EL Wires: Technical embroidery makes smart textiles shine
EL Wires (electroluminescent cables), also known as EL cables or luminous cords, are versatile and fascinating lighting elements that can be installed using our innovative embroidery process. These special cables consist of a flexible wire coated with a special electroluminescent layer.
When an alternating voltage is applied to the EL Wire, the electroluminescent layer produces a uniform, soft glow that runs along the cable. This glow can be controlled in different colors and intensities to create an impressive visual effect.
Advantages of EL Wires
✔ Flexibility and adaptability: EL Wires are extremely flexible and can be bent or stitched into almost any desired shape. This enables creative integration into a wide variety of projects and designs.
✔ Energy efficiency: EL cables are extremely energy efficient and produce a bright glow with low energy consumption. This makes them ideal for battery-powered applications.
✔ Durability: EL cables are robust and durable. They can be repeatedly bent and stretched without affecting their performance.
✔ Safety: Compared to conventional light bulbs or LEDs, EL cables do not produce warm light and do not get hot. They are therefore safer to handle.
Application examples for EL Wires
