EL Limitations
• Low light input • Susceptible to moisture and ultraviolet • Color shift • Cost effective manufacture • Short life
Recent Developments
• Higher output, long life phosphors • Microencapsulation to prevent degradation by
moisture • Ultraviolet absorbers • Controlling of colour shifts – dye conversion • Efficient, lightweight power source of 400Hz
and above
EL Advantages Over Incandescence
• Has no infrared radiation emission • Has no ultraviolet emission • Emits in narrow bandwidths • Is compatible with Night Vision Goggles (NVG) • Provides excellent scene contrast • Does not fail catastrophically • Low Power Consumption• No Light Pollution• Environmentally Friendly
EL “Area” Light
• Helps eliminate glare • Improves contrast and visibility • Is Flexible/Durable • Reliable, low maintenance • Low power consumption and cool
