Yes. Google "electroluminescent sheet". I live in the UK, so my sources would be no good to you.

Hello.

I want to make light sheet because of PIV production. So I want to know the exact size, thickness and all details of light sheet.
I think it requires high power and flow visualisation.
Give best suggestion as soon as possible.

It looks like the experimenter's kits from Miller Engineering runs off of a 4.5V power supply.

I want to use a 9V power supply to run a 555 blinking light circuit and power multiple LEDs for a starship lighting project.

Is there a way of stepping down the current so that only one wall wart can be used?

I've read something about a zener diode, but I don't know how these would be used.

Thanks in advance,

Actually 4.5 volts runs LED and 555 timers circuits and its parts pretty well and fairly still bright. I dont' want to use more than 5 volts nowadays

That's why I use Millers EL experimenter sheets in my star ships. Operating voltages that low all overall runs cool...and looks cool.
