“EL” Panel Diagram

Your design is printed on an electroluminescent (EL) panel, made of a thin vinyl material. It backlights the design in different lighting sequences.
The panel is plugged into a battery pack to power the lighting display. You can choose a long cable ribbon, or a “wireless” option instead.
The EL Panel is powered by a variety of battery pack inverters. Certain battery packs use specific animation effects, where as others can make the design light up to sound and music.
“El” Posters
- These EL advertisement posters animate the lighting display in up to 10 frames
- Looks like a regular poster when turned off
- Plugs into standard 120V outlet, USB adaptor, or car adaptor
- Easy to install with velcro or 3M tape
- Can be framed, or built into a custom fixture or display (not to be used in direct sunlight as it may cause fading)
- Stays cool: the illuminated phosphor doesn’t generate heat the way conventional sources do
- Low power consumption (typically 5-10 watts)
EL panels that are larger than 10″ require a 12V plug application. EL posters can be made as large as 4 ft x 6 ft for a fully lit up animated design. We will be able to give you the exact dimensions of your design once you send the artwork.
We can make a custom frame for your EL poster with the following options:
Aluminum Alloy Frame

Plastic

Price depends on the size of the poster and how much lighting is required. We are able to give you specific pricing based on your design and requirements.
The design is printed on an EL panel and the technology works through backlighting so you will be able to see the design no matter what. If you are in the bright sun,however, you may not see the light up effect. We do not recommend using the panels in direct sunlight without UV protected glass, as the sun could fade the product. As long as you are inside you should be able to see it lighting up when it is turned on.
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.
