Description
This is an LED marquee Letter Light in metal - the letter V - priced at $28.99. It runs on 2 AA batteries rather than a cable, so it can stand on a shelf, a mantel or a table anywhere in a room, and it has hanging holes on the back for wall mounting.
Battery power is the point, not a compromise. A mains letter light has to live near a powerpoint and trails a lead across whatever it is standing on, which rules out the styled shelf, the cake table and the middle of a mantelpiece. A battery letter goes exactly where the photograph wants it.

Why Marquee Letters Work at Events
-
No cable - stands anywhere, including on a cake table or a floating shelf
-
Metal, not plastic - it holds its shape and survives being packed and reused
-
Reads in photographs - a lit letter is legible in a dim reception where a printed sign is not
-
Reusable - an initial works for a birthday, then an engagement, then a nursery
-
Wall or shelf - hanging holes on the back mean it works either way
How Do You Spell a Word With Letter Lights?
Buy one light per letter and stand them in a row. Because each is independently battery powered there is no wiring between them and no order they have to be plugged in, so you can space them as widely as you like and rearrange them on the day. For a bar or a mantel, LOVE is four lights; a couple's initials are two. The practical limits are cost and shelf space rather than anything technical. Do check which letters we currently have in stock before planning a word, since availability varies letter by letter.
Are Marquee Letters Bright Enough to Read at Night?
They are decorative rather than illuminating - the LEDs outline and fill the letter so it reads clearly in a dim room, at a dusk reception or in evening photographs, but they will not light the space around them. In bright daylight or a fully lit room the effect largely disappears, which is worth knowing if your event is a midday one. These earn their place at evening events.
Can They Hang on a Wall?
Yes. There are one or two hanging holes on the back, so a picture hook or a nail will take it. Because it is battery powered there is no cable to hide, which is what makes wall mounting look clean. For a rental or a venue that will not allow fixings, adhesive hooks rated above the letter's weight work, or simply rest it on a shelf or mantel - the shape is stable free standing.
Buyers are styling weddings, engagements and hens parties, decorating nurseries and children's rooms with an initial, and dressing bars, cafes and shopfronts.
