An innovative design combining clear acrylic rods with LED lighting in Events Cinemas in Top Ryde has attracted many positive reviews. The number of each cinema theatre is displayed by 25mm diameter polished acrylic rods and lit up from behind giving the theatre a distinct modern touch.
Acrylic sheet, rods and tubes are extensively utilised by designers and engineers for architectural lighting projects. The combination of LED and acrylic can achieve incredible results in retail, hotel, commercial and high end residential applications. Clear Acrylic rods will achieve the ''cool'' light effect as seen by the attached photo.
