Precision Edge-Lighting for Blade Signs and Double-Sided Displays

The 38x56º asymmetrical LED modules are the premier technical choice for perimeter or edge-lighting. Their design is specifically optimized to meet the challenges of projecting blade signs, totems, and double-sided lightboxes, where front-lighting is either impossible or inefficient.

Unlike standard modules, our 38x56º range projects a concentrated elliptical beam that throws light from the edges toward the center of the sign. This allows for the illumination of large-format surfaces by installing modules only along the frame, ensuring total uniformity with no central shadows or unsightly "zebra" effects.

Tailored Power and Voltage for Your Project

To cover every technical requirement, we offer three power levels and two power systems:

  • Efficiency and Precision (1.44W & 2.1W): Ideal for medium-sized blade signs and lightboxes seeking the perfect balance between consumption and brightness.
  • High Performance (6W): A true "light cannon" designed for gas station totems and large-format signs where the projection distance exceeds 2 meters.
  • Electrical Versatility: Available in 12V for high-safety installations and 220V for direct grid connection, enabling fast setups without external power supplies.

Color Temperatures for Every Brand Identity

We know brand consistency is key, which is why we offer three shades:

  • Pure White (6000K-6500K): Maximum brilliance for modern corporate advertising.
  • Neutral White (4000K-4500K): Natural clarity that maintains the integrity of printed vinyl colors.
  • Warm White (3000K): Elegance and comfort for decorative and hospitality applications.

By lighting from the perimeter, you will reduce the number of modules required by up to 60% and eliminate the weight of internal backplates. With IP67 protection, these modules are the professional choice for long-lasting, high-impact signage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 38x56º optics and 160º or 170º optics?

160º-175º optics are wide-angle and mount behind the face to light flat cabinets. The 38x56º optic is asymmetrical and directional: it mounts on the side frame and projects light toward the center — essential for blade signs and double-sided displays where light must travel across the cabinet interior.

How many 38x56º modules do I need per meter of blade sign?

Rule of thumb: 1.44W module every 10-12 cm for signs up to 15 cm depth; 2.1W (220V) module every 15-18 cm; CREE 6W module every 25-30 cm for XL blade signs.

Can I mix different 12V wattages on the same power supply?

Yes, as long as the driver covers the total wattage with 20% headroom. Being all 12V DC, 1.44W and 6W modules can share the same run. 220V modules are wired independently, no driver needed.

Is the 220V module more dangerous to install?

It must be wired by a qualified electrician per local electrical code. In return it removes the driver (fewer failure points) and simplifies maintenance. All our 220V modules are IP65 with double insulation.

Which color temperature is recommended for outdoor signage?

Pure white 6500K is the industry standard for maximum brightness and contrast. Neutral white 4000K suits premium retail and hospitality branding, and warm white 3000K is used in decorative or restaurant applications.
