Eco Lightbox
Applelec Projects ECO Lightboxes are engineered to deliver high quality illuminated features with a significantly reduced environmental impact.
Designed as a fully integrated system and powered by Applelec Light Engines, ECO Lightboxes combine consistent, uniform illumination with a material-led approach to sustainability. From recycled and recyclable components to energy efficient lighting performance, every element is considered to support both specification requirements and environmental responsibility.
Key features
Sustainable by design
Engineered using recycled and recyclable materials, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance.
Slimline, lightweight construction
32mm profile with low material weight, supporting easier handling, installation and reduced structural load.
Consistent, high quality illumination
Powered by Applelec Light Engines, delivering uniform light output across the surface with no visible spotting.
Designed for reuse and circularity
Interchangeable graphics and disassemblable construction support long term reuse and end-of-life recovery.
Slimline construction, practical installation
Designed to balance sustainability with real-world installation requirements.
-
Slimline 32mm depth for shallow applications
-
Lightweight construction (approx. 4.2kg per m²)
-
Pre-wired systems to reduce installation time and risk
-
Interchangeable graphics allow quick updates without replacing the full system
This makes ECO Lightboxes suitable for projects requiring both efficiency on site and long term flexibility.
Designed for specification and long term use
ECO Lightboxes are developed to support specification from concept through to installation and beyond.
-
Suitable for retail, commercial and architectural environments
-
Designed to integrate with Applelec Light Engines systems
-
WEEE compliant and aligned with sustainable procurement goals
-
Independent testing highlights high efficiency and material reuse potential
“This Eco Lightbox is the most efficient design we’ve independently tested and exceeds dc005 testing by more than 18%...69% of ECO Lightbox materials can be re-used at the end of the LED’s life cycle, proving its sustainable design.” Design Conformity
This ensures the system delivers not only visual performance, but also measurable environmental value.
"BrightLINE from Applelec Lighting was the ideal system for this project as the lightboxes were exceptionally shallow at just 60mm depths. The slim LED solutions fitted perfectly within the challenging location, and achieved a flawless finish for the faux window designs. The system couldn’t have been easier to fit, with Applelec Lighting pre-mounting the BrightLINE solutions ready for an extremely quick installation."

Sustainable materials and circular design
ECO Lightboxes are developed with sustainability embedded into the system, not applied as an afterthought.
-
Backlit skins manufactured from recycled yarn and plastic bottles, printed using water-based, non-toxic inks
-
Recycled wood-pulp rigid backing offering a fully recyclable alternative to traditional rigid plastics
-
Frames constructed from recyclable aluminium or stainless steel
-
Designed for disassembly, enabling reuse and material recovery at end of life
-
Eligible for refurbishment or recycling through the Applelec Recycling Scheme
-
Recognised as a finalist for Best Sustainable/Eco Friendly Product at the VM & Display Awards 2024
-
One tree is planted with every order, extending the positive environmental impact beyond the product itself
This approach allows specifiers to achieve illuminated features while supporting circular design principles and sustainability targets.

Efficient illumination with reduced impact
ECO Lightboxes are powered by Applelec Light Engines, delivering both performance and efficiency.
-
Prism lens LED technology maximises light output and reduces wasted light
-
High efficacy performance with up to 163 lumens per watt
-
Up to 50% higher efficiency compared to standard solutions
-
Consistent light distribution across the illuminated surface
-
Long life performance with maintained colour consistency with 5 year warranty on LED components
This enables bright, uniform illumination while reducing energy consumption and ongoing operational impact.
