·Electroluminescence
is the direct conversion of electricity
to light.
-Electroluminescence is cool light, unlike incandescent
lamps where light is generated
by heating a filament to high temperatures.
-The heat from the lamps barely increase by 1° C above ambient
temperature.
·Solid state
lighting.
-Unlike incandescent lighting there is no filament and
therefore no critical
failure. Light output decays with
age.
-EL lamps are probably the most rugged lighting
technology available.
·A promising
future
-Thanks to recent advances in electronics and materials chemistry, EL lamps have re-emerged as an innovative and
exciting lighting technique.
