Creating Custom Signage Lighting with LED Strip Lights Ft. KK Wood Co.

When it comes to what you can decorate and illuminate with LED strip lights, the sky (or ceiling) is truly the limit. Whether it is adding ambient light throughout your home, task lighting under kitchen cabinets, or bias lighting behind your TV, you will find the versatility of LED strip lights to be unmatched. One area where strip lights really shine is accent lighting. The purpose of accent lighting, also known as highlighting, is to draw attention to a particular element in your home or business such as artwork, plants, furnishings and of course, custom signage. Lighting can make your signs come to life.

Accent lighting with LED strips can turn an ordinary sign into a stunning work of art. It’s perfect for businesses who are looking for their brands to stand out, especially in the evening hours. It’s equally great for homes, such as home bars, media rooms, man caves, and more.

Meet Krissy & KK Wood Co.

One of our customers, Krissy, owner of KK Wood Co., shows the potential of adding LED strip lights to signage. Armed with an Epilog Fusion Pro laser cutter and engraver, Krissy creates personalized, hand-made signage from hardwood, acrylic, and other materials.

This is why we were thrilled when we found out that Krissy chose Super Bright LEDs as her source for LED lighting to add to her signs.

To illuminate her signs, Krissy adds single-color 12V LED strips, which apply easily with their 3M adhesive backing. She powers them with a 12V DC battery power supply, which allows her signs to be installed anywhere with no unsightly power cords. 

Occasionally, she even adds multiple single-color LED strips to provide a unique effect.
