octanorm octalumina light frames.
A light frame catches the eye before a visitor reaches the stand. octalumina are high-quality LED frames that show the brand message brightly, clearly and with maximum impact. Seamless fabric graphics, long-lasting LEDs and easy assembly make them the single strongest lever for visibility.
what light frames are
A light frame is an aluminium frame with LED lighting over which a fabric graphic is stretched. Instead of lighting the image from outside, the surface itself glows: the graphic is evenly lit from within and acts as a luminous face. That is why octalumina catches the eye even from the far side of a hall, where an ordinary printed wall stays unnoticed.
octalumina is not a single product but a line of high-quality LED light frames that show the brand message brightly, clearly and with maximum impact. The seamless fabric graphic is stretched with no visible edges, the LEDs are long-lasting and assembly is easy. The system is modularly compatible with other octanorm systems, so a light frame is not a separate element but part of the wider stand design.
Use spans from exhibitions and events to retail spaces and interiors, anywhere a brand presentation must stand out. At point of sale a light frame directs the eye to the offering, at a fair it makes the brand visible from a distance. Because the graphic stretches over the frame and is simply swapped, you refresh the look when the campaign changes, with no work on the structure.

graphics and light
The power of a light frame is in the combination of graphic and light. Seamless fabric stretches over the frame and LEDs light it, so the image is evenly lit across the whole face, with no dark corners or bright patches. The result is a clean, intense luminous surface that works like a modern screen, but with no moving content and no high consumption.
You swap the graphic quickly. The fabric comes off and is replaced with a new one when the campaign or offering changes, while the frame and LED lighting stay. That means the investment is not tied to a single image: the same structure carries different graphics across several shows, which lowers the cost per event.
Light is also a tool for guiding the eye. Place a light frame where the visitor should look first: above the entrance, beside the offering or as a tall element above the crowd. Because it glows evenly and from a distance, it makes the brand visible without dazzling or creating hot spots, which is the difference from a spotlight aimed at a printed face.

the 40, 80 and 120 variants
octalumina covers a range of surfaces with three basic depths. octalumina 40 at 40 mm depth is the compact system for smaller areas and mobile appearances: slim, easy to transport and quick to assemble, suited to point of sale, retail and smaller stands. It is backlit.
octalumina 80 at 80 mm depth is the all-rounder, universally usable for exhibitions, events and shops, with lateral feed-in lighting and a good balance between stability and design. octalumina 120 at 120 mm depth is the powerful system for large surfaces, with single or double-sided lighting, integrated plug & play power technology and a toolless assembly option. From it you build entire rooms or illuminated landscapes.
- octalumina 40: 40 mm depth, compact, backlit, for point of sale and smaller stands.
- octalumina 80: 80 mm depth, lateral feed-in light, universal for exhibitions, events and shops.
- octalumina 120: 120 mm depth, single or double-sided lighting, plug & play, toolless assembly.

the kubus and plus variants
Besides flat frames the line offers two special variants for spatial effects. octalumina kubus at 47 mm depth allows cube or circular light shapes, suited to ceiling suspensions, illuminated ceilings and high-impact presentations. Instead of a flat wall you get a luminous body that floats above the stand and makes it visible from afar.
octalumina plus at 120 mm depth allows the creation of complex spaces and three-dimensional effects with additional fabric layers. Instead of one plane of graphics you get depth: several fabric layers create a spatial image, suited to particularly creative and eye-catching brand presentations. Both variants stay part of the same line and connect compatibly with flat frames.
- octalumina kubus: 47 mm depth, cube or circular shapes, for ceiling suspensions and illuminated ceilings.
- octalumina plus: 120 mm depth, additional fabric layers for spatial and 3D effects.
plug & play setup
A light frame is designed for fast setup. The LEDs and power are integrated, on the 120 variant via plug & play technology, so you assemble and connect the frame with no complex cabling. The 120 variant is also available in a toolless version, which shortens setup further.
Fast setup means a lower assembly cost and less risk of delay in the hall. Because the graphic stretches over the frame, swapping the look is a matter of minutes, not work for a fitter. That matters for repeat appearances, where the same structure carries different campaigns through the season.
Easy assembly aligns with compatibility. The light frame connects to walls, profiles and a double deck via the octanorm system groove, so you fit it into a larger stand design without needing a separate system. Light then becomes part of the structure, not an add-on to it.
how to proceed
The fastest route to a proposal is to share where the light should work: as a graphics wall, a tall element above the stand, an illuminated ceiling or a prominent spot on the retail surface. From that we suggest the right octalumina depth and shape to match your space and budget.
Light frames are the single strongest lever for visibility, but work best as part of a whole. Complete them with walls and profiles for structure and with lighting for true product colours. Because they are all part of one system, you add them step by step. You can also see the systems live in the showroom.
frequently asked questions
The graphic is seamless fabric stretched over an aluminium frame that LEDs light from within. The surface glows evenly across the whole face, with no dark corners or bright patches, so it works like a clean luminous surface, visible even from the far side of a hall.
Yes. The fabric comes off and is replaced with a new one when the campaign or offering changes, while the frame and LED lighting stay. The swap takes minutes, so the same structure carries different graphics across several shows and lowers the cost per event.
For smaller areas and mobile appearances octalumina 40 is enough, for universal use at fairs and in shops octalumina 80, for large surfaces with double-sided lighting octalumina 120. For ceiling suspensions and illuminated ceilings there is kubus, and for 3D effects plus with additional fabric layers.
Fast. The LEDs and power are integrated, on the 120 variant via plug & play technology, so you assemble and connect the frame with no complex cabling. The 120 variant is also available in a toolless version, which shortens setup further.
