Illuminated Display Structures
Illuminated display structures make signage glow — backlit and edge-lit LED light boxes, towers, and frames that draw the eye with even, premium illumination. Built from aluminum T-slot with integrated LED and tension-fabric or printed graphics, they deliver high-impact interior and sheltered signage and reconfigure as your message changes. Modular Solutions engineers each structure for uniform illumination, easy graphic changes, and reliable operation.
What Are Illuminated Display Structures?
An illuminated display structure is a lit signage structure built from aluminum T-slot with integrated LED behind tension-fabric or printed graphics — light boxes, towers, and frames — that presents signage with even, premium illumination.
Modular Solutions engineers each structure for uniform illumination, easy graphic changes, and reliable operation, with LED, power, and graphics integrated into the frame. Because it is modular, the structure reconfigures as your message changes.

Why Choose Modular Aluminum T-Slot Construction
Modular Solutions builds every signage system from aluminum T-slot extrusion rather than welded or single-use construction. The bolted framework is clean and professional without painting, holds printed, fabric, and illuminated graphics directly in the profile, and reconfigures with hand tools — so panels, mounts, and formats adapt as your message and branding change. Freestanding, wall, suspended, and outdoor formats share the same components, and because the structure is modular, signage updates and reconfigures rather than being replaced. Every sign is engineered and built in-house in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about illuminated display structures design, integration, and customization.
What is an illuminated display structure?
It is a lit signage structure built from aluminum T-slot with integrated LED behind tension-fabric or printed graphics — light boxes, towers, and frames — that presents signage with even, premium illumination.
How even is the illumination?
We engineer the LED layout for uniform, shadow-free light across the whole graphic, avoiding hot spots and dark corners.
Can the graphics be changed?
Yes. Silicone-edge fabric and printed graphics install and swap easily, so you can refresh messaging without replacing the structure or lighting.
What formats are available?
We build backlit light boxes, illuminated towers, and lit frames, all on the same framework so they combine and reconfigure.
Is it suitable for outdoors?
Illuminated structures are engineered for interior and sheltered areas; for full-exposure outdoor use we select weatherproof materials and rated components.
Do you build custom illuminated structures?
Yes. Our in-house team designs illuminated displays around your impact, size, and message, engineered and built in Auburn Hills, MI.
