Overview of Electroluminescent Lighting

The electroluminescent lamp is as thin as a credit card,flexible, cool to the touch, energy efficient, and easy to use. It is available in widths from 1/4"(0.63cm) to 30"(76cm) and lengths to hundreds of feet(meters). This makes it the ideal lighting solution for many applications.

It is an electroluminescent light source, also known as a light emitting capacitor(LEC). It produces light when phosphor crystals are excited by being exposed to electric current. Electroluminescent (EL) panels and strips can be found as backlighting for LCDs in pagers, cell phones, watches, and control panels as well as strip lighting for egress, decor architecture, broadcast sets, and much more.
