Project Overview
Wheeler Display produced an A1 XL horizontal LED lightbox to support the promotion of the Frank Gehry edition associated with the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi exhibition.
The requirement was a clean, high-contrast illuminated display suitable for gallery and exhibition environments. The format needed to maintain architectural visual integrity while ensuring consistent illumination across detailed imagery and fine typography.
The A1 XL horizontal configuration was selected to accommodate landscape-oriented exhibition visuals, including architectural renderings and artwork references. The display was specified for wall-mounted installation within an interior cultural setting, where uniform brightness, material refinement, and controlled glare were critical.
Manufactured in-house, the system integrates edge-lit LED technology with glass and aluminium construction. The illuminated graphic was printed on high-resolution backlit film to preserve tonal accuracy and structural detail within the architectural imagery.
This installation reinforces Wheeler Display’s capability to supply exhibition-grade illuminated signage for cultural institutions and gallery environments across Europe.

Why This Setup Worked
The A1 XL horizontal format aligned with the exhibition’s landscape-oriented visual assets and architectural imagery.
This configuration provided:
-
Even illumination across detailed architectural renderings
-
Controlled brightness suitable for gallery environments
-
Clear typography reproduction without hotspotting
-
A refined frame profile consistent with cultural spaces
-
Permanent, stable wall-mounted presentation
The system delivered visual clarity without competing with surrounding architecture or exhibition elements.
Production & Finish
The display was produced entirely in-house at Wheeler Display Studio.
Technical specification included:
-
Edge-lit LED panel for uniform light distribution
-
Slim-profile aluminium housing
-
Optical-grade diffuser layer
-
High-resolution backlit film printing
-
Colour-controlled output for architectural image fidelity
-
Graphic trimming and fitting completed prior to dispatch
Each unit undergoes individual illumination and alignment checks before packaging. European shipping was coordinated using protected transit packaging to maintain structural integrity.
Outcome
The installed A1 XL horizontal LED lightbox provides a structured, gallery-appropriate illuminated display for the Frank Gehry edition promotion.
The format ensures architectural renderings retain tonal depth and detail while maintaining readability across exhibition typography. Illumination remains consistent across the entire surface area, supporting extended daily operating hours typical within museum and cultural venues.
By combining precision LED technology with controlled production processes, the display supports institutional-level presentation standards. The result is a clean, professional illuminated solution that aligns with museum-grade expectations while reinforcing exhibition messaging.
This project further demonstrates Wheeler Display’s capability to supply structured, exhibition-focused LED lightboxes for cultural and institutional environments across Europe.
