Light is a thing of beauty. Whether installing them under a cabinet or front in center stage, lighting can enhance, create, illuminate and completely transform a space. LED lights are a large part of the lighting revolution that we are currently in, which started about 15 years ago. Now there's an LED replacement for nearly every facet of lighting. One of the biggest revolutions of lighting currently are LED Strip Lights , which illuminate linear spaces in a number of industries. LED Light Strips today are a far cry from their inception, as they offer as good, if not better lighting options than any other form of lights.  Great Lighting Starts With Great Components When LED's first came out, there was soft market acceptance due to a low CRI (Color Rendering Index), which causes colors to be distorted. It's more common in the food industry, but CRI spans across stage performances, design, retail spaces and more. In the early 2000's a CRI of 60 was common, however cu...

We are excited to announce the next generation of wearable lighting. Say hello to VynEL™, a specialized space age light that integrates into just about anything. VynEL™ can be heat bonded directly to fabrics, textiles, sporting goods, space travel, outdoor goods, safety gear and much, much more.   What is VynEL™?  VynEL™ is similar to EL Tape, but far more flexible, heat resistant, waterproof, and more. VynEL™ can be customized to be applied in numerous products and provides a safety element to practically anything it touches.  For more information on VynEL™, visit: Ellumiglow.com ::   VynEL™ - Specialized Lighting For Active Illumination

We are proud to announce the worldwide premier of Tinko: The World's First 5V Smart EL Inverter designed for wearables. What's so special about Tinko? First, Tinko is the first EL Inverter designed in Portland, Oregon and manufactured in the USA that is made for wearables. Thus having a small form factor, quiet, efficient, and made with quality components are all factors on why Tinko will soon be used in every EL Wearable in the near future. Second, Tinko is made far differently than most EL Inverters. Rather than using a giant inductor like most inverters, Ellumiglow's proprietary design allows for near silent operation, making it possible to install into jackets, hats, and other garments we hold close to our bodies. Third, because it runs at 5V and comes standard with a USB A-Type Connector, pairing Tinko with any number of cell phone charging batteries makes swapping power simple. Use Tinko for camping, running, hiking, snowboarding and much more, and never be wit...

Since the release of Laser Wire™ , there have been multiple questions regarding the appearance on camera. Typically EL Wire on camera shows up a bit lackluster as the brightness output of the EL Wire is not nearly strong enough for most video applications. Laser Wire being about 4x a bright with much more vibrancy does show up much better on both still along with video applications.

We are excited and proud to announce the world's first Laser Wire System called OpalDrive. A complete package for retail, trade shows, events, productions, wearables, safety and more. Laser Wire is a super thin (900um ~ 0.9mm) lighted wire that lights up 360° beautifully. If you are familiar with EL Wire, Laser Wire addresses each drawback of EL Wire and makes it better. It's thinner, brighter, more flexible, doesn't hold a memory, lighter, consumes less power, more vibrant colors, ability to integrate into wearables, fabrics, wood, metal, and more. The future of lighting is here, today. Check out some images below of the vibrancy of Laser Wire and how it can be used.
