Projecting Light Boxes (Blade Signs)

Projecting Light Boxes (also known as Blade Signs) by BASISSIGN are double-sided, UL-listed illuminated cabinets engineered to capture two-way pedestrian foot traffic. Featuring a slim but rugged aluminum frame, optical-grade acrylic faces, and brilliant internal LED illumination, they deliver high-clarity branding with consistent brightness across the entire panel.

Unlike standard flat wall signage, projecting signs are built to mount perpendicular to the building facade. This makes them the ultimate high-visibility solution for high-street retail chains, urban storefronts, and commercial corridors where maximizing visual reach and pedestrian engagement is critical.

Configuration options

  • Shape & Profile: square, rectangular, round, or custom architectural contours
  • Cabinet Frame: extruded aluminum with custom powder-coated or painted finishes
  • Faces: flat or pan-formed translucent acrylic (designed for easy vinyl graphic application)
  • Lighting: specialized edge-lit or densely packed 12V/24V LEDs for zero-shadow, double-sided illumination
  • Mounting Bracket: heavy-duty structural steel or thick aluminum flanges engineered for local wind-load requirements
  • Serviceability: accessible retaining clips or slide-out tracks for rapid graphic updates

What Projecting Light Boxes (Blade Signs) means

A projecting blade sign is a two-sided illuminated cabinet that protrudes outward from a wall or hangs beneath a canopy. Rather than relying on point-light individual letters, the entire acrylic face glows evenly, presenting detailed logos, typography, and imagery with precision.
Note: For US contractors installing projecting signs, the two biggest liabilities are structural failure in high winds and difficult maintenance. BASIS SIGN eliminates these risks. Our pre-assembled blade signs feature structurally welded, heavy-duty mounting brackets for maximum safety, and easy-access face retainer systems. Your clients can swap out vinyl graphics or acrylic panels effortlessly without requiring expensive specialized labor, ensuring high ROI and zero liability for your team.

    Projecting Light Boxes (Blade Signs) Specs (Wholesale)

    Technical Specs (Commercial-Grade)

    Because blade signs extend over public walkways, secure and code-compliant mounting is mandatory. We provide heavy-duty brackets tailored to the architectural structure.

    1. Standard Wall Flange Mount (Most Common): A heavy-duty welded plate bolted directly to the vertical masonry or storefront mullion. Hides the primary electrical connection inside the mounting arm.
    2. Under-Canopy / Ceiling Mount: Engineered to hang downward from architectural overhangs, awnings, or indoor mall ceilings, keeping the sidewalk completely clear.
    3. Corner Wrap Mount: A specialized angled bracket designed to mount the projecting sign directly on the outside corner of a building, capturing traffic from two intersecting streets.
