Without engineering, LEDs show dots. This kills luxury appeal.

Solution Methods:

✔ Cavity Lighting Method

  • 50mm–100mm gap
  • LEDs behind panel
  • Light spreads evenly

✔ LGP – Light Guide Plate Method

Used in: • LED TVs
• Slim tables
• Premium wall panels

LED Selection

  • Zig Zag LED Strips (for curves & round tables)
  • 3000K warm
  • 4000K natural
  • RGBW (premium category only)
