A letterbox with lighting stands out when darkness falls, without having to compromise on design. Residents and architects choose models where the house number remains legible and the letterbox itself blends quietly into the facade. Below you can see how the Maxus and the WALL approach this.
A lit mailbox solves an everyday problem: after sunset, a house number is often hard to read from the street. Visitors, parcel couriers and emergency services then look for a digit that fades against a dark facade. By lighting the house number, whether with a built-in LED or with a subtle light point next to the box, your address becomes immediately recognisable.
Lighting is also a design choice. Light that is too bright or a cold blue tint can detract from a well-kept facade. That is why we opt for a restrained approach: the light supports the house number and the material, it does not overpower them. This way, a design mailbox remains a calm element in the architecture of your home, even in the dark.
The Maxus can be fitted with an info LED. That illuminated information panel makes the house number visible in the dark and can also serve as a place for practical information. The box is made of aluminium and available in a wide colour palette, including more than 2000 RAL shades, so that it matches brickwork, joinery or gate. The combination lock and the parcel compartment are options that apply per version; which combination is possible depends on the model you choose.
The WALL is a wall-mounted model with a sleek, flat shape. It is suited to those who want the mailbox to blend visually into the wall and to place the house number calmly beside or above it. Here too, the chosen version determines which lighting and which extras are possible. Doubting between the two? An authorised sales point helps you compare the options per model, from dimensions to the way the light is integrated.
For the placement of a mailbox in Belgium, we refer to the guidelines of bpost and to the regulations of your municipality. They determine, among other things, where the box must hang and how the house number must be legible. A lit house number helps with this, but does not replace the regulations: always check the rules that apply to your address.
In practical terms, a lit mailbox works best when the light and the house number are considered together. Choose a digit type that matches the style of the facade, keep the wiring neatly concealed and match the light colour to the surroundings. This way, the mailbox becomes a smart mailbox: easy to use, clear for anyone who rings the bell, and quietly present in the street scene.

That is a letterbox where the house number is made visible with built-in or additional light, so that your address remains legible even in the dark. This can be done, among other ways, via the info LED on the Maxus; the WALL is a wall-mounted model next to which you place the house number discreetly.
