I heard that if you spend 15 years dedicated to a cause, you’re considered an expert on the matter. For Electro-LuminX Lighting Corporation, a company developed by Robert Ponticelli Sr. and his son, their dedication to electroluminescence (EL) makes them experts in the field of low-energy lighting. Gaze at the colorful display of Light Tape today – the product from which they’ve earned expert status – and you’ll see it’s design is one of the future.

Light Tape.

Use it as architectural backlighting or accent lighting, for signage or marketing, in bars and clubs, as a safety indicator, or get creative using it as a modern, low energy lighting solution. To be frank, the versatile strip of tape in all of its bold bendability can wrap around or lie perfectly straight to illuminate hundreds of feet on virtually any surface.

The science of EL was first developed back in the 1960s to backlight the instrument panel and gauge system of certain Chrysler and Imperial cars. Nowadays, the technology has come a long way in its powder or a thin film form. Light Tape was developed using Honeywell and their encapsulant systems along with Global Tungsten & Powders’ light-emitting phosphors. In other words, the light-emitting phosphors are positioned between two electrically conductive plates. By applying an additional current, the systems creates light, and before you know it, Light Tape was born.

Electro-LuminX Lighting Corporation markets their uniform tape in a variety of ways. The many styles, colors, and uses can light up an inside or outside space while cutting your energy consumption down to just 0.25 ma/ sq. in. When compared with a normal lighting, 100 meters of a 1″ wide strip of Light Tape matches the energy used in just one normal bulb. Plus, it’s hassle-free with no glare or replacing glass to deal with, and only one plug needed to evenly light up an entire strip.

Constantly on the brink of a better EL lighting solutions, the innovative research team over at Electro-LuminX won’t stop until Light Tape reaches us as the light at the end of the tunnel.
