Countertop Backlighting Process

This video, which was produced by Tylerco Inc. (makers of the SLABlite backlighting panel system), takes the form of a slideshow that depicts the process of backlighting a countertop on a yacht. The video starts out showing the bar with a subtop and then walks the viewer through each step in laying the 12- by 12- by 0.375-in. lighting panels and cutting them to shape on-site, including the small area around a sink edge. It then shows an onyx countertop, which has obviously been fabricated in a shop and brought to the location, put down over the lighting panels. It also gives a look at how the system is powered, before showing the completed top all lit up, adding a sophisticated ambience.

A great article on the subject of backlighting translucent materials recently appeared in ISFA’s Countertops & Architectural Surfaces magazine, and more information about the SLABlite backlighting system is available here.
