Applelec Bespoke Portable PowerPack highly commended in Innovative Product of the Year at Sign Industry Awards 2026

Applelec’s Bespoke Portable PowerPack has been recognised with a highly commended award in the Innovative Product of the Year category at the Sign Industry Awards 2026.


Developed to support illuminated applications where access to mains power is limited or unavailable, the Bespoke Portable PowerPack reflects Applelec’s continued focus on practical innovation and project led problem solving.


For Applelec Projects, it represents a useful extension of how we support clients, helping deliver flexible illuminated solutions in environments where fixed power is not always possible.


Solving power constraints in real-world applications

While many lighting schemes are designed with fixed infrastructure in mind, there are a growing number of environments where power access is limited or unavailable.


This includes:

  • Temporary installations and pop-ups

  • Heritage or sensitive environments

  • Exhibition and display applications

  • Retrofit projects where infrastructure changes are restricted


The Bespoke Portable PowerPack has been developed to address these challenges, providing a reliable, self-contained power source that supports consistent illumination without reliance on fixed electrical connections.


Engineered for performance and integration

Unlike standard battery solutions, the Portable PowerPack is configured to match the specific requirements of the lighting system it supports.


Key considerations include:

  • Output tailored to the exact voltage and wattage required

  • Consistent, stable illumination throughout the discharge cycle

  • Optimised runtimes aligned to project usage patterns

  • Reduced need for additional drivers or converters


This ensures the lighting performance remains consistent, while also supporting longer product life and improved efficiency.


Designed to integrate into the wider system

As with all Applelec Projects solutions, the PowerPack is not treated as a standalone product, but as part of a fully considered system.


Enclosures can be tailored to suit the application, with options that consider:

  • Environmental requirements

  • Accessibility and maintenance

  • Integration within furniture, displays or architectural elements


This allows the Portable PowerPack to be incorporated seamlessly into the overall design, rather than dictating it.


Supporting flexible project delivery

The ability to deliver illuminated features without reliance on fixed power opens up new possibilities across a range of sectors.


For specifiers and designers, this provides:

  • Greater freedom in early-stage concept development

  • Reduced constraints when working within existing environments

  • A viable solution for temporary or mobile installations

  • Confidence in delivering consistent lighting performance


Recognised innovation

Receiving a highly commended award in the Innovative Product of the Year category reflects the value of solutions that respond to genuine project challenges.


Through Applelec Projects, the Bespoke Portable PowerPack forms part of a broader offer — combining lighting, fabrication and integrated system thinking to help bring more complex schemes to life.
