Custom EL Light Up Posters

Our EL light up posters use advanced electroluminescent (EL) technology—the same glow tech used in car dashboards—to create eye-catching, animated digital posters. These ultra-thin signs feature custom-printed graphics enhanced by up to 10-frame lighting sequences that simulate motion and bring your design to life.

These lighted signs are a powerful advertising tool for trade shows, retail, hospitality, or any type of marketing. Available in sizes up to 36" x 72", each poster is fully customizable and powered by wall outlet, USB, or vehicle DC plug.

How It Works

1. EL Poster

Your design is printed on an electroluminescent poster. It lights up through backlighting the design in different light sequences. It is very thin and flexible material.

2. EL Driver Inverter

The battery pack is hidden within a pocket inside the hat. Press the button on the side of the brim hat to turn it on/off and to switch between three light modes.

3. AC/DC Power Adaptor

This is the power switch that plugs into a regular 120V outlet. US & EU plugs available. We also have car cigarette lighter adapters and 5V USB adapters (size limitations).

Frequently Asked Questions

Glowing Unicorn custom EL poster design with trippy background

Is there a minimum order quantity for custom EL posters?

No! You can order as little as one custom EL poster. However, the more you order the less per unit the posters will cost.

Are they waterproof?

EL posters are water resistant but not waterproof. The connection and power cable should never get wet. We recommend using 3M tape to stick to the inside of a window – though the printed design may fade from sun exposure. We can also make a custom frame that will make the poster waterproof. Please ask us in advance about this option.

Do I need a power source to make it work?

Yes you will need either a regular 120V outlet or a DC power outlet (car cigarette lighter plug) for the posters. If the poster is small enough we can use a 5V USB to power the display, perfect for laptops.

What is the pricing for custom EL posters?

Pricing for custom EL posters depend on the quantity ordered, the size of the poster(s), and how much is lighting up within the poster design. Our design team will make an animated mock up and tell you the dimensions of the poster based on the design artwork you send. Once you confirm the lighting animation we will provide you a customized quote for your order.

Can you see the design lighting during the day?

When the poster is not connected to power you are able to see the design. Once connected to a power source, the printed design will light up in programmed sequences to animate and illuminate the design. If you are trying to use this in the bright sun you may not see the lighting effect. We do not recommend using the panels in direct sunlight without UV protected glass, as the sun can fade the product. If you are inside a space then you should be able to see it lighting up – the darker the space the brighter it will shine.

What are the artwork requirements?

We can use any high resolution file such as .JPG, .GIF, .TIFF, .PNG, .PSD, .AI, etc. The bigger the image, the better. Feel free to include as many colors in your design as you want for no additional price. Our design team will create a free animated mock up of how your design will light up. You can work with the design team until the product is exactly what you imagined.

Does it come with a stand?

You can order a stand at an extra cost. We would be happy to give you a quote depending on the size of the poster and design animation.
