How bright is electroluminescent lighting?
EL cable is bright enough to be seen from up to 400 feet at night and can be supported by common alkaline cell batteries or the automotive battery in your car, truck or boat depending on the application. You can use it to back-light or accent certain objects such as signs and license plates to achieve a very appealing neon glow. If you Double, or triple the cable, the neon glow is even stronger. An application of white paint (semi-gloss or gloss) or reflective material can be applied to act as a reflective surface to help increase the glow. Brightness is also determined by the voltage of the AC electricity provided. Voltage is determined by the “inverter driver” being used. An inverter driver is a small device that acts much like a ballast does in a fluorescent light fixture. The driver used determines both the voltage and the frequency applied to the EL cable.
