case studies - Submergence testing

With a flat dynamic product like EL there are endless applications. And we are constantly being asked to investigate all sorts of opportunities. Whether it is an EL lamp for road signs, tread plate illumination for the automotive industry or a poster to go on the side of a tower; we relish the challenge.

One thing we are often asked is about the "weatherability" of the panels. As with any electrical product water is an important thing to be aware of.

Out products are placed in all sorts of environments for up to 10 years in some cases, therefore water ingress is important. The video here shows one of our early water tests. In this video the panel is connected to a main power supply and illuminated while under water.
