 I looked in the UL 48 guidelines but lack of time this morning for more details I can only 
provide the following; Because of the combustable nature of some acrylics I was led to 
believe that a sign or letter bearing the sticker of UL must have Lexan faces. As for the 
wiring I will look again in the guidlines.
