Custom Metal Faced Mini Letters with Edge and Back Lighting
Custom metal faced mini letters with edge and back LED lighting. Small dimensional letters with a metal face plate, glowing from the sides and back, ideal for offices, retail stores, hotels and reception areas. OEM from China.
Product Overview
Custom metal faced mini letters with edge and back lighting are small dimensional letters with a metal face plate and LED illumination from the sides and back. The metal face gives the letters a clean, premium look, while edge and back lighting creates a soft glow that makes the lettering visible without a bright front face.
These mini letters are produced to the customer’s design — lettering, sizes, metal face finish, LED color and lighting intensity can all be customized. They are ideal for offices, retail stores, hotels, reception areas and commercial interiors. For an overview of mini letter types and designs, see our guide: Mini LED Letters Guide: Types, Bevel Edge Designs and Applications.
