Light Tape® International Installations Light Tape® Nike Event by Gallagher Designs USA Light Tape® was used to add the finishing lighting touches both above, in 1” wide and below on the plinth in 6”wide on the Nike products display stands shown in the pictures above and directly below. I’m sure you will agree that the effect proves more eye catching than the other displays featured at the trade event. The Light Tape adds a touch of finesse that is both in keeping with the clean, masculine, no nonsense Nike product arrangement on the stand whilst not overpowering the display. Light Tape Home Theatre Lighting by Finite Solutions Leeds UK Light Tape® was fitted at a relatively low level in a home cinema room, offering a dual purpose solution by providing added interest to the room design with the simple, yet effective use of light decoratively, whilst also providing a low cost visual aide that provides a non-invasive, non-glare source of edge lighting that can help prevent tripping while walking in the room in low light levels. Petrol Station Canopy Light Tape® Austria Once again Light Tape has put the finishing touch to a Petrol Station Canopy in Austria. Fitted with 1” wide in Extreme Rich Red colour, using the Snap-N-Light system, Light Tape® provides an outstanding alternative to Neon and Cold Cathode that is easy to fit, more economical to run and looks just great! Shush FM Nightclub LumaGrip stair lighting Light Tape UK When light is needed on a stair case usually the only source to be found is either on the ceiling or on the wall. Reasonable I guess, that’s where normally is. But, tripping happens mostly because the steps themselves can be thrown in to shadow by the very people walking up and down them. The solution….. LumaGrip. LumaGrip, shown here at the Shush FM Nightclub is fitted on to the tread of the stair in a standard stair nosing, Illuminated by Light Tape®, LumaGrip provides light that can be seen clearly from both the top and bottom of the stairs without glare and has an anti-slip surface for added safety, complying with Health and Safety regulations. Light Tape Edge Lit AcrylicLight Tape® Innovations USA Light Tape® can also be used to provide the light source on an Edge Lit Acrylic sign. Once fitted the effect is stunning with the lit design appearing to float within its acrylic frame. This offers a chic alternative to the usual Neon 1950’s style of lit signage. 2” Light Tape in Restaurant step edges USA Light Tape® is often used to provide a “different” kind of interior decoration. In the restaurant shown above, the 2” Light Tape® used is also fulfilling a practical function by highlighting the front edges of the steps leading from the main dining room to an elevated area. This not only addresses a possible trip hazard, but effectively adds an additional decorative element too. And, the beauty of using Light Tape® is that the running costs prove to be much less than that of other decorative lighting. Light Tape® bar under lighting What a fantastic effect! 1” natural blue Light Tape was fitted beneath the counter of the bar providing under lighting that creates a stunning effect, creating a stylish atmosphere with a fun element. Light Tape® Snap-N-Light Balcony Lighting Light Tape® Greece Add a simple line of light around the upper and lower edges of the balcony areas, as seen on these apartments, to add instant interest and definition. You can create the” sky scraper” effect and bring design ideas to life whilst producing an effect that is not over stated proving that less is defiantly more. Micro Branding Light Tape® Singapore Promote your company/product/brand or service easily and with a dash of panache using Micro Branding. 2” Light Tape is used to back light a printed clear vinyl. The two products are fed into a casing that is fixed around the top edge of a “poser “table. The information displayed can then be shown lit on steady or flash setting and is powered using a rechargeable long life battery. This offers an alternative, ideal solution for promotional stands and events. Get your message across and noticed with the Light Tape Micro Branding effect. Light Tape Infinity Mirrors Light Tape® Greece Not just a mirror, these are almost pieces of art. The infinity mirrors featured here have Light Tape® integrated into their design which has transformed them in to eye catching, design features using light in a new and exciting way that will create an instant ice breaker at any gathering. Truly unusual and visually stunning. Kitchen Plinth Lighting Plinth lighting in the kitchen is fast becoming as popular as under wall unit lighting and it’s easy to see why. Using just ½” wide Light Tape® the light reflects off the floor of the room producing a truly unusual and visually stunning addition, to the more traditional wall and ceiling lighting. Kitchen Mood Lighting Now this is what I call different! What a truly spectacular effect. Warm and cosy yet very, very modern with a futuristic mix of the Light Tape® above and below the cupboards. Light Tape® Bar Edge Lighting Light Tape ® South Africa Light Tape® is used here to add a touch of light to the inner edge of a bar counter using 1” natural blue tape. The general effect fits right in with the fun, design of this ultra modern bar, complimenting the design with a final flourish of lit colour that matches the recessed design at the back of the bar perfectly. Celldwelller Klayton Light Tape® And finally: Light Tape® provides the perfect lighting effect here when used to highlight the drum kit and frame the set for up and coming artist Calldweller Klayton. The lighting effect creates a very atmospheric stage setting that has great appeal. What is Light Tape®?

Light Tape® uses less than one twentieth of the power and is half the price of Neon and Cold Cathode display lighting, it is flexible, easier to install and maintain, reduces light pollution, produces no waste heat or infrared light and is fully recyclable, uses No Gas, No Glass and No Mercury.

12:grn:hrs - design a green car in a day! Morning Session

2011-10-02T02:13:00.001-07:00

Hannah Macmurray | 30 September 2011

Design is becoming more social. Co-creation is disrupting the traditional design process and relationships between designer and manufacturer are changing as a result. In this time of movement there is one industry that still finds it difficult to adapt and react to social changes - the automotive industry. Partly due to consumer’s conservative demands and expectations on one side and the industry’s insular status quo on the other car design often finds itself stuck in the middle. The recent Frankfurt Motor Show was a clear example, designs were erratic and concepts were incoherent; you just need to take one look at the Mercedes F125 concept to get whats going on!

In light of this lack of direction and in order to encourage ecologically motivated design Green Car Design, the online eco-design car magazine, held a 12-hour workshop, 12:grn:hrs – design a green car in a day! where the consumer and the industry met to design a truly unique green car design concept. The event coincided with the ever growing and influential London Design Festival 2011 to highlight the need to look outside the automotive design box. TheCovent Garden location of the Design Council offered participants immediate access to one of London’s best social and artistic hubs with Soho and Neil’s Yard minutes away plus the added benefit of London Design Festival events.

Eco Motivators

The morning started off with an open Morning Session of speakers from different industries with a focus on green materials and services. Kenny Schachter, writer, curator, and art dealer, set the tone with his keynote speech. Clearly not from the automotive industry yet passionate about cars his words ideally opened the door for creativity. “Facebook changed the way we communicate and thePrius changed the way we consider cars; the sky is the limit as to what’s next so better we try and keep it less polluted” he surmised “…Personally, I don’t differentiate between a painting, sculpture, chair, spoon or a 70’s Porsche; whether a van Gogh, Picasso, or a vehicle, it’s a holistic notion of a lifestyle. We all want to live longer, cleaner and more efficiently and cars are a good place to start to clean things up. There is a lot of making up to do, [but] cars are the most ubiquitous form of design in society; as my friend Sam Livingstone, a consultant and tutor at Royal College where I lecture on occasion, said, we see more than 2,000 of them a day. So I say, why not make them nice, or at least nicer. Cars will be more and more efficient not only because they have to be but also because they can. And not just in the near future but now.” (you can view full speech here).

Dr. Siavash Mahdavi from Within Lab

Schachter’s speech was then followed by Dr. Siavash Mahdavi from Within Lab, 3D Printing experts and manufacturers. To say that the audience was blown away with this technology is an understatement, everyone in the room sensed that our futures will change dramatically due to 3D Printing. Not only does it solve huge issues about waste because it can reduce the use of material by over 80% but also because it makes transporting masses of material, namely metals, from location to location redundant. Dr. Mahdavi explained different uses for the process, amongst them porous finger implants made out of cobalt chrome or titanium that encourage bone in-growth (osseointegration) and a lightweight load bearing engine block built with a liquid lattice design where the software removed any excess material by building it inside out and maintaining function and performance with a lattice structure. In passing samples around the room brains were already warming up for the task ahead…imagine reducing the weight of your car by 80%!

Iain Taylor from Sage Automotive Interiors

Next up was Iain Taylor, Design and Development Director for Sage Automotive Interiors. Not only does his company strive to be sustainable but he has also personally taken to lightening his own carbon footprint where he can…and loving his Prius! The main idea that Taylor resounded was that design should Design for Disassembly. This means that when considering the design of a vehicle the designer and company should not only think about materials in terms of recycled and recyclable but also how those materials are disassembled at the end of use. Currently the metal and glass components in cars can be recycled at the end of life but there always remains a huge amount of ‘fluff’ from seating and other interior parts. If seats could be designed with zipped on covers or foam could ‘unglue’ itself from fabric after use then he feels this could help our environment immensely...simple.

Mike Hardcastle from Light Tape UK

The topic of light and lightness was essential to the next speaker MikeHardcastle’s work as Managing Director of Light Tape UK. Despite its many uses Light Tape is probably most widely known from its extensive use in the recent movie Tron Legacy. Hardcastle says that one of his most popular selling items is the Tron costume pack which they will be upgrading with a smaller battery pack! But entertainment aside this product has serious applications in the automotive industry, specially in eco cars that are looking to economise on weight and energy use. With a profile of less than 0.7mm thick, consumption rate of 1watt/1meter/1 inch of material, and recyclable qualities Light Tape is set to become a viable lighting alternative for the automotive industry. WhereLEDs drain the battery Light Tape can be powered by the simplest of solar panels with energy to spare. The portability of the material was an instantaneous hit with the audience as brains were flexing about its possible use in the upcoming design challenge.

Sue Connelly from Camira Fabrics

Camira Fabrics was invited to show their wonderful fabrics made from mother nature itself, and presenting was Sue Connelly, Corporate Sales Manager. Nettles seem like a strange plant from which to harvest fabric but in fact they can be harvested locally, in Camira’s case in Leicestershire, and the bast fibrethat is contained within the stem can be blended with wool into yarn. The resulting fabric has been appropriately called Sting, Sustainable Technology in Nettle Growing. Another fabric Connelly showed is known as Hemp, Higher Environmental Manufacturing Protocol, and whilst the name is a mouthful the fabric is simply manufactured in the same way as Sting but from Hemp plants. Their revolutionary fabric derived from recycling Starbuck’s jute bags and re-purposed with wool to create WoJo, the fabric that now covers many seats in Starbuck’s coffee shops, exemplifies Camira’s commitment to style with substance.

Micol Costi and Claudia Reder from Material ConneXion

Material ConneXion is an enviable fountain of information in a one-stop format, a library of materials sourced worldwide. Micol Costi, Director of Library and Materials Reasearch, and Claudia Reder, Senior Materials Specialist, both opened up a window of possibilities on a number of uses from their stock of innovative and sustainable materials. Materials ranged from the exotic like rotten carrots in the form of CURRAN® that offers properties close or better than those found in carbon fibre composites to the natural like AGRIPLAST®, an injection moulding granulate made from slightly less than 50% field grass. With growing concern about the use of food crops being used as building materials or alternative fuels it was very interesting to learn of pebax® Rnew, a high-performance, bio-based elastomer. It is made from up to 95% plant-based Castor oil, a non-food based oil usually used as an engineering oil. It is one of the lightest elastomers, is durable, recyclable, and can be injection-moulded, overmoulded, extruded into films and sheets as well as being pigmented in any colour. Used in consumer products, sports equipment, and footwear the Castor bean never looked so good!

Sebastien Stassin from Kiska

Last to speak in the Morning Session was Sebastien Stassin, Partner atKiska. Kiska is a unique design consultancy in Austria that most recently were asked by Opel to design a unqiue 3-wheeled concept for the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011 called Rak-e. The Rak-e highlights one of Kiska’s trump cards in the development and design of eco-vehicles. Whilst the automotive industry battles and stagnates with safety and legislation issues about 4-wheeled passenger cars Kiska looked at the problem in another way. What if we considered vehicles that only had 3 wheels? And sure enough the law and restrictions that inhibit change and development in the 4-wheeled arena do not exist for the 3-wheeled. With today’s technologies and materials it is entirely possible to develop light, safe, and awesome looking vehicles that respect the environment now instead of waiting for bureaucratic minds to change...brilliant!

Lunch beckoned at this point but before then teams needed to be created for the task of designing a green car in what was left of the day. Teams led by car designers Sebastien Stassin (Kiska), David Wilkie (Mia-Electric), HugoSpowers (Riversimple), and Giovanni Piccardo we asked to blindly pick out team-mate names from out of a box. Each team member was then asked to in turn blindly chose one word out of a box of automotive cliché design words that had been mixed in with cliché green words. From these each team had to chose at least 3 words by which their design would be guided…surprise, laughs, and delight filled everyone’s faces. After a lunch session getting to know each other and finding a team name the clock started on their mission to design a green car in a day!

Story continues in Part 2 of 12:grn:hrs – design a green car in a day!

The Light Tape® Battery Backup Emergency Lighting System

2011-08-07T13:55:00.001-07:00

The Light Tape® Battery Backup Emergency Lighting System was originally designed and produced by Lister Electrical of York, and installed at The National Trust's Nunnington Hall in North Yorkshire. The system is designed to provide a battery backup to operate Light Tape® as an Emergency Egress Light in case of mains power failure.

Light Tape® Battery Backup Emergency Lighting System includes a mains input to a 12V transformer, which in turn runs a trickle charging unit attached to a 12V 4Ah backup battery.

In application should the mains power be cut off a relay switch immediately connects power from the backup battery to the Light Tape® DC Power Supply to drive the Light Tape®, providing sufficient light to exit the building avoiding trip hazards in the event of an emergency.

http://lighttapeuk.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/national-trust-light-tape-nunnington-hall-emergency-lighting-case-study.pdf

The backup system also features an override switch that can be used to operate the Light Tape® directly from the 12V transformer providing ancillary lighting.

In tests, the 12V 4Ah battery drove 5m of 25mm (1″) Light Tape® for 12 hours without needing to be recharged.

From ordinary to extraordinary – USA You add sparkle to any special occasion with Light Tape®. Here we have just one way of using light to enhance the ordinary and create something really special. You can let your creative streak run wild and shine through! And with our DC power supplies, it's easy to light up small areas with no mobility restrictions! Museum Floor lighting - Germany This is another example of Light Tape® being used to provide direction. The picture shows Light Tape® affixed on the floor of a room in a museum. The lines leading off the central trunk of the design provide unique visual direction to the various displays within the room using light and colour as apposed to merely having the more traditionally used sign posting system. University of California San Diego steps - USA Here we have an example of Light Tape® being used to edge light steps at the San Diego campus of the University of California. Half Classic Media White Light Tape® strips in polycarbonate outdoor mounting extrusion were mounted into routed channels on the cement steps. The overall effect is visually pleasing, offers safety from tripping and does not produce glare or effect night vision. An alternative way to light stairways - USA Light Tape® can be used in more than one way to achieve the same objective as in this case where the aim is to light a staircase. Light Tape® is inset on both sides of the hand rail, either side of the stairs to achieve attractive luminous safety lighting that’s just a little different, that costs little to run. Accent outdoor areas - Caribbean If you want to add a dash of colour and light to an indoor or outdoor area to create a mood or emphasize a barrier/screen then Light Tape® is perfect for doing just that. Outdoor venues can benefit greatly from strategically placed lighting that will not detract from the main décor but add an air of sophistication rather than over decoration. 2" Extreme Blue-Green Light Tape® was used to accent around an exterior dining area at Marshall's Restaurant and Steakhouse in St. Kitts/Nevis; supplied and installed by International Purchasing Associates. Marine Walking Path - Mexico Light Tape® is an ideal lighting solution for use on all marine vessels as it offers the perfect solution to illuminating areas in which safety is a concern. It will provide a sustained lighting source during periods of poor visibility. Light Tape® is non bulky and non intrusive. It can lay flat against vertical surfaces on walkways and will not dazzle or effect night vision. Light Tape® also provides a solution with low power consumption and will not drain precious battery power and so also provides lighting with ultra low running costs and safety peace of mind. Holiday Inn Presentation Stage - UK Use Light Tape® to make sure that your presentation stand is centre stage at any promotional event! Here, Scena Projects used Light Tape® to create a stage for Holiday Inn presentations. Clean lines, great design and a stylish layout provide an eye catching, ultra modern stage set ready to sell a forward looking, progressive image. Light Tape® Shelf edge lighting - UK In retail Light Tape® can be used to add that something extra to acrylic shelving to set the display apart from all the rest. The shelving shown above, produced by Earlsmann, is lit using ¼” Light Tape® on the back of each shelf. The resulting light and colour floods through the acrylic to create an edge lighting that can be soft and subtle or more vibrant and eye catching. Light Tape® in the home The following three pictures show how Light Tape® can be used around the home to add light, colour and interest to most rooms with little effort and once again, low running cost………… In the games room - Canada This is another way of adding light to a room using Light Tape® in an imaginative way. Not only is the overall effect striking but it gives the room a very different feel to that obtained when using other accent lighting. Fresh, clean and ultra modern. Marble tile inset shelving - UK Light Tape® is used here to brighten up marble tile inset shelving. The under lighting Acrylic Shelf Edge Lighting can be applied anywhere discreetly to great effect. Safety work wear - Spain Reflective strips on high visibility jackets and clothing are useful in providing some protection for workers who work at night or in low visibility weather, but the material relies on its interaction with external and/or environmental light to be effective. Light Tape® can be used as an extra safety feature on safety clothing as even in dark, misty conditions the wearer would be seen when the Light Tape® strip was lit. Light Tape® offers added visual safety to anyone who works at night and in all weather conditions. If you are directing traffic at night or performing other nightly duties you will be seen when wearing a jacket or vest which incorporates Light Tape® in its composition. You can be seen! Make your logo stand out In a world that is full of distractions, you want your logo to have a definite impact. Don’t limit your design to what is possible with traditional light boxes, create any shape and put it virtually anywhere. Light Tape® animations are available to truly bring your logo to life, offering something different and exciting.

Light Tape UK: LumaGrip™ a Step Change in Anti-Slip, Illuminated Nosings

LumaGrip™ a Step Change in Anti-Slip, Illuminated Nosings

2010-03-14T09:40:00.000-07:00

Illuminated stair nosings have been available for many years using LEDs but they have always been bulky, complicated, high maintenance and expensive. LumaGrip™ is set to change this with a range of illuminated inserts that replace existing infill in standard Aluminium and uPVC nosings. LumaGrip™ also comes with the added benefits of having a higher anti-slip rating and a glare free illumination.

Standard illuminated nosings using LEDs have, due to their size, been limited to the front of the nosing on the face of the riser which means they can be seen only when going up the stairs. The LEDs have to be bright enough to illuminate the lower tread the resulting glare can prove visually distracting and possibly even a safety hazard.

LumaGrip™ uses Light Tape’s patented Electroluminescent technology combined with a transparent, anti slip 50mm wide tread that is illuminated without glare and can be seen when going both up and down the stairs.

See LumaGrip™ at Light+Building in Frankfurt from 11th to 16th April 2010 Hall 4.2 K60

LumaGrip™ Illuminated Anti-Slip inserts have been developed to fit into standard Aluminium and uPVC profiles, timber stairs and decking. In addition to illuminating dark stair wells LumaGrip™ can be used to highlight changes in floor level and potential trip hazards in Bars, Nightclubs, Theatres and Cinemas.

LumaGrip™ is available in a variety of sizes with either 6mm and 12mm Light Tape® illuminated strips for both indoor and outdoor applications in a variety of Light Tape® colours.

LumaGrip™ connections are embedded in an ip68 rated resin making the connections waterproof for outdoor use.

LumaGrip™ is expected to retail in the UK at £35.00 to £50.00 per linear meter dependent on configuration.

LumaGrip™ driven by Light Tape®.

World Wide Light Tape® Installations

2010-01-29T12:09:00.000-08:00

World Wide Light Tape® Installations

We have taken some of the best most imaginative applications from around the world to show the many applications and wide appeal of this amazing lighting product.

Custom compass – Florida, USA

Lazar Yachts, based in the USA, commissioned this detailed custom made compass design inlay into an onyx floor. A large sheet of Light Tape® is placed under the beautiful compass design within the flooring. The actual design also is made up of inlaid onyx pieces too and the overall effect is stunning when lit.

Onyx flooring on yachts – Florida, USA

Light Tape® and Lazar Yachts worked together to create this custom backlit onyx floor. Once again shown to great effect is the use of Light Tape® when placed under a stunning onyx floor. The finished lit effect is quite breath taking.

Backlit counters on your yacht – Florida, USA

Backlight the counter tops in your restrooms or kitchen on your new yacht. Shown here: onyx back lit with Classic Media White - Lazar Yachts. The wash basin and floor have had Light Tape inlaid under the onyx surfaces creating a dazzlingly eye catching finish to this on board bathroom.

Storefront lighting - Greece

Give your shop front a facelift. Accent it with a Light Tape® colour that compliments your logo or shop colours. Crisp modern lines, vivid, bright colours; be creative, draw in the crowds. Get your shop noticed from down the road; invite curiosity and set the stage for your very own sales bonanza.

Wall accents

Dominican Republic

London UK

Illuminate plain internal walls or external facades with Light Tape® strips or cut outs, and create a lively atmosphere at the flick of a switch. Create a modern, sophisticated, artistic statement, in entrances, as a centre piece in a room or on an external façade, by simply arranging Light Tape® in strips or patterns for something completely different and inventive.

Perfect for TV sets - Singapore

Light Tape® is perfect for the event industry as it produces consistent light from end to end and, does not give off a glare when filmed or photographed. Amazing results that create an impression and set the scene are easily produced using Light Tape® as seen on this stage set in Singapore. 2" Classic Yellow was used to create this effect.

Essence Awards 2009 - New Orleans, USA

Light Tape® collaborated with Display Supply and Lighting and Mardi Gras Productions to create the VIP lounge at the 2009 Essence Awards at the Superdome in New Orleans. This simple, futuristic room design was created by contrasting the clean lines of the Light Tape® and the chunky soft furnishings against the silky smooth chocolate overtones of the dark oak walls and floor. 1" Classic Media White was used to create geometric designs throughout the lounge.

Illuminate Yaletown - Canada

Strips of Light Tape® were used to create a ball shape to uniquely light up this walkway as part of a winter party called Illuminate Yaletown in Vancouver, Canada. Though simple in design the Light Tape® balls proved a hit for using light in a new and innovative way. The picture shows the effects captured on camera of the balls twirling on their wire.

Scooter Lighting – South Africa

From South Africa we have a safety feature that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the scooter it is featured on, accenting the frame and letting people know that you’re there. 1/2" Natural Blue Light Tape® was used to create this effect.

Creative awning illumination - South Africa

To add interest and artistic flair to this building, Light Tape® was incorporated to enhance the design of the awning, bringing the structure to life and creating this ethereal look. 2" Extreme Blue-Green Light Tape® was used integrated with the Snap-N-Light™ solution.

Light Tape® - Evolution in Light

2009-11-21T11:07:00.000-08:00

Light Tape® has been used once again to create a unique display, this time on the external walls of the Darwin building on Darwin Walk, at University College London.

The display features the words “Darwin Walk” in Morse code, with all the “dots” and “dashes” being made from Light Tape® in its “Cut out Shapes” form. The attached photographs show the display at night and, even with the ambient lighting from the windows and other light sources the Light Tape® shapes certainly do the job of providing a bright and colourful finishing touch to this newly renovated walk way.

This particular project required the energy saving Light Tape® product to be presented in the form of “cut outs”, where all the pieces were custom cut from Light Tape® Extreme Series electroluminescent panels as required and encapsulated in a Honeywell Clarus film. The figures In this case, were 300mm circles, “dots” and 300mm x up to 2m lengths, “dashes”. Each “cut out” was fitted with a heavy duty 3M Resin Sealed IP68 Rated Connector including wire, ready for installation.

Vibramount adhesive strip was applied, in turn, to each of the prepared chosen sights for the installation of the shapes; which were then individually positioned on to the vibramount and sealed into place under, sized, clear polycarbonate sheeting then screwed to the receiving wall, providing additional protection of the Light Tape® shapes from the elements. Once fitted in to place all of the shapes were wired back to the mains supply through channelling fixed across the top of buildings wall via two Light Tape® Smart Driver™ power units. The lighting is controlled by a photocell further ensuring sensible power usage.

It is fair to say that had the shapes been supplied using the traditional form of signage, florescent display boxes, the end results would have proved bulkier at around 75mm thick as opposed to 6mm using the Light Tape® alternative. The light tubes would have been visible through the front of the sign even through the coloured plastic covering, causing the light distribution to be uneven and creating uneven colour, so aesthetically the overall effect would have been much less pleasing and the display would have been easily damageable. The maintenance costs would also be higher and the ongoing power consumption would be at least 20 times greater (this estimate is conservative).

The design of the Light Tape® display at Darwin Walk was done by Max Fordham Consulting Engineers, the installation was carried out by Chilton Electrical, both based in the London area and the main contractor of the renovation was Blakedown Landscapes based in Surrey.

Why is Light Tape® Unique?

2009-11-01T05:37:00.000-08:00

Combine Electro-LuminX's patented technology and manufacturing processes with the best materials available and you get Light Tape® Lamps.

We utilize SYLVANIA's premium quality light emitting phosphors and Honeywell's Encapsulation Systems to guarantee that we deliver the highest quality lamp possible to our customers.

Go to: http://www.lighttape.co.uk/

Light Tape® lamps are changing the way people think of a light bulb. Imagine a light bulb as thin as a credit card, in any color, that you can bend around any surface, for hundreds of meters, indoors or outdoors, that costs only a fraction of what traditional bulbs cost to operate.

In fact, it is the most important innovation in light since the invention of the bulb.

For more information on Light Tape® e-mail: info@lighttape.co.uk or call on: 08456 170 697.

Light Tape® uses less than one tenth of the power and is one third of the price of Neon and Cold Cathode display lighting, it is flexible, easier to install and maintain, reduces light pollution, produces no waste heat or infrared light, is fully recyclable, uses No Gas, No Glass and No Mercury.

Why are Light Tape® Lamps so Revolutionary?

Light Tape® is the most energy efficient and versatile light bulb ever developed! Light Tape® Lamps and animated signs are at the leading edge of global quality, reliability and service standards.

INCREDIBLE ENERGY SAVINGS One hundred meters of standard 1" Light Tape® lamp consumes less than a 100 watt light bulb! Light Tape® is the most energy efficient form of lighting available today. Typical energy consumption is less than 0.25 ma / sq. in.

UNIFORM SURFACE LIGHTING Light Tape® backlighting systems uniformly backlight onyx, engineered materials and signage. Fits in almost any space at less than 0.02" thick! No more hot or dark spots and does not generate heat.

THINNER THAN A CREDIT CARD Put Light Tape® just about anywhere in your next design, literally. Flat and emits no heat, you can fit it into about any spot! Allows for elegant installations, see the light, not the bulb.

OUTDOOR FRIENDLY We have engineered Light Tape® to work outside as well as inside. A logical replacement for traditional neon or other accent lighting. Quick, easy, do it yourself! Try our Snap-N-Light systems.

LASTS FOR YEARS, NO MAINTENANCE Light Tape® Systems last for years with virtually no maintenance required while providing low energy operation. No more emergency calls to your repair man because part or all of your lights went out last night!

MODERN HIGH-TECH LOOK A very clean, crisp and modern look that is visible for miles with a laser like appearance. Utilize this cutting edge technology to differentiate you from single point light source systems. Go with the cool glow.

EXTREMELY LIGHT WEIGHT Light Tape® weighs less than a 1/4 pound per square foot. Great option to have when weight is an issue and supporting a light is difficult.

LONG RUNS, ONLY ONE CONNECTION! Imagine a single 100 meter run of Light Tape® powered by a single power supply and connected only at one end. And, the brightness will not vary over the length of the lamp. Accent your venue in a matter of minutes with just one connection!

EASY TO INSTALL, COMES IN ROLLS! Light Tape® systems are available in custom lengths as well as by the roll. Flexible enough to wrap around corners or uneven surfaces, just connect and run. For indoor installations, simply use a clear overlay or double sided tape. Or try our outdoor mounting systems for exterior applications.

EXTREMELY DURABLE, CUT IT WITH SCISSORS! Light Tape® does not contain glass, gas or have any filaments to break, it will not fail catastrophically. Designed to withstand high impact or pressure, not abrasion, for that you need PolyLight-Flex™ which provides a waterproof, flexible protective jacket for industrial strength Light Tape®.

SAFE ALTERNATIVE, NO MORE GLASS! Our Light Tape® technology is basically a flat flexible plastic lamp that does not contain gasses, filaments, mercury or glass. It is extremely visible through smoke yet does not produce a glare. Cool to touch and meets CE & UL as well as other agency safety requirements.

LOVES TO DANCE, FLASH IT, DIM IT! Unlike fiber optics, Light Tape® loves to be flashed. Instantly turn on and off the Light Tape® for a stunning effect. Flashing will not only enhance many applications but will significantly extend its life.

QUALITY Electro-LuminX manufactures Light Tape® in the US to ensure optimal quality standards. After 12 years of engineering and development, we have stable and repeatable process to ensure world class quality. The lamp and processes are patent protected and manufacturing is controlled by ISO9001:2000 processes.

EASY TO INSTALL, COMES IN ROLLS!
Light Tape® systems are available in custom lengths as well as by the roll. Flexible enough to wrap around corners or uneven surfaces, just connect and run. For indoor installations, simply use a clear overlay or double sided tape. Or try our outdoor mounting systems for exterior applications.

EXTREMELY DURABLE, CUT IT WITH SCISSORS!
Light Tape® does not contain glass, gas or have any filaments to break, it will not fail catastrophically. Designed to withstand high impact or pressure, not abrasion.

SAFE ALTERNATIVE, NO MORE GLASS!
Our Light Tape® technology is basically a flat flexible plastic lamp that does not contain gasses, filaments, mercury or glass. It is extremely visible through smoke yet does not produce a glare. Cool to touch and meets UL as well as other agency safety requirements.

LOVES TO DANCE, FLASH IT, DIM IT!
Unlike fiber optics, Light Tape® loves to be flashed. Instantly turn on and off the Light Tape® for a stunning effect. Flashing will not only enhance many applications but will significantly extend its life.
