Electroluminescence

Who's going to be the first to get their car painted with this stuff?

Wonder if any sponsors on LM24 cars might be interested

I assume, it's not exactly cheap?

Wow Wasn't overly impressed at first, but when they start lighting up individual bits it looks incredible.

hmm wonder how big/small a dot of paint needs to be. You could turn the entire vehicle into a dot-matrix display.

All that tech and then paint the side of the car like a Greco Roman Balcony ?

Would love to see how it works.

Suitably impressed. I wonder if this tech will make an appearance in an upcoming Fast and Furious film...

It would be pretty cool if a police car could switch between marked and unmarked...

Or round the back of Harrods.

The first and most important thing that I always ask when some funky new paint turns up is; How long does it last?

I'm not spending thousands painting my car for something that turns to crap after a year.

'Electroluminescent lamps do not burn out, per se. Over time, they will become less bright, and the duration of the brightness is measured in a “half life” which is the time it takes to degrade to 50% of maximum brightness.

The life of the coating depends on the LumiColor™ selected, and the frequency and voltage at which LumiLor™ is driven.

Note that LumiLor™ will only degrade under power, and that charging and discharging it does not impact the life – only the total hours lit matters.'


It last forever if you don't use it

Or as a graphic equalizer on a mobile amp
