Not always. Plinths and inflatable counters can run their lighting from a rechargeable battery. The plinth battery suits overnight recharging at multi-day shows. Mains-powered lighting is available for permanent displays.

Illuminated displays and signage
Backlit displays have a presence that regular styles don't, especially under the flat lighting of a hall or a mall atrium. Light adds depth and polish without changing anything else about the stand.
Three lit products sit on this page. Plinths with lighting put a single product on a lit base. The Exhibition Brandframe holds a printed graphic in a frame. Inflatable counters give staff somewhere to stand behind that stays visible across a room.
Why choose these illuminated displays?
Battery or mains power
Plinth and inflatable counter lighting can run from a rechargeable battery, so no lead crosses the walkway.
Colour by remote
Plinth LEDs come with a click-wheel remote to hold one colour, flash, fade or change colour.
Washable, swappable graphics
Brandframe and counter graphics are washable fabric skins that can be replaced when the artwork changes.
A lit counter in one bag
Each inflatable counter packs into one zip-up carry bag, with its graphic still attached.
Choosing the right illuminated display
Each product uses light in a different way: up through the top or out through the sides of a plinth, through a fabric graphic stretched over a frame, or from inside an inflatable counter.
The range
- Illuminated counters Inflatable counters with LEDs inside, shining through a lightbox fabric graphic
- Exhibition Brandframe A modular aluminium frame with a one-piece fabric graphic; the Brandframe Glow version is lit from inside
- Plinths with lighting Plinths with built-in LEDs, most often in 6mm frosted acrylic so light passes through every surface
Power on site
Power is usually the deciding factor. Where a site has no power point within reach, or the display moves through the day, the plinths and inflatable counters can run their lighting from a rechargeable battery, so nothing has to run off a lead across a walkway. For a permanent display, ask for mains-powered lighting instead.
Sizes
Inflatable counters are 1m high, in round (600mm), square (600 x 600mm) or rectangular (1000 x 600mm) shapes. Standard Brandframe walls are 2.4, 3 or 6m wide and 2.35m high, and can be made to other sizes. A standard lit plinth is 400mm square and 900mm high, with widths from 300 to 600mm and heights from 300 to 1200mm.
Artwork for backlit graphics
Artwork behaves differently when light shines through it, so it pays to work with a designer who knows backlit print. Our design studio can prepare or adjust your files.

Frequently asked questions
Do illuminated displays need a power point?
Can the light colour be changed?
Yes, on the plinths. Their LED modules can come with a click-wheel remote for a static colour, flashing, fading or changing colours. Brandframe walls can be upgraded to programmable LEDs, reprogrammed with each new graphic.
What comes with an inflatable counter?
The counter, your choice of top colour (white, black or beech wood grain), a printed lightbox fabric graphic, mains-powered LED lighting with transformer, a mains-powered air pump and a carry bag. A battery pump or hand pump can be chosen instead.
How heavy are the inflatable counters?
In the bag, the round counter weighs 12.5kg, the square 12kg and the rectangular counter 28kg. The mains pump adds 1.5kg.
Inflatable counters can be ordered online. Brandframe walls and plinths with lighting are quoted individually, because pricing depends on your requirements. Use the enquiry form for a quote.
