backlit movie poster frames (1 Viewer)

[magnum4ce]

About to purchase a couple of backlight frames from River City Theaters site. Was just wondering if anyone has purchased their frames and what your thoughts on them are if you have?

I'm looking to buy 3 in total. 2 of them will be for 27 x 40 sized one sheet ds posters. And the 3rd one will be for 27 x 41 posters. The ones I'm contemplating purchasing are hard wired from the back, with 4 fluorescent lights. Side loading, I've installed permanently to the wall. 325.00 each, including shipping. That would be these...

Hollywood Marquees has a really nice frame but at almost twice the price

My preferred look, build and style would be these..

But the 400.00 price takes me out of my price range AND they are only edge lit with led lighting, which concerns me that the posters won't be lit evenly or brightly.

Does anyone here have any first hand, in person experience with either of these backlit frames?

Welcome to the forum Douglas Sorry never used them but hope you dont mind an alternative suggestion. IMO theyre way overpriced, theyre basically lighted shadow boxes. I would be talking to my local cabinet maker and ask them what they would charge to custom build before dropping $1k. BTW only your middle link is working for me.

I think there are a few useful lightbox characteristics to be mindful of when picking your unit. These incorporate the color and materials used to develop the edge around the unit. The lightbox casing is regularly built of either wood or aluminum. You must to be mindful of the kind of lights used to light up the crate (most utilize one or more 36" fluorescent lights) and if the unit secures the Poster from the high temperature of the lights. Hot running lightboxes can harm, pucker and fade posters. Most lightboxes are planned with some kind of cooling framework and Protection for the Posters
