Wallis high power side-lit LED module is a professional edge-lighting solution designed for double-sided advertising light boxes, SEG fabric light boxes, illuminated signage, retail displays and large-format commercial display systems. The listed A-9D470-XPG model combines high-output XPG LEDs, precision PMMA optical lenses and a constant-current circuit to deliver strong and controlled side illumination.
Operating at a nominal DC24V, the main 470 mm model provides 27W power, 2200 lm luminous flux, 6500K cool white output and a 10 × 25° optical beam. The narrow asymmetric beam helps project light across the interior of a light box rather than concentrating brightness close to the LED source.
This side-lighting design is particularly suitable for commercial light boxes with sufficient internal depth, including suitable double-sided structures of approximately 80 mm depth or greater depending on cabinet dimensions, diffuser materials, target brightness and optical layout.
For B2B buyers, sign manufacturers, SEG light box factories and display contractors, Wallis can support module selection, quantity calculation, professional cutting, terminal connector soldering and project-based installation recommendations.

Key Features of High Power Side-Lit LED Module
High-output XPG LEDs provide strong luminous performance for professional advertising and display applications. The A-9D470-XPG model delivers approximately 2200 lm at 27W, helping illuminate large graphics with fewer high-power modules than lower-output lighting solutions.
The 10 × 25° optical beam is designed to direct light horizontally across the interior of the light box. A controlled side-lighting beam helps increase useful light transmission distance and reduce excessive brightness close to the module.
Each high-power LED works with a PMMA optical lens to control light direction and distribution. Correct optical control is especially important in side-lit systems because the light must travel across a wider cabinet area before reaching the graphic surface.
The constant-current design helps maintain stable LED operating conditions and consistent brightness. The currently listed design has conversion efficiency above 95%, supporting efficient use of the connected DC power supply.
A nominal DC24V system is practical for commercial light box installations. The current Wallis product information also specifies a DC24–30V wide input design intended to support stable brightness under suitable operating conditions.
High-power LEDs generate more heat than conventional low-power sign modules. Proper installation on an aluminum structure or compatible heat-dissipation profile helps transfer heat away from the PCB, supporting more stable brightness and long-term reliability.
Because the aluminum PCB is approximately 2 mm thick, ordinary manual cutting is not recommended. For projects requiring shorter sections, Wallis can use professional equipment to cut suitable sections and solder terminal connectors before shipment.

Final Light Box Application
A side-lit LED module, also commonly called an edge-lit LED module, side-lighting LED bar or edge-light LED bar, is mounted along one or more sides of a light box frame. Instead of shining directly forward from behind the graphic, the LEDs project light horizontally across the interior of the display.
This installation geometry can be particularly effective for suitable double-sided light boxes because one side-lighting system can help distribute illumination toward both graphic faces. The final lighting result depends on optical lens design, box depth, graphic material, internal reflectivity, module spacing and cabinet dimensions.
| Comparison | Side-Lit / Edge-Lit Module | Backlit Module |
| LED Position | Mounted along the edge or sides of the cabinet | Mounted behind the graphic surface |
| Light Direction | Projects light horizontally across the cabinet | Projects light directly toward the graphic |
| Optical Design | Controlled long-throw lens is important | Usually uses wider forward-distribution optics |
| Typical Application | Double-sided light boxes, SEG frames and edge-lit sign cabinets | Single-sided direct backlit signs and display boxes |
| Selection Depends On | Light transmission distance, box depth and lens angle | Module spacing and distance from graphic |
Neither system is universally better. The correct choice depends on the cabinet structure, graphic size, desired depth, single-sided or double-sided design and required brightness.
High-power LEDs combined with directional lenses are designed to send light farther across the cabinet than conventional low-power modules. This makes side-lit modules suitable for larger advertising displays where light must travel from the edge toward the center.
Correctly positioned side-lighting modules can illuminate suitable double-sided display structures without filling the entire rear surface with LED modules. Proper optical layout can therefore reduce dark centers while controlling LED quantity and installation complexity.
The listed 6500K color temperature provides a bright, crisp white appearance commonly used for illuminated advertising graphics, commercial signs, retail displays and exhibition light boxes.
The listed range includes 27W and 15W models. Different power levels allow lighting designers to select a more appropriate module according to cabinet dimensions, required illumination and installation layout rather than using the same module for every light box.

Cabinet depth affects how the optical beam spreads before reaching the graphic surface. The current Wallis module is particularly intended for suitable light boxes with an internal depth around 80 mm or greater, but the final requirement depends on display width, graphic material and lighting layout.
The distance the light must travel across the cabinet is one of the most important selection factors. Provide both dimensions rather than only the total display area because module orientation and installation side can significantly affect the lighting result.
A double-sided cabinet normally requires a different optical calculation from a single-sided display because both graphic surfaces need adequate illumination. Tell Wallis which structure will be used before selecting module quantity.
The 27W A-9D470-XPG provides higher total luminous output, while the 15W A-5D360-XPG can be considered where a lower-output module better matches the available installation space and required brightness. Final selection should be based on the complete cabinet rather than wattage alone.
SEG fabric, acrylic sheets, backlit film and other graphic materials have different light transmission and diffusion characteristics. This directly influences brightness, module spacing and the visibility of hot or dark areas.
Protection requirements should be specified before ordering. Tell Wallis whether the light box will be installed indoors, outdoors or in a humid environment so the appropriate product and enclosure solution can be confirmed.
There is no single module-count formula that works for every light box. Required quantity depends on cabinet length, width, depth, module beam angle, luminous output, graphic transmission, internal reflection, single-sided or double-sided structure and target brightness.
For some rectangular displays, modules can be installed along the shorter opposite sides and project light across the longer dimension. In other structures, additional modules or different mounting sides may be required to maintain uniformity.
For example, the existing Wallis guidance uses a 115 × 250 cm light box to illustrate that side lighting may be positioned along the 115 cm sides when the optical system can adequately cover the longer distance. This should be treated as a project example rather than a universal installation rule.
Light uniformity depends on the complete optical system rather than LED lumen output alone. A powerful module installed with incorrect spacing or unsuitable cabinet geometry can still create dark centers or excessive brightness near the edges.
Match the optical beam angle with cabinet dimensions.
Maintain consistent spacing between modules.
Keep the optical lenses aligned toward the intended lighting area.
Choose suitable SEG fabric, diffuser or backlit graphic materials.
Use reflective internal surfaces where required by the light box design.
Use shorter module sections where long bars cannot cover the cabinet geometry correctly.
Provide adequate heat dissipation for stable LED output.
Test unusual or large-format cabinets before high-volume production whenever practical.
The listed LED modules use a nominal DC24V supply. Total power supply capacity should be calculated from the number of connected modules, their rated power and an appropriate system design margin.
A project using multiple 27W modules can create a significant total load. Buyers should calculate the complete installation rather than selecting a power supply based on one module alone.
Maximum modules per electrical run should be confirmed from the final wiring and product specification before installation. Do not assume an unlimited number of modules can be connected in one continuous chain.
A suitable aluminum profile or metal light box frame can help conduct heat away from the high-power module. Good thermal contact is especially important in long-duty-cycle advertising displays.
Wallis supports project-based sourcing for light box manufacturers, sign factories, display companies, exhibition contractors, retail fixture manufacturers, distributors and commercial advertising projects.
Different module sizes can be combined according to the internal length of the cabinet. This helps reduce unlit end areas where one long module cannot fit the complete installation geometry.
Where permitted by the module design, Wallis can professionally cut the aluminum PCB into suitable LED sections rather than requiring customers to cut the thick aluminum board with ordinary tools.
Terminal connectors can be prepared before delivery when confirmed with the project, helping simplify assembly and reduce wiring work at the customer's installation site.
Buyers can provide light box drawings or frame photos so module direction, quantity and suitable model selection can be evaluated before ordering.

In light box applications, the terms side-lit and edge-lit are commonly used for the same general lighting geometry: LED modules are positioned along the edge or side of the cabinet and project light inward across the display rather than directly forward from behind the graphic.
Yes. The Wallis high-power side-lit LED module is intended for suitable double-sided light box applications. Final performance depends on cabinet depth, dimensions, graphic material, internal reflection and installation layout.
Current Wallis guidance recommends this type of high-power side-lighting module for suitable light boxes with a depth of approximately 80 mm or greater. Exact requirements depend on the box size, beam direction, graphic material and target brightness.
The listed A-9D470-XPG and A-5D360-XPG models use DC24V nominal input. The connected power supply must be sized according to the total number and power of the installed modules.
The A-9D470-XPG model is rated at 27W with approximately 2200 lm luminous flux and a 6500K cool white color temperature.
The listed models use a 10 × 25° PMMA optical lens. The directional beam helps project illumination across the interior of the light box.
Ordinary cutting is not recommended because the aluminum PCB is approximately 2 mm thick. Where the product design permits, Wallis can use professional equipment to prepare shorter sections and solder suitable terminal connectors before shipment.
Different module lengths help fit light boxes with different internal dimensions. Shorter modules can fill areas where a longer module cannot fit, helping reduce unlit sections near the ends of the cabinet.
The required quantity depends on light box length, width, depth, graphic material, module orientation, target brightness and whether the display is single-sided or double-sided. Send Wallis the cabinet dimensions and frame drawings for a project-based calculation.
Dark areas can be reduced by selecting the correct module quantity, maintaining consistent spacing, aligning the optical lenses correctly, matching the cabinet depth to the optical beam and using suitable graphic and reflective materials.
An appropriate aluminum mounting structure is recommended for high-power modules because it helps dissipate heat and maintain stable LED operating conditions during extended commercial use.
Yes. Connector and wiring preparation can be discussed before production. Pre-prepared terminal connectors can simplify installation and reduce cutting and soldering work at the customer's site.
The current Wallis product information lists CE and RoHS compliance. Buyers requiring specific certification documentation for a market or project should confirm the applicable certificate before ordering.
The currently listed warranty for this Wallis side-lit LED module series is 2 years. Final warranty conditions should be confirmed with the quotation and order specification.
