sources
- 20W rigid edge-lit bar: 470×24×16mm including lens, DC24V, 2200lm ±10% and 10°×40° optics.
- 12W dual-CCT rear-backlight bar: DC24V, 1320lm, 180° beam and 3-wire JST; select the CCT pair and separate control.
- 10W slim edge-lit bar: 360×23×16mm including lens, DC24V, 1100lm and 9°×50° optics.
Are these LED modules optical transceivers for OFC equipment?
No. These are lighting components for printed lightbox graphics, not optical transceivers, fibre links, test instruments or video-screen modules. Confirm that your purchasing list calls for a lightbox light source. For an existing rented frame, obtain the owner's approval and original electrical details before replacing its lights.
Before ordering
For the three featured bars: Verify DC24V, total load, pinout and polarity; external power is separate. The dual-CCT bar also requires a compatible 3-wire switch or controller, not included. The featured slim 10W bar permits at most 6 per run after wiring checks; do not apply that limit to other models.
Send the lightbox dimensions, clear depth, frame section, smallest printed label and supply/connector details. We can compare a suitable LED-bar candidate; request a sample assembly test before committing to a repeat build.
