WHY IT MATTERS
A bright, clear message that works day and night.
A light box glows evenly from edge to edge, so your logo and name stay readable long after the sun goes down. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to add illumination to your business.
Light boxes are also practical. When your branding changes, you can often replace just the face instead of the whole sign.
THE BASICS
What is a light box sign?
A light box, also called a cabinet sign, is a weather-sealed metal box with LED lighting inside and a translucent face on the front. The light shines through the face, making the whole graphic glow. Light boxes can be single-sided on a wall or double-sided as a projecting blade sign.
How a light box is built
LED Modules
Energy-efficient lights spaced for even, bright illumination.
Face
Polycarbonate, acrylic, or flex face with your printed or vinyl graphics.
Power Supply
Converts building power and connects to a switch or timer.
OPTIONS
Light box options for your business
Single-Sided
Mounted flat against a wall, facing the street or parking lot.
Double-Sided Blade
Projects from the wall so people walking from either direction can see it.
Shaped Cabinet
Custom-cut to the outline of your logo for a more unique look.
Push-Through
Letters push through a routed face so only the copy glows. A premium option.
MAKE IT YOURS
Customize the size, shape, and glow.
Rule of thumb
Dark backgrounds with light, glowing letters usually read better at night than a fully white face, and they reduce glare.
- Shape
- Rectangle, oval, circle, or a custom shape cut to your logo.
- Depth
- Slim profiles for walls or deeper cabinets for larger faces.
- Face
- Polycarbonate for impact resistance, acrylic for clarity, or flex face for large sizes.
- Graphics
- Translucent vinyl or direct print in your exact brand colors.
- Lighting
- LED modules with timers or photocells for automatic on and off.
- Finish
- Cabinet painted to match your building or brand.
INSTALLATION
Ways to mount a light box
Wall Mount
Fastened flat to the facade with wiring routed through the wall.
Projecting Bracket
Hung on a bracket perpendicular to the building for two-way visibility.
Pole or Monument
Mounted on a post or base near the road or parking entrance.
PRICING
What do light boxes cost? Here’s what drives the price.

PLAN AHEAD
Good to know before you order
A little planning makes a light box project smooth from start to finish.
- You’ll need a power source near the sign location
- Most illuminated signs need a sign permit
- Existing cabinets can often be refaced instead of replaced
- Timers or photocells save energy automatically
- LED lighting runs cooler and uses less power than old fluorescent tubes
Have an old fluorescent light box? Ask us about an LED retrofit to brighten it and lower your energy use.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about light boxes? We’ve got answers.
Still wondering about something? or call 631.727.8311.
Can you replace just the face of my existing light box?
Often, yes. If the cabinet is in good condition, we can measure it and make a new face with your updated graphics.
How long do LED light boxes last?
Quality LED modules typically run for many years with little maintenance. If something stops working, we can service it.
Can you convert my fluorescent sign to LED?
Yes. An LED retrofit usually makes the sign brighter, more even, and cheaper to run.
Does a light box need a permit?
Usually, yes. We handle the permit drawings and application for you.
Can the sign turn on and off by itself?
Yes. We can add a timer or a photocell that switches the sign on at dusk.
What is a double-sided light box?
It is a cabinet with faces on both sides, usually mounted on a bracket so people coming from either direction can read it.
