TylerCo was asked to write an article for Int’l Surface Fabricators Association’s magazine, “Countertops & Architectural Surfaces”. The article details how to backlight translucent surfaces, the digital version of the magazine is online at http://www.tylercoinc.com/news.html
Typically acrylic will work fine. You just want something that will let the light pass through as much as possible.
In response to the article above.
In my opinion trimming panels on site and figuring out how to run all the individual power leads is time-consuming and leaves to much room for error.
Plus depending on the quality of your stone, your can in some cases end up with lines where the panels meet edge to edge. An example is shown below.
Since the stone company will usually make either a template, which you can have scanned and turned into CAD file, or they will make a CAD file from the start you can take that CAD file and send it to a company like Knema.com which can have a single custom sized LED edge-lit panel made for you in as little as a week.
This is a much better option as you are only dealing with one panel, one power lead and usually one power supply. Also no worrying about unsightly seams from using multiple panels.
