Night Lights
Our night lights have two main parts:
- A box with a slotted lid (Stage)
- Engraved acrylic designs (Lenses)
Night Light Diagram
The stage is comprised of a base and a lid:
- The wooden base is a box that holds an LED light inside.
- The lid holds engraved designs (acrylic lenses) on top and has two layers:
- Slotted wooden topper
- Clear acrylic platform
- The lid topper and platform are held together with binding screws (that we refer to as lid connectors).
The Stage
We engrave designs into clear acrylic and then cut out the engraved designs. We refer to the cutout designs as acrylic “lenses.”

Acrylic Lenses
Designs are engraved into clear acrylic sheets (also known as Plexiglass). The design is then cut out to create what we call a lens.
A lens slides into a slot on top of the stage. From within the stage, an LED light shines upward through the slots, highlighting the engraved designs on the lenses – this effect creates a beautiful illumination in the form of a night light.
