Sign Customiser now lets you offer a backlit glow on cut-out metal sign customisers. Add a backlight option and your customers can switch the lighting on, pick a colour, and watch the preview update live — light blooming around the panel edge and through the inside of every cut-out shape, just like a real LED-backlit sign lit up against a wall.

The same glow follows any design. Whether your customer types their own text or uploads a logo through the AI Sign Designer, the shape is cut from the panel and lit around every edge.

## What’s Changed

- **New backlight option** - Add a backlight selection to any cut-out metal customiser so customers can choose to light their sign up.
- **A range of glow colours** - Offer warm white, amber and other single colours, or multi-colour RGB and Flow effects — each with its own optional price adjustment.
- **Works for text and logos** - Customer-typed text and AI Sign Designer logos are both cut from the panel, with the glow tracing every edge of the design.
- **True-to-life glow preview** - The light blooms softly out from the panel edge and the inside edge of every cut-out shape, with see-through centres, instead of a hard painted outline.
- **Carried right through to the order** - The selected backlight and its price flow into the live quote, the product image, the cart and the manufacturer’s order details.
