ElectroLuminescence (EL): Is defined as direct conversion of electric energy to light energy by a solid phosphor subjected to an alternating electric field.

EL is a relatively new technology being employed in more and more devices everyday! EL technology normally takes the form of "wires", "panels", or "Strips."

An organic phosphor is sandwiched between two conductors. When an AC signal of sufficient voltage and frequency is applied to the conductors an electric field is formed across the phosphor. This causes the phosphor to emit visible light.

Most of the phosphors employed in the technology are only capable of emitting white or pink light. Colored "overlays" are used to expand the color spectrum. Overlays are available in several of the most common colors.

EL panels and wires have very unique features: They produce almost no heat and are paper thin (.010 thick.) They produce a soft neon like glow, with no hot spots such as filament bulbs or LED's. They are easy to cut and shape with a sharp knife or scissors. They can be bent (carefully) and formed around angled or round objects!

EL is sold under several trade names: "Cool Wire", "Neon Wire", "EL Lamp", and "Luminous Film." Regardless of the name, the technology is the same.

Throughout these listings the "Power Supplies" we refer to are actually "Inverters" which take the small 3vdc - 4.5vdc battery voltage and increase/invert it to the approximately 80+ VAC 4Khz voltage required to "light" the EL panels or EL wires!

* Electroluminescent posters are vibration and impact resistant,

* Electroluminescent posters have an extremely low power consumption . consuming 75-90% less power than any other point light source.

* Available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

* Lightweight.

* Flexibility - Can be bent to configure almost any shape and design.

* Strength - Almost unbreakable.

* Reliability - does not catastrophically or abruptly fail as they consist of millions of microscopic lamps.  (Unlike filament or fluorescent lighting).

* High efficiency and brightness - Typically 80% of energy is converted to light.

* Highly visible and can be seen from further distances in darkness, smoke and fog.

* Low operating temperature - A cold lighting source and has no heat because of electronic luminous emission.

* Soft non-glaring light which make sit easy to look at

* Waterproof.

* Uses no hazardous materials - landfill friendly.

* Long service life - Over 30,000 hours.

* Maintenance free.
