Light-up Marquee Letter Rentals

Four feet of lit letter, spelling whatever the evening is about.

Specifications

Each letter stands on its own.

Every letter carries its own back support, so a four-foot face does not tip when somebody leans in for a photograph. The board is high-bearing foam and the lighting is a battery string with plastic bulbs in warm white — no outlet and nothing taped across a floor.

On the show floor

A name and a year across a trade show wall.

  • Four-foot marquee letters spelling a show name and the year in a row across a trade show hall, every bulb lit warm white against black drape, ferns set between them

What gets spelled

Six things worth four feet of letter.

  • A company name at a launch

    The brand standing at full height behind the people talking about it. Every photograph taken in that half of the room carries the name without anybody being asked to pose with a sign.

  • A milestone year

    Numbers rent the same way letters do, so an anniversary or a founding year is four characters of the same item rather than a different product.

  • A photo wall

    Letters behind a booth give the shot a subject that is not the venue. Warm white reads well on camera because it does not fight the skin tones the way a cold LED does.

  • A room with no power where you want it

    Batteries are the reason these go in the middle of a floor, in a marquee or up a staircase. Nothing else lit on this site can stand somewhere without a cable reaching it.

  • An entrance

    A word at the door tells arriving guests they are in the right place before a single person has to greet them. That is usually two or three characters, not a sentence.

  • A holiday or seasonal party

    Short words carry a room. The count is the thing to settle early: each letter is its own rental, so the word length is the quantity.

What usually stands in front of them

Letters make a background. Something has to point at it.

A lit word is a backdrop that guests will photograph badly on their own phones. A mirror booth in front of it gets the exposure right every time, handles a group without an enclosure to squeeze into and shares the result before anybody leaves.
