Light Tape

Light Tape ® is an Electroluminescent lamp produced exclusively by Electro-LuminX ® Lighting Corporation utilizing our patented manufacturing process and materials.

Electroluminescence (EL) is a means of generating light by the electrical excitation of light emitting phosphors, similar to how Plasma televisions are backlit today. In this case, the light emitting phosphors are located between two electrically conductive plates. Applying an alternating (A.C.) current activates the system producing light. At least one of the electrodes consists of a light transmissive conductive material allowing the light to escape
