channels to distribute and amplify the light output across the surface of the LitePad.

1 A low voltage LED light source providing even, indirect illumination. White LEDs are recessed into the edge of optical grade acrylic sheet, tooled with a patented system of light channels to distribute and amplify the light output across the surface of the LitePad. The result is a light source that can be fashioned into virtually any shape or size and serve as bright, indirect lighting in architectural, signage or decorative applications.
