When it comes to illuminated signage, terms like backlit and lightbox often get used interchangeably — but they’re not quite the same.
Backlit Signage refers to graphics or letters illuminated from behind using LED or fluorescent lights. These are typically flat panels, often mounted flush against walls, giving a sleek and modern glow.
Lightbox Signs, on the other hand, are three-dimensional boxes with internal lighting and a printed or translucent front panel. They’re highly visible and great for storefronts, malls, or outdoor ads.
Quick summary:
Backlit signage = flat + modern + glow from behind
Lightbox signs = box-shaped + durable + perfect for visibility
