Certain EL colors do not have added dyes, but it is important to note that some supplemental dyes are UV sensitive and will eventually start to fade if exposed to sunlight. Spot UV filters or inks must be used to protect the EL light if it is used in a display window with direct sun exposure. It is important to specify to the factory that the EL will be used in direct sunlight, as the application of protective film will affect production and costs.
