EL Panels

EL panels (electroluminescent panels) provide uniform, surface-area lighting with a smooth and even glow, making them ideal for creative, decorative, and backlighting applications. Unlike point-source lighting, EL panels illuminate across their entire surface, which makes them well suited for signage, visual indicators, artistic displays, and wearable designs where consistent brightness is important.

Commonly used in DIY projects, wearables, instrumentation backlighting, and custom signage, EL panels are thin, lightweight, and flexible or semi-rigid depending on the design. They operate at low power using a compatible inverter and are available in various sizes, shapes, and colors, allowing designers and makers to integrate flat, glowing light surfaces into compact and visually striking projects with ease.
