It is a 28\" H x 22\" W backlit panel with 262 peg holes, supplied with 144 colour-coded rods — 16 each in red, green, purple, yellow, orange, blue, and clear, plus 32 black — that users push, pull, and rearrange through the illuminated frame. Available across North America from The Sensory Supply, it can be mounted to a wall with the included brass clips or used flat on a tabletop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTwo lighting features distinguish this panel from comparable rod or peg boards. The built-in LED lights are dimmable, allowing the panel's brightness to be reduced for users with light sensitivities — a clinical detail that makes this accessible for a broader range of users than fixed-brightness alternatives. And the rods fluoresce under UV\/black light, casting a completely different visual image when a UV lamp is present in the sensory room. A panel used in standard LED mode during the day becomes a UV-activated fluorescent display at night or in a darkened room, giving it a second visual mode with no additional equipment beyond a UV light source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThere is also an entirely optional tactile and educational experiment: chill the rods in a fridge, then roll them between your palms or along your body — do they change colour? The physical sensation of cool acrylic against skin adds a proprioceptive and tactile dimension, and the colour-response question introduces a simple experimental method to any session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey Features of the TFH Rod Wall Activity Panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e144 Colour-Coded Rods in 8 Colours\u003c\/em\u003e - 16 rods each of red, green, purple, yellow, orange, blue, and clear;
