LED Illuminated Light Pockets - Assembly Instructions

Cable suspended - Floor to ceiling / Recess top & bottom

Assembling our LED light pocket display kits is easier than most people think. Typically used for displaying certificates, leaflets, and brochures. Commonly used by estate agents, travel agents, beauty salons, and many other types of businesses. Manufacture in-house by GTM Plastics.

The following video demonstrates the entire process from start to finish. It starts by showing you how to attach the cable kits from top to bottom, followed by attaching the panel clamps to the acrylic light pockets and suspending them between the cables, and then how to connect the power supply (AKA LED driver).

How to assemble suspended LED light pockets (3 Easy steps)

Assembly installation guide (screenshots from the video)

Tape measuring the hole centres for the top fixings of a cable-suspended LED light-pocket display kit.

Carefully mark out the hole positions to the distance stated in the instructions, making sure that you double check your measurements before proceeding to drill the holes.

Drill the holes, starting with a pilot drill bit (4 to 5mm will do), and then drill to the finished diameter by using a 7mm drill bit.

Gently hammering a plastic fixing plug into a drilled hole.

Insert each plastic plug into its hole and use a hammer to gently tap them in until they're flush with the surface. Note that if you're screwing into a wooden surface, you don't need to use the plastic plugs.

Unscrew the inner fixing from its outer body for the ceiling/window recess (top) end of the cable kit.

Carefully mark out the hole positions to the distance stated in the instructions provided, making sure to double check the measurements before proceeding to drill the holes.

Drill the holes just like before, starting with a pilot drill bit (4 to 5mm will do), and then drill to the finished diameter by using a 7mm drill bit.

Attaching the cable kit's bottom inner fixing to the window recess.

Using side cutters to cut the cable wire flush with the top edge of the bottom inner fixing.
Cutting the cable to length flush with the bottom fixing

Gently hammer in the plastic plugs and then screw the inner fixings to the floor/window recess bottom, just like you did for the ceiling/window recess top.

Cut the cable to length by cutting it flush with the top edge of the bottom fixing, i.e. 15mm above the floor/window recess bottom.

Using an Allen key to lock the adjustable sliding nipple in position approximately 5mm from the end of the cable.

Screwing the bottom inner fixing's outer body onto its inner fixing, thereby compressing the spring.
Compressing the spring by screwing on the outer body

Lock the adjustable sliding nipple in position approximately 5mm from the end of the cable. Note that all Allen keys are provided with the display.

Screw the bottom inner fixing's outer body onto its inner fixing. This causes the spring to become compressed, thereby making the cable taut.

Using an Allen key to attach four panel clamps to a light pocket, one at each corner.

Placing a light pocket between the two cables, and tightening the clamp's screws to secure the pocket in position.
Suspending the light pocket between the cables

Attach all four panel clamps to the light pocket. To make it easy to position each clamp at the same distance along the edges, there's a small, machined recess close to each corner.

Remove the screws from the clamp slots to allow the cables to slide into the slots. Then place the pocket in position and reinsert the screws and tighten gently. Note that the bevelled edge should be facing inside the room/shop.

Tape measuring both light pockets in their final position to make sure they're aligned squarely.

After you've finished positioning the pockets to your preferred height, loosen the grub screws just enough to allow the pockets to slide up and down the cables when gently pushed. You can then either use a tape measure to square them up, or simply eye them up to your satisfaction, and then retighten the screws gently.

To insert your poster into the light pocket, simply use your fingers to flex the face panel away from the centre body. Our double-sided (default purchase option) units have a compartment on each side, which allows you to advertise both facing the street and inside your shop/business.

Separating the power supply wires, which are then attached to the bottom of the suspending cables.

Connecting the power supply wires to the cables

Separate/split the power supply wires by gently pulling them apart. Connect the positive wire (red dot on the connector) to the cable on the right when looking out of the window (bevelled edge is facing inside the shop). Connect the negative wire to the left cable.

You have now finished assembling your display. Simply plug it in to illuminate your posters.
