Plexiglass:  The generally accepted material for poster protection. Variations in quality can result in its susceptibility to scratching and coloring as well as  produce viewing "waves" if not milled thick enough. 

Styrene: A lower grade plastic, this is the most common option with cheaper lightboxes. Most have no UV filtering which is the most important aspect in preserving your poster. They are also generally cut very thin producing viewing distortions.   Some websites even warn they cannot guarantee your panel from imperfections or waves, unless you upgrade. Upgrade? 

U.V. filtered Plexiglass : Offers U.V. protection from ambient sunlight that can fade your poster.  Even indoor lighting such as fluorescent can produce U.V. that will over time fade your poster.  It's also important that the piece of plexiglass is thick enough so as to not produce viewing distortions. All CINETECH models use an appropriately milled piece of U.V. filtered  plexiglass to provide optimum viewing and poster protection.

Electrical:   When buying a lightbox make sure that it has a grounded 3 prong     electrical cord as well as a switch to turn it off and on. Many lightbox makers expect   you  to pull out  the power cord to power it on and off.  We know...we can't believe it either.  All CINETECH models come with a power switch and grounded plug.  Special wiring needs? No problem.

Corners:   A lightbox is exactly that....a box with 4 corners. While it may not be a concern if everyone in the theater is over 3ft tall, many of today's theaters are located in the family home. The average lightbox hangs approximately 27" above the floor...leaving it's bottom corners at eye level of an average child. These mitered corners are common with almost  all lightboxes in production....but not all of them. All CINETECH models come with stylish (and child safe) rounded corners in a complimentary chrome or gloss finish.

The internet is flooded with companies willing to sell you a poster lightbox.....and popcorn makers, glow in the dark carpet, recliners, and just about everything else under the sun you could put in a theater. But do they all manufacture these items?  No, they are simply resellers for other companies.  There is an extra gap in there between you, your questions and needs, and the manufacturer.  What does this mean?  Usually higher prices and delays in shipping.  We at Hollywood Marquees are dedicated in what we do. We design, build, and install the most innovative & high quality theater/commercial signage available.  The Cinetech line is the culmination of over a year of product development and testing.  We do not have resellers as we already sell our lightboxes at wholesale prices.  We set out to build the best and most affordable poster lightbox available today to the general public....and we think we have.
