Welcome to PixiLight.com, makers of personalized lithophane nightlights. Pixilight nightlights incorporate a remarkable new digital embossing process, which generates lithophane plates from your own personal photographs.
Lithophanes are thin translucent plates that generate images when lit from behind. Images are formed when light shinning through sections of various material thicknesses, yield bright and dark regions. Thin portions shine brightly and thick portions shine dim. The relationship of brightness to material thickness is maintained throughout the entire plate for each image pixel and will render a remarkable photorealistic image.
