I stumbled onto this yesterday Ceelite
they call it a light emitting capacitor or LEC.
After a little searching i found this flatlite they call it Electroluminescent or EL panels.
Im a bit confused since they seem like the same thing to me but the LEC is marketed as a new technology whereas EL is much older technology.
Ceelite panels light intensity is between 50 cd/m and 300 cd/m
Flatlite panels light intensity is between 18 and 22 footlamberts for the white ones
can cd/m be converted to footlamberts for a proper comparison.
also ceelite advertise a longer life but does not state the actual number of hours while flatlite lifetime is between 2,500 and 20,000 hours.
are these two products the same thing with different names ? or they are actully different in some way ?
the reason why im asking these questions is that white panels can be very useful for shop signage and bilboards but the expected lifetime is a concern. paying around $2,000 for a shop sign which fails after 1 year is not exactly a good thing.
