CeeLite™'s LEC technology
CeeLite™ LEC technology comprises 3 critical components
- CeeLite™ LEC panels encompass proprietary shielded 3 wire panels, combined with OSRAM SYLVANIA higher quality phosphors to provide outstanding colour and brightness.
- CeeLite™’s advanced proprietary programmable Flatline Inverters to control levels of brightness and lifetime.
- Innovative encapsulation technology for low to no heat generation that extends the life of the lighting.
Compared to early stage and standard electroluminescent (EL) products, CeeLite’s based commercial quality lighting offers vastly superior reliability, brightness and long life.
Specifications
Energy consumption:
CeeLite™ panels uses low amount of energy, power consumption is approximately 9.6 milliwatts per cm2. CeeLite™ panels also give off little to no heat, unlike traditional sources such as incandescent, neon and fluorescent lighting.
CeeLite™ panels can be powered to light up from 50cd/m2 to as bright as 200cd/m2, 300cd/m2 to 600cd/m2 is available in custom orders.
Life expectancy
Life expectancy of CeeLite™ panels depends on the operating environment, mode and brightness level of the panel. The life of the panels ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 operating hours.
