What I changed (simple explanation)

I fixed punctuation, spacing, and wording to make the description clearer and consistent. Examples of small fixes:

• Changed "49 m2 (7*7 m)" to "49 m² (7 × 7 m)" for standard spacing and symbols.
• Made list items consistent (each item starts with a short noun phrase: "Floor: fitted carpet").
• Corrected "2-3 cm thick Plexiglas logo" note: I added a suggestion to confirm thickness because 2–3 mm vs 2–3 cm matters for lighting.
• Standardised dimensions format (width × height in mm) and used en-dash style ranges (e.g., 2–3 cm).

Helpful suggestions and notes (step-by-step)

1. Wall material options
   • Chipboard (OSB or particle board): cheaper, strong for mounting shelves and fixtures, but edges may look rough and it needs finishing (paint or veneer).
   • Drywall (plasterboard): smoother finish for painting and graphics, easier to get a clean look; slightly more costly and needs a framed structure behind for mounting heavy items.
   • Alternative: plywood (strong and smooth) or MDF (smooth and paintable). Plywood is better if you need to screw shelving supports into it repeatedly.
2. Shelf lighting — budget-friendly, effective options

   Choose based on electricity access, look, and budget:

   • LED strip lights (12 V) with diffuser — continuous, even light across the shelf. Low cost. Approximate price: US$8–25 per meter for basic strips; add US$10–40 for a driver/power supply and US$10–30 for an aluminum channel/diffuser per meter. Installation: stick-on strip inside the shelf frame, connect to a nearby driver.
   • Puck lights (LED) — small round lights that give bright spots. Cheap and easy to install. Approximate price: US$5–25 per puck; wired or battery versions available. Use 2–3 per shelf for accent lighting.
   • Battery-powered LED strip or puck — no wiring required; good for rental stands or where power is limited. Cheaper but needs battery replacement or recharge. Approximate price: US$10–40 each.
   • Pre-lit shelf systems — slightly higher cost but very neat: integrated LED modules with professional connectors. Approximate price: US$30–80 per meter installed (varies by supplier).

   Recommendation: For a price-friendly and neat look use 12 V LED strip with aluminum channel and diffuser (sticker strips are cheap and even-looking). Use a single central driver to feed all shelf strips if power distance allows.

3. Reception counter lighting and logo
   • Edge-lit acrylic logo (commonly 8–15 mm thick clear acrylic) looks good when lit from the edge with LED strip. Check the required thickness with your fabricator: 2–3 cm (20–30 mm) is commonly used for a strong edge-lit effect; 2–3 mm is too thin.
   • If you want the logo to glow, use LED edge lighting or a small backlight behind frosted acrylic.
4. Sky tube hanging banner
   • For a square tube with rounded corners, use light fabric printed on both or one side depending on visibility. Include hanging points and confirm rigging load with the exhibition hall.
5. Graphics: back-lit vs flat vinyl banner — approximate prices

   Prices vary widely by country, print quality, material, and supplier. These are rough estimates per panel and should be confirmed with local printers.

   • Back-lit fabric graphic with lightbox frame (1170 × 5500 mm)
     • Typical range: US$400–US$1,200 per panel. Factors: size, frame type (aluminum frames with internal LED strips), number of LEDs, and whether assembly is included.
   • Flat vinyl banner (1170 × 5500 mm)
     • Typical range: US$100–US$400 per banner for standard vinyl. Costs rise for blockout vinyl, hemmed edges, or finishing with grommets.
   • Storage room graphic (1170 × 1300 mm)
     • Back-lit small panel: US$120–US$400
     • Flat vinyl: US$30–US$120

   Notes: Back-lit graphics require a frame + LED lighting, which increases cost but gives a premium look. Flat vinyl is cheaper and fine for most uses. Ask local suppliers for quotes including installation and transport.

Questions for you (so I can give exact prices)

• What country or city will the stand be built in (so I can estimate local pricing)?
• How many wall panels and storage panels do you need printed in total?
• Do you prefer wired lighting only, or would you like battery-powered options for some shelves?
• Confirm the desired Plexiglas/acrylic logo thickness (mm or cm) and whether you want edge-lit or backlit.

If you want, I can produce a final, print-ready specification (one-page PDF-style text) and a short shopping list with exact part codes for LED strips, drivers, and likely fabricators in your region — send your location and target budget.
