DESCRIPTION

Light Tape employs a radically distinctive and patent-protected form of electroluminescent technology. It exists in the form of ultra-low-profile, lightweight panels and strips that seamlessly and evenly illuminate from edge to edge. The philosophy behind the product is simple: a light’s physical design should not restrict design or artistic vision. With Light Tape, you have the possibility to turn anything into the light. That’s where our specifics stop and your creativity starts.

What is Light Tape®

A3A2 Copyright 2015 Light Tape® Electro-LuminX Lighting Corporation Copyright 2015 Light Tape® Electro-LuminX Lighting Corporation

Light Tape® The Unorthodox Alternative to a Conventional Routine.Stop using outdated sytems, take a leap...

©2015 Light Tape® Electro-LuminX Corporation www.lighttape.com

Even illumination: a uniform lightsource without di�usion , no hot-spots, at any size!

Custom shapes: allow your creativity todetermine your lights design.

No heat: Unlike LEDs, Light Tape® can run for40,000 hours and never gets hot. Ability to

withstand extreme tempatures.

Energy e�cient: Light Tape® uses 40% less power than traditional LEDs

Made in the USA: Built with pride, manufactured to last.

Thinner than a credit card: Light Tape® can fit into any tight area with ease.

Durability: Extremely impact resistant, heavy load capable. Light Tape® can withstand a bullet and still illuminate.

Easy Installation: Our technology is easyto install. Interior or Exterior, Light Tape®

illuminates 150 feet on a single connection.

Prepare to beilluminated

Light Tape is an electroluminescent or ‘EL’ lamp that challenges the way the world uses light. It’s thinner than a credit card and illuminates evenly, end to end, side to side. Shape it , curve it, choose your color. That’s where our specifics stop and your creativity starts.

As simple as a traditional lamp - plug it in and turn it on - but a complex evolution to the lighting industry. Light Tape® is based on electroluminescent, or "EL" technology; our one of a kind split-electrode technology and patent-protected polymer chemistry produce a material unlike any other.

How Light Tape® Works

Enviroshield™Encapsulating Barrier

Color Filter w/UV Protection

Light Emitting Transparent Electrode

High Bright Phosphor

Dielectric Insulation

Rear Electrodes

PatentedPolymerChemistry

Compared to alternate EL technologies, no one comes close to our quality. We start by employing only the best materials to deliver shocking performance. We have a unique manufacturing process, a departure from traditional batch silk screening. Would you want your light madeon the same machine as a t-shirt screen printer? We don’t either, but that is how most alternate lamps are made.

Novel Chemistry: Light Tape®’s one-of-a-kind chemistry is protected by numerous patents. Our material’slayers are bonded at the chemical level, producing a brighter, more durable lighting source. Light Tape® is a true solid state system. Other EL producers glue the rear electrode to the material, which easily separates with flexing or temperature changes, leading to electrical failure. Best Materials: Only the best phosphors and conductive films are used in Light Tape®. The combination produces a brighter, more durable light that uses less energy. Other EL producers use low grade phosphors and poor conductive materials resulting in non-uniformity of brightness and poor energy efficiency, not to mention much shorter lifetimes. American Made: Light Tape® is manufactured in the United States under strict quality control standards. Ourown proprietary production methods create an electroluminescent light source unlike any other in the world.We are producing a lamp that is built to last, able to withstand the toughest applications. Unprecedented lifetimes: We are producing a lamp that is built to last, able to withstand the toughest applications.

There are dozens of things that cause a lamp to fail, but most do not affect Light Tape®.
