We get the question often, what's the difference between Electroluminescent Wire and Laser Wire™? They're both accent lights, right? Well, that's about where the similarities stop. Let's dig into the differences here. We also created a quick video showing the differences side by side (below). EL Wire has been around since the early 2000s, and is a thin wire that is powder coated with the element of Phosphor. Specialized voltages and frequencies excite the particles inside, creating a beautiful glow. The inside is made up of a copper core wire, and small angel hair wires which create a positive and negative charge for the electrodes to pass through. EL Wire can be cut to nearly any length and can be bent to nearly any shape. Laser Wire™ systems on the other hand are using specialized optical fibers which transmit light down an extremely thin tube. The entire diameter of the wire is 0.9mm, and the lighted element inside is less than 0.2mm. That's about the size o...

We are excited to announce the beginning of a new era of LED Strip Lighting, including the addition of our Auralux line of high output RGB LEDs. The new Auralux 3535 RGB LED puts out a whopping 1320 Lumens per meter, with a narrow 110° beam angle. This makes it ideal for retail applications, stage performances, and more. Designers love these strip lights due to the rich colors the upgraded chip puts out. We put this video together as a side by side comparison to our already bright Auralux RGBW lights. For more information on RBG or RGBW lighting, or RGB LED Controllers , please contact info@ellumiglow.com.

Ellumiglow is proud to announce the partnership to distribute Lumilor EL Paint through its authorized channels. With a proprietary twist on EL Paint, Lumilor manufactures a specialty mixture which allows a multi-stage application process to add light to just about anything. ABOUT LUMILOR Lumilor, based out of Medina, Ohio is a company specializing in Electroluminescent coating applications. Back in 2009, founder Andy Zsinko, an aftermarket painter and the mastermind behind Lumilor was sharing a beer with his pals when he came across the realization that there had to be another way behind glow in the dark paint applications. With short lifespans and disappointing brightness, he knew there had to be a way of controlling lighting. Thus the start of Electroluminescent Paint. ABOUT EL PAINT Electroluminescent (or EL) Paint is exactly how it sounds. A paint based application that allows you to add light to nearly any material. Helmets, cars, bicycles, buildings... If you can dream it, ...

LED Video Walls are spectacular when used in retail environments, stage performances, and events, but the knowledge gap between them seems to be extraordinarily complex. From send and receive cards, to the video processor, and that's before you get to the actual videowall led . In this post, we hope to explain some of the working components of them to make understanding the process of LED Video Walls a little easier.  What To Look For In An LED Video Wall The main question we get when dealing with digital video displays is what spacing (we call it "Pitch") do you need between LED's? The rule of thumb we like to say is 1:1. 1mm spacing per 1m (~3ft) from your viewing distance. If it's a small retail display, the most common distance from viewing the display is probably 2-3M (6-10ft), or a pixel spacing of 2mm - 3mm. If your spacing is farther apart, the resolution will appear lower. If your spacing is more (closer together), you may not notice the additiona...
