EL evaluation kit from Rapid
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 for a variety of purposes, from safety to selling.
As well as TV and theatre, EL products are becoming more common in a health and safety environment (edge of step illuminators, safety clothing), retail displays, architectural lighting and signage.
Surelight is one of the leading names in this area of optoelectronics. They have supplied high-profile customers in broadcasting and the entertainment industry, including the BBC, Channel 4 and the Royal Opera House. Surelight Neon Glow Wire was featured in the Christmas 2006 edition of Dr Who, a series of Channel 4 promotional 'idents' and the music video for Sophie Ellis Bextor's most recent single.
From 22 October Rapid will be selling 26 Surelight lines, including an evaluation kit featuring a power pack and sample quantities of wire. Wire is available in 6 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.
