The holiday season has officially arrived, and so has our 12 Days of D-Lightmas celebration! Twelve days of exclusive offers, giftable creations, and a few surprises we can’t wait to reveal. Each day brings something new…Like handmade LED keepsakes & one-of-a-kind engraved pieces crafted right here in our studio.
Today’s spotlight shines on one of our most beloved items: Custom LED Pet Portraits. If you’re shopping for your own home or searching for a heartfelt gift for someone who loves their furry family member, these portraits have a way of stealing the show. They glow, they sparkle, and they capture personality in a way traditional prints just can’t match.
And to make things even brighter, subscribers are enjoying 28% off all Custom Pet Portrait designs during D-Lightmas.
Now let’s walk through the process so you can create one of your own.
Step 1: Choose Your Style
When you visit DLightedLED.com, you’ll see several portrait styles to pick from:
• Standard LED Stand Portraits – sleek, modern, and perfect for desks, shelves, and end tables.
• Framed LED Portraits – a more classic display with a warm, finished look.
• Mini LED Portraits – small in size, big in charm, ideal for gifts or keepsakes.
Each style is fully customizable, so choose the one that fits your space or the personality of the person you're gifting it to.
Step 2: Select Your Photo
A great portrait starts with a great photo. Clear, high-resolution images with good lighting work best. Close-ups bring out details: whiskers, expressions, fur textures. While full-body shots can show off personality and posture.
Upload your favorite picture directly on the product page. If you’re unsure which photo will engrave best, feel free to upload multiple options and leave a note. Our artist will choose the strongest one for engraving.
Step 3: Decide Between Laser Engraving and Hand Engraving
Here’s where our process truly stands apart.
Most LED portraits are created with high-precision laser engraving, which produces beautiful clarity and crisp detail. But we also offer something extra special: professional hand engraving for select designs, completed with a dremel by a skilled artisan.
Hand engraving gives the glass a deeper texture and dimensional feel. When the LEDs light up, that texture catches the glow in a way that looks almost sculpted. As if your pet has been etched in light itself. It’s a technique that takes more time, care, and craftsmanship, and the result is a portrait with remarkable warmth and character.
If your chosen design supports hand engraving, you’ll see that option noted on the product page.
Step 4: Add Custom Details
Want your pet’s name? A date? A short phrase that carries meaning?
Just add those notes during checkout. We tailor each piece to match your vision! Whether you want the engraving clean and minimalist or sentimental and personal.
Step 5: Approve Your Preview
Before engraving begins, you’ll receive a digital mockup of your artwork.
This gives you a chance to confirm the design, request small adjustments, or double-check that everything looks the way you imagined. Once approved, engraving begins and your custom piece moves into production.
Step 6: Watch the Magic Happen
After engraving (whether laser-etched or hand-carved), your portrait is cleaned, polished, assembled onto its LED base or frame, tested for brightness and clarity, and carefully packaged.
Each piece is handmade, unique, and ready to illuminate any room with a memory that deserves to shine.
Step 7: Enjoy the Glow
When your portrait arrives, simply plug it in, tap the button, and watch your pet appear in brilliant, sculpted light. It’s the kind of gift that earns gasps, hugs, and that long silent moment where someone just stares because they weren’t expecting something this special.
As the 12 Days of D-Lightmas continues, we have even more gifts, deals, and surprises lined up. If you’re shopping for someone who deserves something meaningful, or you want to treat yourself to a piece that feels a little magical, our custom LED portraits are a perfect place to start.
There’s plenty more to come! So keep an eye on your inbox, and check back. The lights of D-Lightmas are just getting warmed up.
