Our ultra-thin LED light panels are custom manufactured for backlighting Cristallo quartzite, onyx, marble, translucent stone, glass, architectural resin, solid surface materials and other light-transmitting surfaces.

From backlit kitchen islands and countertops to illuminated backsplashes, feature walls, bars and commercial installations, each lighting system is designed around the dimensions, material and requirements of the individual project.

We ship globally, including throughout the USA, and pride ourselves on providing fast, reliable service. Let Nu World bring your vision to life with LED backlighting that transforms your surfaces into backlit and glowing works of art.

What Can Our LED Light Panels Backlight?

Our custom LED light panels can be used behind a wide range of translucent materials and architectural surfaces. Because light transmission can vary significantly between materials and even between individual slabs, we always recommend testing the actual surface before finalizing the backlighting system.

Common materials used for architectural backlighting include:

  • Cristallo & Translucent Quartzite – Highly translucent quartzites can produce dramatic illumination through crystalline areas, veining and natural patterns.
  • Onyx – One of the most widely used natural stones for backlighting, with excellent translucency and dramatic color variation.
  • Marble – Certain varieties of marble contain translucent areas that can create beautiful effects when properly backlit.
  • Solid Surface Materials – Translucent solid-surface products can provide consistent light transmission for countertops, walls and architectural features.
  • Glass & Architectural Resin – Decorative glass, resin panels and other translucent architectural materials can be illuminated to create feature walls, displays and custom installations.
  • Other Translucent Materials – Our custom LED light panels can also be designed for artwork, decorative panels and many other light-transmitting surfaces.
