A low voltage LED light source providing
even, indirect illumination.
White LEDs are recessed into the edge of
optical grade acrylic sheet, tooled with a
patented system of light channels to
distribute and amplify the light output across
the surface of the LitePad.
The result is a light source that can be
fashioned into virtually any shape or size and
serve as bright, indirect lighting in
architectural, signage or decorative
applications.

As building development
encroached on this NY church,
the natural sunlight was blocked
from the beautiful Tiffany
windows.
The depth between the window
and the adjacent wall was not
sufficient to evenly diffuse the
fluorescent tubes or cover the
entire window.
Litepads are a perfect solution to
backlight the entire window and
maintain even light coverage
without lamp “hotspotting”.

During a recent redesign
of this City of Calgary
building, Mulvey + Banani
were asked to keep the
structure of this former
video wall and replace
the monitors with backlit
images from around the
city.
Custom LitePads were
the perfect solution for
this challenge, as they
were fabricated to the
exact measurements of
the existing frames.

Designed by the architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg, the Museum of Human Evolution located in Burgos,
Spain is the largest museum of its kind in the world. The museum exhibits an impressive collection of
original first fossils to be found at the nearby archaeological site of Atapuerca.
LitePads are used throughout the museum to backlight images and to light fragile
artefacts, revealing itself as a perfect light source for exhibition displays.

The newly re-designed storefront for
Dior’s flagship store in New York
City is now the beacon of 57th
Street. The architects were tasked
with backlighting a series of
decorative vinyl and steel patterns
with bright, even light, while
maintaining low power consumption.
Presented with the design challenge
of working within the existing
framework, Litepad’s thin profile
addressed all the concerns and
allowed for a fully customized fit.
Color temperature and simplicity of
installation were also key factors in
the Rosco Litepad being the perfect
choice to meet and exceed this
potentially challenging task.
