Ultra-Thin Flexible Light Sheet
Ultra Thin Flexible Light Sheet
This super-thin flexible light sheet is less than 1mm thick, emits no UV radiation and negligible heat even when used for hours or days at a time. The unit provides an even light over the whole surface - up to 200 candles/m2 with no dark spots. The lighted panels have a surface hard enough to be worked on and are perfect for many conservation related tasks. Use them to view watermarks in books or backlight pages for in situ repairs without damaging the spine. They're ideal for viewing photo negatives, backlighting and illuminating damaged areas of paintings or textiles. Thin and flexible, they can be rolled to fit inside hard-to-reach areas such as vintage clothing sleeves or other three-dimensional objects. Being so lightweight, they are also quite portable allowing several conservators within an institution to share a light source and use the LEC panel in their own workspace without having to transport fragile objects to a shared light table. They can also be used for long-term exhibition and informational signage lighting.
- The technology underlying principles of the LEC panels has its genesis in an older proven technology, known as electroluminescence (EL). However, the LEC differs from EL technology in many ways, including the fact that the LEC panels provide whiter light without a blue cast, have a significantly longer life, provide a more uniform illumination across their surface, emit less noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI), utilize power inverters to regulate power output and maintain a more constant brightness and contain certain safety features not contained in traditional EL lighting products. Lighting products utilizing LED and OLED technologies produce light by combining multiple smaller points of light into a larger light source. LEC panels produce a uniform source of light in a single pixel format without multiple points of electrical connection, across a larger flexible area, are visible from a wide angle, are more durable and are not sensitive to vibration. LEC panels also produce light that ensures the color accuracy of the illuminated surface or object.
