Light Guide Panel / Product Detail
Custom Light Guide Panels
Project-built edge-lit panels with customized dimensions, profiles, optical materials, CRI, control systems, and luminous finishes for commercial, architectural, and OEM applications.
What It Is
A slim optical panel that turns edge light into a bright, even surface.
A light guide panel uses LED light from the edge and redirects it through a precision guide pattern. The result is a thin illuminated surface with balanced brightness across the panel.
It is ideal for retail displays, advertising signage, ceiling features, translucent walls, furniture, OEM lighting modules, and custom illuminated products.
Light Entry Layout
LED input is selected around optical span and panel geometry.
Short spans can be evaluated with one-edge input. Longer rectangular panels generally use two opposing edges, while large or near-square panels are reviewed for four-edge input and balanced thermal loading.
Typical Construction
A project-sized optical stack with concealed edge lighting.
This original FH reference drawing shows how the visible diffuser, patterned PMMA plate, edge LED source, reflective backing, thermal channel, and cable exit work together. Final dimensions follow the approved project drawing.

Engineering Baseline
Optical, mechanical, electrical, and supply information in one place.
Values below are the FH engineering baseline. The approved drawing and quotation define the final build.
| Panel & Optical Structure | |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing Technology | Laser-dot, engraved-line, laser-engraved, screen-printed, or UV-printed optical pattern selected by size, uniformity, volume, and budget. |
| Pattern Capacity | Laser-dot panels up to 1500 mm wide; screen-printed panels up to 1200 x 2400 mm. Other processes require drawing review. |
| PMMA Panel Thickness | 3-10 mm (0.118-0.394 in) reference light guide plate thickness. |
| Finished Size | Custom to drawing. Large or transport-sensitive surfaces can be divided into aligned, serviceable modules. |
| Overall Finish | Frameless, concealed aluminum channel, crystal edge, taped edge, or protected rear profile as required. |
| Light Entry | One, two, three, or four sides, selected from optical span, panel shape, target uniformity, and LED load. |
| Diffusion Layer | Optional opal film, diffuser sheet, or approved translucent face material. |
| Reflection Layer | Optional 0.25-0.40 mm high-reflectance sheet or project-selected protected rear panel. |
| Mounting | Mounting profile, support points, and installation hardware are developed from the project drawing and included only when itemized. |
| Light & Electrical | |
| Light Effect | 2700K-6500K white, tunable white, RGB, or RGBW. CRI and control follow the approved LED package. |
| Input Voltage | 24V DC typical panel input. Power supply, controller, and cable rating are sized to the finished LED load. |
| Cable Exit & Connector | Exit position, lead length, connector type, and control interface are customized to the installation drawing. |
| Operating Environment | Indoor use is standard. The operating range is confirmed for the selected LED, driver, sealing, and thermal system. |
| Protected Electrical Option | Protected LED strips, sealed connectors, controlled cable exits, and a suitable driver enclosure can be specified for damp locations. |
| Design Life Basis | Project-specific. The quotation identifies the selected LED and driver basis, duty cycle, and thermal conditions used for the design-life reference. |
| Production & Delivery | |
| Sample Production | Normally 7-15 production days after drawing and specification confirmation. Logistics transit time is not included. |
| Bulk Production | Lead time is confirmed after sample approval according to structure, quantity, material availability, and packing requirements. |
| Shipping & Freight | Courier, air, sea, or a nominated forwarder can be selected. Freight is excluded unless itemized in the quotation. |
Final performance depends on panel geometry, viewing distance, LED selection, thermal management, installation, and the approved sample. Certification or compliance documentation is supplied only when specified and confirmed.
Panel Formats
Flexible, linear, and custom shapes use the same light guide platform.
Format names describe geometry and installation, not separate optical products. The final build is selected after reviewing the panel span, bend requirement, LED entry direction, luminous finish, and support structure.
Send drawings for review →
Curve direction, bend radius, optical pattern, LED entry, and support method are reviewed together.
Linear Light Guide
Long, narrow light guide sections for coves, shelves, counters, corridors, and continuous features.
- Best for
- Long runs with a controlled luminous width
- Confirm
- Run length, joints, feed direction, and support
Flexible or Curved Light Sheet
Thin curved formats reviewed around the material, allowable bend, brightness target, and installation surface.
- Best for
- Curved features and shallow-profile surfaces
- Confirm
- Bend radius, curve direction, span, and fixing method
Custom Geometry
Round, oval, polygonal, organic, or joined panels developed from approved project drawings.
- Best for
- Project-specific outlines and modular surfaces
- Confirm
- CAD outline, joints, finish, wiring, and packing
Environmental Protection
Waterproofing is configured at the LED system level. For damp or semi-outdoor locations, FH selects a protected LED strip, sealed connectors, controlled cable entry, and a suitable driver enclosure. Final protection is confirmed for the complete electrical assembly and installation conditions.
Custom Process
A practical path from concept to production.
Project brief
Share drawings, size, quantity, LED color, installation position, and environmental requirements.
Optical proposal
Material, light guide structure, LED strip selection, and diffusion layer are matched to the brief.
Sample testing
Brightness, uniformity, edge detail, color temperature, and assembly are checked during the 7-15 day sample production stage.
Production & packing
Panels are inspected and packed for the customer-selected shipping method; transit time and freight are separate from production.
FAQ
Key details buyers usually confirm first.
Can the panels be made in custom sizes?
Yes. Panels can be produced in small-format sizes, large-format panels, or tiled systems for bigger illuminated surfaces.
What color temperatures are available?
Color temperature, single-color output, tunable white, RGB, and RGBW configurations are selected around the customer brief and the required LED system.
What information is needed for a quote?
Panel size, quantity, application, desired light effect, material preference, installation method, environmental exposure, and frameless requirements are the most useful starting points.
Where are light guide panels commonly used?
Retail displays, signage, architectural ceilings, translucent walls, furniture lighting, exhibition booths, OEM products, and industrial applications.
How long does a custom sample take?
Sample production normally takes 7-15 production days after drawings and specifications are confirmed. Courier or freight transit time is not included.
How is shipping arranged?
Courier, air, sea, or a nominated forwarder can be selected according to size, schedule, and destination. Transit time and freight are separate unless they are included in the quotation.
