Proluxe by American Lighting LED Backlight Canvas Sheets
The LED lighting fixture category has opened up all sorts of avenues for integrators to wow designers and clients with stunning solutions addressing many areas and applications. Something that caught my eye, beyond the usual lighting fixture types, are 2×1 canvas sheets with individual LED diodes that can be used for backlighting applications – most notably for beautifying places such as kitchen backsplashes and onyx countertops and islands. “You can take the sheets and cut them down to size, there’s multiple places you can cut,” says Proluxe national sales manager Jennifer Kirkpatrick. “Accent walls are becoming more popular. I have a dealer that has a customer who’s putting up a Himalayan sea salt stone wall, it’s over 60 feet long and they’re backlighting it with this canvas. It’s a $90,000 job – but the main place they’re using it is to underlight countertops.”
