What is VynEL™ Lighting?

VynEL™ has a similar look to an EL Panel, but is more flexible, durable, easier to integrate, and even brighter. When comparing VynEL™ lighting to a traditional flat electroluminescent structure, VynEL™ can actually glow from both sides, whereas a common EL Panel or EL Tape will only illuminate on the top surface. This can be a neat feature when adding light to say, a pocket, so not only can it illuminate on the outside, but also allows you to see inside your pocket! Using high grade nano-technologies, VynEL™ lighting makes it possible to integrate light into countless applications like wearables. VynEL™ is the perfect solution because it will take the shape of the fabrics used and is vastly more flexible than a standard EL Panel. It can be heat bonded into textiles making it a perfect choice for safety gear, athletic wear, outdoor products, tradeshow exhibits, costuming, footwear, lingerie and more. It's even machine washable, so it can be used in garments that need regular maintenance. In short, VynEL™ lighting provides active illumination that achieves new safety standards for construction, athletic, military, first responders, emergency services and more.  

What are the different variations of VynEL™ Lights? 

We have quite a few derivatives of the VynEL™ product line like the VynEL™ Decal, HD, Flow, Cling, and Splash. The Decal line of products is most suitable for backlighting applications and can be made with or without an adhesive (front or back), and is made similar to screen printing T-shirts. This allows us to customize much of the panel, which can be die stamped, including holes, logos, etc. This product is most used for advertising purposes, automotive backlighting, vision systems, etc. The HD Line is our most popular line and is a "jack of all trades" type product. It's very water resistant, flexible, heat bondable, and easy to integrate. It has a neat texture and suitable for product integration, apparel, sporting goods, and much more. The Flow line is our newest derivative and meant for apparel and more performance type applications. It has similar properties to the HD, but with more flex, and a little bit of stretch. The Cling line is made similar to how automotive wraps are made, so it also contains a bit of stretch to it, but suitable for advertising purposes on 3-Dimensional objects like cars, planes, safety and emergency vehicles, etc. The Splash line is a more waterproof solution than our HD material, and allows for integration in submersible applications like life-jackets, and marine applications.
