Or, as it just dawned on me, are you wanting glow-in-the-dark panels? Photoluminescence covers materials they glow after being exposed to light. Electoluminescence are materials that glow when electricity is applied. No, I am talking about electrically powered luminescent panels, not the ones that ...

Any particular reason to choose that type of lighting? Granted, its a very even and uniform type of light but its not that bright, requires high voltage, and has a shorter lifespan than LEDs. What lifespan do they have....I had plans to use some....thx Typically about 80 hours IIRC They advertise 1...

I want to use electroluminescent panels to light the cockpit instrument panels of the millennium falcon. The instrument light are for status indication, not illumination, so they should be fairly subdued and without glare. LEDs or LED powered fiber optics are too bright.

can anyone point me to a tutorial on choosing and installing photo-luminescent panels?

Thanks in advance

I have done a lighting for ship models before. I used about 200 LEDs that were powere by an external 9V power source that plugs into the ship under the keel. I am thinking about using onboard rechargeable batteries to light 1/72 millennium falcon. I am wonder where one could get the sort of electron...

What it the best LED lighting kit for refit enterprise? I intend to add several circuits of my own, so I would need whichever kit I use to be able to support additional circuits for lights and sound features. Also, I prefer to have the option to use either 9V DC input from a transformer via and RCA ...

I am planning to build a 1/350 polar light refit enterprise with lighting. I am doing some early stage planning. Not having had too much experience, I have some question that I need some help with answering. I am planning for the lighting to consist of the following circuits: Circuit 1. Normal white...
