Shadowcast Panel | Lit Oak and Your Name

$279

A cut-steel panel that stands in the bed in front of your house. At dusk a small light in front of it throws the oak tree and your name across the wall, about three times bigger than the panel.

The edges on the wall are soft, like a shadow from a tree. It reads from the street after dark. In daylight it is a black steel sign in the bed.

What's included

  • The cut steel panel in a welded flat-bar frame, on two square steel stakes.
  • A 12V LED mini spot, warm white, in a cut-steel hood on its own short stake.
  • 25 ft of low-voltage cable and a plug-in 12V outdoor transformer with a dusk sensor. It turns on at dusk and off at dawn. It plugs into an outdoor outlet, so you do not need a landscape lighting system.

Specs

  • 18 x 24 in panel: the scene lands about 6 ft wide and 4.5 ft tall on the wall. Up to 12 characters, about 4 in tall on the panel.
  • 24 x 36 in panel: the scene lands about 7 ft wide with the panel 2 ft from the wall, or about 9 ft wide at 3 ft. Up to 14 characters, about 5.5 in tall on the panel.
  • The oak tree is cut above your name. Letters with closed loops, like O, A, R and B, keep small steel bridges so their centers stay in the panel. The name reads the right way on the panel and on the wall.
  • 14 gauge steel, black powder coat.
  • Stakes go 24 in into the ground. In loose soil or deep mulch, set them in concrete.
  • Steel panel built in our Tennessee shop. The LED light and transformer are bought in.

Where it goes

  • A flat, light-colored wall works best: painted brick, siding or stucco.
  • Stand the panel 2 to 3 ft out from the wall, square to it. Closer to the wall makes the scene smaller and sharper.
  • Put the light stake 18 in in front of the panel, on the street side, aimed up through the middle of the panel. The light faces the house, not the road.
  • Keep the scene below the eave. On a one-story wall, set the 24 x 36 at 2 ft out.

Made to order. Cut after you order. Check your HOA rules before you order.

Care

  • Hose it off. Keep leaves and mulch off the light's glass.


Up to 12 characters on the 18 x 24, up to 14 on the 24 x 36. Cut into the steel before it ships.
