The LED back bar display in two lines
A tiered structure lit by LED, one metre long, with four levels and a weight of 10 kilos. It is there to show the bottles by putting them in front of the light, which is how the glass and the spirit inside are seen best.
Who it is for
For anyone with a spirits list who wants it seen. In a bar the wall of bottles is the first thing a guest looks at on the way in, and in most venues it is lit badly or not at all: an LED lit shelf changes how the same selection reads, without adding a single bottle.
Why light from behind works
A spirit in a bottle is seen through, not off. Light it from the front and you get a reflection on the glass that hides the contents; light it from behind and the light goes through the liquid and shows its colour, which on an aged rum or an amaro is exactly what you want seen. It is the same principle as the window of a spirits shop, and it is why a lit structure does far more than a spotlight aimed at a wall.

Take the LED back bar display if
If you have a selection to show and the back bar is dark. If you want to change the mood through the evening, the sixteen colour version in the same category lets you set the tone instead of holding one fixed light.
Four tiers and reading the list
The stepped layout is there to keep every label visible, where on a flat shelf the bottles at the front would cover the ones behind. Four levels across a metre let you organise the selection by category, with the spirits that sell most within reach on the low tier and the display pieces up top. It also helps the service: the bartender finds the bottle without looking for it.
Ten kilos, and where it stands
It is a weight to consider before buying, because the structure has to stand on something solid rather than on any old shelf. Empty it weighs ten kilos; loaded with bottles, across a metre and four full tiers, thirty or forty is easy. The surface and the power supply want planning together, because moving a loaded display is not a mid service job.
Care
Dust and sugar residue are the two enemies of a back bar shelf: a regular wipe stops the bottles sticking to the surface. Keep harsh detergents and direct water off the lit section, and keep the electrical connection away from the wash area.
Before and after, on the same wall
This is the change that does most to how a bar reads for the same stock. The same wall of bottles, dark or lit from behind, looks like two different venues: in the first it is a stock room on show, in the second it is the spirits list. For a modest outlay it is probably the quickest return of any piece of back bar equipment.

Why light from behind? Because it goes through the liquid and shows its colour, instead of reflecting off the glass.
Can it be wall mounted? It stands on a solid surface: ten kilos empty, far more loaded.
