How Does Light Tape Work?

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.

Why are Light Tape Lamps so Revolutionary?

Light Tape is the most energy efficient and versatile light bulb ever developed! Light Tape Lamps and animated signs are at the leading edge of global quality, reliability and service standards.

Incredible Energy Savings

One hundred meters of standard 1" Light Tape lamp consumes less than a 100 watt light bulb! Light Tape is the most energy efficient form of lighting available today. Typical energy consumption is less than 0.25 ma / sq. in.

Uniform Surface Lighting

Light Tape backlighting systems uniformly backlight onyx, engineered materials and signage. Fits in almost any space at less than 0.02" thick! No more hot or dark spots and does not generate heat.

Thinner Than a Credit Card

Put Light Tape just about anywhere in your next design, literally. Flat and emits no heat, you can fit it into about any spot! Allows for elegant installations, see the light, not the bulb.

Outdoor Friendly

We have engineered Light Tape to work outside as well as inside. A logical replacement for traditional neon or other accent lighting. Quick, easy, do it yourself! Try our Snap-N-Light systems.

Lasts For Years, No Maintenance

Light Tape Systems last for years with virtually no maintenance required while providing low energy operation. No more emergency calls to your repair man because part or all of your lights went out last night!

Modern High-Tech Look

A very clean, crisp and modern look that is visible for miles with a laser like appearance. Utilize this cutting edge technology to differentiate you from single point light source systems. Go with the cool glow.

Extremely Light Weight

Light Tape weighs less than a 1/4 pound per square foot. Great option to have when weight is an issue and supporting a light is difficult.

Long Runs, Only One Connection!

Imagine a single 100 meter run of Light Tape powered by a single power supply and connected only at one end. And, the brightness will not vary over the length of the lamp. Accent your venue in a matter of minutes with just one connection!

Easy To Install, Comes in Rolls!

Light Tape systems are available in custom lengths as well as by the roll. Flexible enough to wrap around corners or uneven surfaces, just connect and run. For indoor installations, simply use a clear overlay or double sided tape. Or try our outdoor mounting systems for exterior applications.

Extremely Durable, Cut It With Scissors!

Light Tape does not contain glass, gas or have any filaments to break, it will not fail catastrophically. Designed to withstand high impact or pressure, not abrasion.

Safe Alternative, No More Glass!

Our Light Tape technology is basically a flat flexible plastic lamp that does not contain gasses, filaments, mercury or glass. It is extremely visible through smoke yet does not produce a glare. Cool to touch and meets UL as well as other agency safety requirements.

Loves To Dance, Flash It, Dim It!

Unlike fiber optics, Light Tape loves to be flashed. Instantly turn on and off the Light Tape for a stunning effect. Flashing will not only enhance many applications but will significantly extend its life.

Quality

Electro-LuminX manufactures Light Tape in the US to ensure optimal quality standards. After 12 years of engineering and development, we have stable and repeatable process to ensure world class quality. The lamp and processes are patent protected and manufacturing is controlled by ISO9001:2000 processes.

Why is Light Tape Unique?

Combine Electro-LuminX's patented technology and manufacturing processes with the best materials available and you get Light Tape Lamps. We utilize SYLVANIA's premium quality light emitting phosphors and Honeywell's Encapsulant Systems to guarantee that we deliver the highest quality lamp possible to our customers

Light Tape lamps are changing the way people think of a light bulb. Imagine a light bulb as thin as a credit card, in any color, that you can bend around any surface, for hundreds and hundreds of feet, indoors or outdoors, that costs only a fraction of what traditional bulbs cost to operate. In fact, it is the most important innovation in light since the invention of the bulb.

Or imagine your individualized creative sign artwork with animated illumination to command attention at a point of purchase or anywhere you need it.


Light Tape Energy Consumption Comparison

Light Tape is the most inexpensive, energy efficient lighting option available, costing only about $80 a year. Compared to fluorescent and neon lighting, both costing about $1700 annually, Light Tape is a bargain! Even LEDs, the "energy efficient" choice, costs about $500 a year to operate.
