Electroluminescent Wires

Electroluminescent wire (EL wire) is a thin beam of light based on the technology of electroluminescence. It is the world's one-of-a-kind light source available in the form of a wire in numerous colours and diameters. The lengths of the light beams can vary from a few inches to a few thousands of feet. This great source of light can be harnessed for crafting aesthetically appealing things. You can light up virtually anything from doors and tables to clothes and enjoy the cool glow.

Brightness: The light is bright enough for decorative purposes. You can increase or decrease brightness by increasing or decreasing voltage. The typical brightness is 70Nit (800Hz, 100V)

Handling: El wire is available in spools containing 250m of wire length.

Lifetime: The life of El wire is dependent on frequency and voltage inputs. Though you can get higher brightness by subjecting the wire to higher frequency and voltage, its life gets shortened.

We give you two rough estimations:

• When wire is continuously subjected to a frequency of 60 Hz and a voltage of 110V, the    estimated lifetime will be about 25,000 hours.
• When wire is continuously subjected to a frequency of 2,000 Hz and a voltage of 120V,    the estimated lifetime will be about 1,000 hours.

Electroluminescent Strips

HOML supplies EL lighting in the form of strips. They come with matching power packs. An EL strip is a linear light source in the form of a strip with an average thickness of only about 0.020Ó. The length of the strips vary from a few inches up to 480 ft. The width varies from ¼ inch up to 30 inches. HOML EL strips come with standard widths of ¼, ½, 1, and 2 inches, although they can be customized as per requirements.

The brightness, which is directly proportional to voltage, is more than adequate for accent lighting and interior decors.

Superiority of EL strips over neon, LED and fiber optics:

• An EL strip is more energy saving than its competing products
• It is less expensive and easy to install
• It is ultra thin to suit various requirements and is cool to touch
• The strips are available in continuous lengths and can be supplied as per requirements
• The strips can be powered by batteries or electrical outlets

Other features:

• All panels supplied by HOML are fully encapsulated
• The panels have two base colours - white and aqua
• Can be produced with overlays having colours- blue, green, red, orange, purple and gold

The standard delivery time for EL strips is 3-4 weeks. The lifetime of the product depends on frequency and voltage inputs. You can get higher brightness with higher frequency and voltage, but the life gets shortened. Fortunately the decay process is gradual and you can enjoy light for a much longer time. You do not need any special professional training to install EL strips. Only some training from our side, some tools and ordinary electric outlet will suffice.

Electroluminescent Sheets

	HOML supplies EL sheets in the form of panels. The panels are ideal for advertisement billboards, kiosks and safety storages. They are fully encapsulated and come with matching power packs. They are available in two base colours- white and aqua. The panels can also be produced with overlays having colours of blue, green, red, orange, purple and gold.

The EL sheets are actually extremely thin lamps with thickness as low as 0.17mm. The size of the EL sheets varies from less than a stamp up to A1. We also cater to the other European size requirements A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 and A7.

The following are the salient features of our EL sheets:

• They are affordable
• They are energy-saving and easy to install without any specialized knowledge
• They come in several sizes to suit your needs
• They have tremendous visibility- even in haze, fog and smoke
• They can be powered by either batteries or home electrical outlets
• They are cool to touch
• They provide uniform illumination irrespective of their size
• They save space

The standard delivery time for our EL sheets is 3-4 weeks. We can also supply screen printed EL sheets if the required quantity is considerably large. In that case the delivery time will vary between 3-8 weeks.

The standard brightness of our EL sheets is 50 cd/m2 under 100 v power supply with a frequency of 400 Hz. The life of the EL sheets depends on the applied voltage and frequency. With higher the voltage and frequency, the life of the sheet gets shortened. The decay process is very slow and you can continue to get light for a long time- even the life expectancy can exceed more than 20,000 hours.
