Get Answers for FAQs

How do backlit displays work?
Backlit displays use LED panels mounted behind translucent SEG fabric graphics. The light passes through the printed fabric, making your visuals glow evenly from edge to edge. Unlike spotlit graphics or overhead lighting, the light source is built into the display itself, so the effect is consistent regardless of the show floor lighting.
Are they hard to set up?
No. Most backlit kits assemble in 30 to 60 minutes with two people. The aluminum frames snap together, the LED panels mount into the frame, and the SEG fabric graphics slide into the channel with no tools required. Every kit ships with labeled parts and clear instructions. If you would rather not handle it, we offer on-site install nationwide.
Can I travel with a backlit display?
Yes. Backlit displays are designed to break down into compact shipping cases that travel easily by ground or air. The frames disassemble, the LED panels stack flat, and the fabric graphics fold without creasing thanks to wrinkle-resistant SEG material. Ask about portable carry cases for smaller backlit kits that fit airline checked baggage requirements.
Can I reuse the graphics?
Yes. SEG fabric graphics are reusable across multiple shows and travel well between events. When your messaging or branding changes, you can reprint just the graphics while keeping the same LED hardware. Reprints cost a fraction of buying a new display.
Do they require power at the show?
Yes. Backlit displays plug into a standard 110V outlet at your booth. Most show venues offer booth electrical packages through the show organizer or general contractor. We provide the power cords with every kit, and we will tell you the wattage requirements so you can order the right electrical service for your booth size and number of backlit components.
