Electroluminescent wire offers neon alternative

A Rapid Electronics product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 18, 2007

EL products are cheaper to install and operate than neon lighting, as well as being more energy efficient.

Electroluminescent wire and panels provide a cost-effective visual alternative to traditional neon lighting.

EL products are cheaper to install and operate, cooler to the touch, more energy efficient, easier to manipulate and (almost) unbreakable.

Brilliant lighting and display solutions can be provided for customers needing to create special effects in an entertainment environment, or who need to illuminate a dark area.

EL products are becoming more common in health and safety environments such as edge of step illuminators and safety clothing.

They are also being used in retail displays, architectural lighting and signage.

Rapid will be selling 26 Surelight lines, including an evaluation kit featuring a power pack and sample quantities of wire.

The wire is available in six colours - white, pink, gold, blue, aqua and lime - providing uniform brightness along the length of the wire.

The products can run on battery power for long periods, making them suitable for portable applications where mains power may not be available.
