WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION — 6 STEPS

Our most popular mounting method. Stand-off screws create a 12mm gap behind the sign for a beautiful backlit glow.

01
Unbox and Inspect

Remove the sign from protective packaging. Check the acrylic backboard, LED tubes, and power adaptor for any damage. Plug in briefly to test that the sign illuminates. Keep the box for future transport.

02
Choose Your Position

Hold the sign against the wall at your desired location. Consider visibility, power outlet proximity (3m cable included), and wall type (drywall, brick, or timber). Use a level to ensure it is straight.

03
Mark the Drill Points

With the sign held in position, use a pencil to mark through the pre-drilled holes onto the wall. Remove the sign and place it face-down on a soft surface. Double-check your marks with a measuring tape.

04
Drill Pilot Holes

Using a 6mm drill bit, drill pilot holes at each marked point. For brick or concrete, insert the wall anchors provided. For drywall, the included anchors grip directly. For timber, screws go straight in.

05
Mount the Stand-offs

Screw the metal stand-off barrel into each wall anchor. Then align your sign and thread each stand-off pin through the acrylic backboard holes. Screw the decorative cap onto each pin to secure the sign 12mm from the wall.

06
Connect and Enjoy

Connect the power adaptor cable to the sign. Plug the adaptor into your wall outlet. Use the included dimmer remote to power on, adjust brightness, and set your preferred mode. Installation complete.
