We built 4 custom aluminum and plexi lightboxes for The Dead South. Each lightbox breaks down into 3 pieces for easy touring and quick assembly. The addition of an internal wall allows LED programming in distinct areas of the design. The 4 custom oversized lanterns are designed with LED controls for dimming. Our painters aged them scenically.
