Our proprietary LED light panel software and laser machines enable us to have full targeted control over:
- Pattern style
- Spacing
- Size
- Dot depth
A Proven Process
We first create an arrangement of precise dot patterns that are laser etched towards the edge of the panel closer to the led strips. As you move further from the LED light source, the distance of the dot pattern gradually becomes more narrowly spaced creating an even distribution of light. These patterns act as “channels” helping to distribute the spread of light evenly across the entire LED light panel.
This approach towards creating dot matrix diffusion patterns guarantees a 100% even-lit illumination across every Lightpanel AIR LED light panels.
Perfect Light Diffusion Patterns
Lightpanel is the only US manufacturer that uses laser’s and proprietary software to create a fully enhanced dot-matrix LED light panel pattern
| Process | Laser | CNC V-Cutting | Silk Screen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pattern type | Dots or Lines | Lines | Dots |
| Pattern quality | Best | Good | Poor |
| Pattern optimization | Custom | Limited | Limited |
| Light distribution | 100% | 80% | 60%-70% |
| Lead times | 1-2 weeks | 2-4 weeks | 2-4 weeks |
| Takeaways | Ultra bright, fully even lit | Bright, close to even lit | Moderate brightness, semi even lit |
Advanced Laser Cutting
As opposed to competitors, LIGHTPANEL uses laser machines for ultra-fast precise cutting. This enables, the LED light to clearly shine through the light guide panels.
