Technical Information of Flexible Neon wire

Technical Information of Flexible Neon wire
Flexible Neon Wire, also called Electroluminescent (EL ) Wire is the
new generation product in global lighting and display industry.
Wrapped by colorful plastic tube on its surface, it appears similar to
common phone wire, emitting light along its entire length but without
any heat radiation. It consumes much lower power, just 50-70% of LED
lamp, 20-40%,rope lamp and 1-10% neon light. Funded by professional
Institute of Chinese Academy of Science, it was developed and put into
production by Shanghai Keyan Phosphor Technology Co., Ltd (Patent
NO. : ZL01133342.1), it open a new era in lighting and display field
featured with energy saving, environmental protection and health.
Application Field£º
1. indoor and outdoor advertisement, picture and logo, shopwindow,
door, furniture, wall, roof, etc.
2. car, boat and other vehicles decoration: inside and outside
decoration, number display.
3. safety sign and guidance: stair, passage, doorplate, temporary
marks.
4. toy, art and handcraft, sport article, garment, electrical
appliance
Characteristic:
1.Homogeneous light along the entire length with wide range of vivid
color, great and comfortable to be seen especially in darkness for
both human being and animal, also no influence on growth of plants.
It's clear and safe to be observed in distance at night when it's been
equipped on car door outline. It also can beauty the city night scene
when applied on tree, grass etc.
2.With characteristic of energy saving, environmental protection as
well as safety, it has low power consumption, applied to voltage from
3V to 220V, also no heat radiation, can save national electric power
sources greatly. As per present suitable application in indoor or
outdoor low building , it's able to save 15% darkness decoration power
in cities. And decrease environmental temperature efficiently. It will
not cause any environmental pollution whatever usage or be abandoned,
especially can avoid serious lighting pollution in big cities. Due to
its low working current , it has no harm to human body.
3.It's flexible, can be bent , knotted, cut , stretched, spliced
etc. but lighting effect will not be influenced . Flexibility of EL
wire is similar to common phone wire, folding angle reach more than 15
degree, maximum bending achieve 360 degree, and can be bent or
stretched repeatedly . The length of EL wire is cut according to
customer's application but the homogenous lighting effect remain still
the same.
4.it come into continuous lighting length , featured in 360 degree
multi color lighting, be made single color or combination of different
colors on one single wire, animation effect is achieved by circuit
control. It has different shape such as squareness, round, half round,
flat etc. Single luminescence core or more luminescence cores is able
to be combined to improve the brightness. Diameter arrange from 0.7 to
20mm or even bigger.
5.To be fixed on decoration surface with transparent adhesive tape,
glue, clip, thread nail, or plastic card etc. decoration surface
include glass, display window, furniture, window, wall etc. It's easy
to be applied, no need of any professional instruction. Flat EL wire
can also to be sewed on cloth, leather etc

Special specification as your order in advance



Attention:
1. forbid to connect power supplier without its driver
2. the flash function control by driver.
3. forbid to cut when connecting power. The electrode forbid to
connect together, and should prevent it from water.
4. When making shape or connecting, do not to drag and bend
emphatically.
5. the wire need match the suitable driver to work, otherwise may
break the wire and driver, even dangerous. The driver should operate
in power properly. The driver forbid to work without connecting wire.
6. If the wire or driver is very hot, cut off power immediately, call
the distributor.
7. keep far from tinder, causticity goods
8. install and connect with professional's guidance
Please attend the warning above

I thought the israeles were making this stuff 10 years ago

What's the efficiency in lumens/watt?

How long does it last, say, hours to half brightness? ELs tend to
degrade with time.

John

 

1000 hours is a bit short.
-400C??

Absolute zero is -273.15°C

LOL

A miracle, call NASA, NIST,

 

Yea, 600C was a bit high too

 

Prolly -40°C ~ 60°C, innit?
