Spooky-Friendly Lithophane Ghost Wall Display / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Bring a soft, magical Halloween glow to your wall with this wall-mounted Spooky-Friendly Lithophane Ghost Display! Evolving from the original wall accent silhouette, this version features a Lithophane Dual-Glow Face with an ultra-thin 0.0314″ (0.8mm) shell. When illuminated, bright light beams directly through the eye, mouth, and arm cutouts while casting a gentle, translucent glow across the entire body of the ghost!

To give you complete flexibility for mounting and custom lighting setups:

• Flush Keyhole Wall Mounting: The required backplate features built-in keyhole slots designed specifically for #3 screws, allowing the entire piece to mount completely flush against your wall. Note: The backplate (or a custom Plexiglas plate) is required for hanging.

• Plexiglas Halo Backlighting Option: For an ultra-clean halo lighting effect against your wall, swap the printable backplate for a matching piece of Plexiglas cut to the same shape and screwed onto the back using the pre-modeled mounting holes!

Originally conceptualized as a custom woodworking design, this model has been fully adapted for 3D printing with precise mounting tolerances, clean wire routing, and versatile lighting options. Print it as a standalone tabletop decor piece or use it as a physical template guide for scroll saw or router woodworking!

• Flush Keyhole Wall Mounting: The required rear plate includes built-in keyhole slots for #3 screws or small finish nails to ensure a completely flush wall fit.

• Perimeter LED Cavity & Light Shield: Built with a hollowed-out rear cavity to easily route and conceal LED strip lights. The backplate directs light forward while shielding internal wiring.

• Plexiglas Halo Backplate Option: Can be paired with a custom-cut Plexiglas backplate to scatter a smooth halo glow onto the surrounding wall.
