One of the most significant and positive characteristics of Electro luminescent technology is its low energy consumption. Use of this technology can result in a reduction of energy usage up to 90% making Electroluminescent panels a great Green product.

Because an EL Panel only consumes approximately 2mW/cm2 (2 milliwatts per square centimeter) it has a very low power draw which means it has a low operating cost.

Additionally, we can enhance the value-add of EL technology by integrating external sensing and other initialization control devices. These optional control devices can provide for two significant advantages: increased lifespan by eliminating unnecessary “on” time; and increased impact.

The following are basic control options which can be integrated into EL technology today:

• Movement Sensor

• Light Sensor

• Sound Sensor

• Timer

• External Stimulus (variables such as temperature, time and date etc.)
