What is Lighting Painting

I. What is Lighting Painting?

Lighting painting, pioneered and invented by Guangzhou Night Rainbow Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., is an innovative form of lighting decoration that combines various lighting materials and elements to create diverse thematic visuals. As a key component of artistic lighting displays, it integrates artistic expression and illumination, adding unique charm to spaces. Common materials include LED lighting modules, LED flexible light tubes, injection-molded string lights, strobe lights, flame-retardant lighting mesh, and spray-painted elements. These materials feature flame-retardant and fire-resistant properties (self-extinguishing upon flame removal), excellent insulation, and reduced outdoor fire risks. Lighting paintings are safe, easy to install, flexible for transportation, and adaptable for hanging. 

II. Material Composition of Lighting Painting​​

(1) LED Big Eyes:​​

Low-voltage design: 24V DC voltage, fully waterproof structure, highly adaptable.

Bright and vibrant colors: capable of monochromatic or rainbow-changing effects.

Ultra-low energy consumption: 5-10W power consumption per square meter; total energy consumption for a 300㎡ lighting painting is only 1.2KW-2.5KW.

High durability: lifespan ranges from 5,000 to 50,000 hours.

(2) LED Rainbow Tube Lights:​​

Excellent shock resistance, tensile strength, and compression resistance.

Outstanding flexibility.

High-brightness design: uniform and translucent light with exceptional "halo effect."

Superior light continuity: produces consistent and seamless linear illumination.

Uniform light direction: resolves directional issues of LED tube lights in lighting painting applications.

(3) Flame-Retardant Lighting Mesh:​​

High-strength design with exceptional weather resistance.

Large mesh structure: low wind resistance and superior windproof performance.

Flame-retardant properties: meets V0 standard for plastic fire safety (self-extinguishing upon flame removal).

Balances flexibility and strength: rollable for storage; unfurls without distorting patterns formed by LED lights or spray painting.

Lightweight: easy installation, foldable for compact transport and storage.

(4) Auxiliary Materials:​​

Converters, power supplies, cables, cable ties, steel cables, and other supporting equipment.

​​III. Techniques of Lighting Painting​​

(1) Mesh-Mounted Lighting Painting:​​

Rapid production, relatively quick construction, low cost, simple installation, and minimal constraints by site conditions, enabling diverse visual expressions. However, during daytime, its surface flatness is slightly inadequate; additionally, mesh lines and cables are visible on the front side.

(2) Adhesive-Backed Lighting Painting:​​

Rapid material preparation process; materials tightly adhere to building facades with reliable durability. Exceptional visual presentation under daylight conditions. However, on-site construction efficiency is relatively low; additionally, its exposed wiring is visible upon close inspection. Installation is site-restricted, primarily suitable for surfaces like glass, aluminum composite panels, and polished stone materials.

(3) Panel-Based Lighting Painting:​​

Excellent surface flatness with distinct 3D visual effects; concealed wiring design ensures a clean overall appearance. Lightweight materials guarantee high safety. However, production speed is relatively slow (daily production capacity: 50-100); manual installation efficiency is also low. Additionally, the products cost is relatively high.

​​IV. Application Fields of Lighting Painting​​

Lighting painting has been widely applied across multiple domains: urban image displays, nightscape lighting and decorative night views, festive-themed decorations for shopping malls, public square beautification, commercial exterior wall adornments, signage/logo/indicator lighting systems, residential lighting and building facade illumination projects, theme park decorations, distinctive street landscape designs, lighting for historical sites and cultural heritage, wedding ceremony decorations, etc. Regardless of the theme in commercial lighting projects, lighting painting delivers outstanding visual effects and enhances spaces with unique charm.
