2. Light Panel
A slim panel luminaire, designed to emit uniform light across
the entire face.
The Unibox light panel is a robust luminaire used for a variety of
applications including: back-lighting for displays and graphics,
illuminating surfaces for design and architectural features, shelf
lighting for retail, and recessed lighting.
This product was designed and developed by our in-house lighting
designers and electrical engineers, to be the brightest light panel with
the most even light distribution possible.
CNC laser machining and engraving ensures absolute precision and
uniformity. Whilst our high quality LED modules provide ultra-bright
light output.
The entire luminaire comes completely assembled, as a plug-and-play
component, ready to be installed into a lighting application. We have
a range of thicknesses: 10mm, 8mm, 6mm so no matter what the
application is, we have a Light Panel to suit.
All of our light panels are designed, tested, manufactured and
assembled in the UK and come with a 3 year warranty, for
complete peace of mind.
“We believe that a well engineered product
need not cost more to make than a badly
engineered product. Good engineering
and quality manufacturing underpin our
business philosophy of delivering value
to our clients.” – Nick Wraith M.D.
3. Why specify Unibox Light Panels?
The Light Panel fits into very slim apertures, illuminating surfaces without
the need for bulky frames to house the light source.
It provides uniform illumination even in the most restrictive of applications,
meaning your display will look beautiful and professional.
The Unibox Light Panel has been developed with installation in mind,
making it the easiest of its kind to fit into any design. Features such as:
utilising the Weiland Gesis Micro muti-way connector system, an ultra-
strong strain relief design and no protruding cable grommet make our
Light Panel very easy to handle and install.
We have developed our product to be the highest efficacy possible, due to
a combination of LED module specification and our propriety machining
process. Ensuring a bright display whilst using less energy and costs.
We make our light panels at our factory in the UK using state of the art
CNC laser machinery guaranteeing millimetre precision and perfect sizing.
Made to a British standard we can provide quick delivery and give you the
confidence of buying a quality reliable product.
Being the manufacturers means we can produce bespoke sizes and
shapes without affecting lead-times.

Technology
The Unibox Light Panel is designed to be a sub-assembly
component. It can be built into any project that requires illumination.
The core element of this product is the specially selected, optical
grade clear cast acrylic, to which we laser-etch our propriety ‘dot
matrix’ pattern onto. The etching to the face of the acrylic changes the
refractive index of the material. Changing the refractive index means
light being shone into the side of the panel has a way to escape
through the face of it. Without this etching process, any light shone
into the edge of an acrylic panel would simply bounce around inside
it, only to escape out of the opposite edge. With the dot matrix pattern
etched into the acrylic we can turn what was a thin strip of LED lights
into a flat panel of light.
The main challenge when producing a light panel is ensuring that
the same amount of light is escaping from every part of the face. We
have achieved this through the extensive, in-house development of a
software algorithm that can calculate the exact pattern required for
any size panel, and output that job specific pattern to our large format
CNC laser, ready for etching to the acrylic. This proprietary algorithm
alters the size, shape, and distance between each dot for 2 main
benefits:
Uniformity of light across the entire face, ensuring no dark patches.
Extracting the most amount of light possible from the LED’s, making
the panel as energy efficient as possible.

Multi-Panel Connectivity
Where applications require multiple light panels which may need to
be powered by a single power supply unit (transformer), the Unibox
Light Panel utilises the Gesis Micro connector system by Weiland. We
selected this system for its multi-way connector options and its easy
of use when installing.
