🛠️ Key Installation Notes:

• Panels must be installed edge-to-edge with no gaps for smooth, even lighting.
• No extra space is needed between panels and stone. Built-in spacers allow direct placement.

❓ Why Are These Panels & Backlighting The Stone More Expensive Than Other LED Panels or Even Some Stone Slabs?

We’re often asked why our LED panels come at a higher price compared to generic lighting products or even some natural stone slabs. Here’s why:

• ✅ Built to Last Up to 20 Years – Unlike cheap alternatives, these panels are made for long-term performance without fading, yellowing, or early failure.
• ✅ Engineered for Reliability – With a near-zero failure rate, they eliminate the risk of flickering, burnout, or uneven lighting.
• ✅ High-Powered Performance – Each panel delivers 50W of output, strong enough to illuminate even dense or darker natural stones.
• ✅ RGBWW Technology – Full-spectrum lighting with warm white, cool white, and all colours, controlled easily via remote or mobile app.
• ✅ Specifically Designed for Stone Applications – Reinforced to carry the weight of heavy stone slabs, include integrated spacers, and are ultra-thin for seamless installation.
• ✅ Supports Up to 2 Tonnes – No diffusion sheet or extra layer required, your stone can be placed directly on top of the panel.
• ✅ Flexible, Trim-to-Fit Design – Cut, reshape, or curve to suit your layout without soldering or ordering custom shapes.

These LED panels aren’t just a light source – they’re a purpose-built architectural lighting solution that enhances the luxury and clarity of your stone. They’re an essential upgrade when creating premium backlit features.

🔆 Frequently Asked Questions – Stone Backlighting (LED Panels)

1. What is the required distance between LED panels? Panels must be installed flush with no gaps. Gaps cause shadows or uneven lighting.
2. How much space should I leave between the stone and the panels? None. The stone rests directly on the panel thanks to built-in spacers.
3. What’s the distance between the spacers and would that provide enough support for the stone? Distance including spacers is 9 mm. When you lay the stone on the panels directly, they can carry up to 2 tons of weight and fully support the stone.
4. Do I need anything else besides the panels? Yes. You'll also need Power Supply Units, RGB Controller (to control colours & brightness), and Amplifiers (for larger setups). 👉 View the full accessories collection here: https://bambystone.com.au/product-category/parts/
5. Does Bamby Stone offer installation? Yes, within Queensland and other states (with additional travel/accommodation costs). You're also welcome to use your own electrician.
6. How much is installation? $24.00 + GST per panel, including power supply setup, controller connection, and full wiring.
7. Can you help calculate what I need? Absolutely! Send us your layout or drawings and we’ll give you a custom quote.
8. Do I need to prepare anything before installation? Yes. The base must be completely flat and structurally ready. 👉 This is the responsibility of your builder or cabinetmaker. Bamby Stone does not supply or install structural bases.
9. Would light fittings be accessible for maintenance if sandwiched between stone or substrate? If installed on a vertical surface, yes – you can access them by installing on a flat surface where you can slide the panel in and out. If installed on a horizontal surface, since the stone sits directly on the panels, you would first need to remove the stone to access the panels.
10. Can Bamby Stone remove splashbacks or cabinetry? No. We do not offer removal services. All demolition must be completed before we arrive.
