Light Engines

Light Engines are Applelec Projects’ pre-manufactured LED backlighting systems, engineered to deliver consistent, uniform illumination across a wide range of applications. Designed as part of a complete solution, Light Engines combine controlled LED placement with bespoke fabrication, ensuring predictable performance, clean visual results and efficient installation on site. By removing the variability often associated with on-site LED layouts, they give specifiers greater confidence in achieving the intended lighting outcome.

Capable of illuminating deeper builds without visible spotting, Light Engines provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative to more complex systems, while maintaining high quality light performance across the finished surface.

Key features

Precision LED spacing

Every Light Engine is manufactured with exact LED positioning, ensuring consistent illumination and eliminating uneven results — giving specifiers confidence in performance.

Faster installation

Pre-manufactured systems are supplied ready to fit, removing the need for on-site adjustment. This reduces installation times, minimises labour costs, and lowers the risk of error.

Premium illumination

Wide choice of colour temperatures available including high CRI options and highly energy efficient LEDs with tight colour consistency across panels. Light quality can be tuned to suit the surface material and application for a refined, professional finish.

UK manufactured to specification

Every Light Engine is built to your drawings and dimensions, ensuring a precise fit for each project. Manufactured in the UK with a focus on durability and serviceability, our systems are backed by a 5-year warranty for added confidence. Technical support is provided from design through to installation, and end-of-life responsibility can be supported through the Applelec Recycling Scheme where applicable components apply.

LED Light Engines installed for uniform architectural backlighting

Easy to install

Light Engines are manufactured to project-specific layouts, allowing for straightforward installation with minimal on-site adjustment. Each system is designed to align with the intended application, reducing complexity and ensuring consistency from first fix through to completion.

Pre-defined layouts remove the guesswork typically associated with LED placement, helping contractors achieve accurate spacing and reliable performance while reducing installation time and potential errors on site.

Designed around your project

Every Light Engine is developed to suit the specific requirements of the project, from size and shape through to light output and application depth.

By tailoring the system at design stage, Applelec Projects ensures the lighting solution integrates seamlessly with surrounding materials and fabrication, supporting both performance and visual intent without compromise.

LED Light Engines for curved surface backlighting

Consistent, high quality illumination

Light Engines are engineered to deliver even, consistent illumination across the full surface, maintaining uniformity even across larger or more complex installations.

Capable of illuminating deeper applications without visible spotting, Light Engines provide a reliable solution where both performance and visual finish are critical. This makes them a strong alternative where traditional LED layouts may struggle to achieve uniform results.

High CRI and a range of colour options are available to support both functional and aesthetic lighting requirements.

Architectural LED Light Engines for feature lighting installation

"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."
