What is EL
Electroluminescent technology is the new paper thin, captivating light source that is revolutionizing the way businesses market their branded message to target audiences. Electro-Luminescent (EL) is set to take advertising to the next level, "out-shining" other light- source based products that are energy deficient, expensive and bulky. Electroluminescent technology has been around for many years and only recently has it become affordable to produce and manufacture.
EL lighting also known as a Lighting Emitting Capacitor (LEC) produces light when phosphor crystals are laminated between two conductive layers and, as a voltage is applied between the two conductive layers, or electrodes, the phosphor emits light energy. Phosphor-based panels are frequently used as backlights or liquid crystal displays. They provide a gentle, even illumination to the entire display while consuming relatively little electric power. Any artwork supplied can be animated to light as per the client’s specifications. The panels can be customized to illuminate in any size, shape, color or sequence. This product can be designed to fit all registered logos and branded message. It can be power by a battery pack, AC adapter, cigarette lighter, or even solar power. The applications include any window surface or can be set in a molding or typical framework. The potential of this product is immense across a wide range of applications.

Features & Benefits of Electroluminescent Technology
Electroluminescent panels are paper thin laminated panels that illuminate as an electrical current is passed through the panel.  Phosphor crystals with coloured overlays are sandwiched between conductors, and as an electrical current is applied, the phosphor crystals rapidly charge and emit light which illuminates the printed overlay.
Electroluminescent lamps are produced in many forms such as Electroluminescent panels, Tape or Wire.  The low power consumption makes EL technology one of the most energy efficient light sources available.

Characteristics of the Electroluminescent panels

• Can be produced to any size or shape.
• Paper Thin - Typically between 0.25mm - 0.5mm.
• Lightweight.
• Flexibility - Can be applied to a flat or curved surface.
• Strength - Almost unbreakable.
• Reliability - EL does not catastrophically fail as it consist of millions of microscopic crystals.
• Low power consumption - Consumes between 75-90% less electricity than any other light source.
• Efficiency - 80% of energy is converted to light.
• Brightness - Brightness can be varied to suit customer requirements.
• Visibility - Can be seen from far distances in darkness, smoke and fog.
• Low operating temperature - EL is a cold lighting source and does not generate heat due to its     electronic luminous emission.
• No Glare - EL produces a soft even light over the entire surface.
• Waterproof.
• Landfill friendly - EL does not use any hazardous materials.
• Longevity- Over 30,000 hours depending upon brightness.
• Maintenance free.
