Manufactured and distributed exclusively by Was Light (69), the electroluminescent adhesive gives life to visuals.

Dazzling features

Consisting of a electroluminescent phosphor sheet this new adhesive substrate is less than 1 mm thick, light, flexible and easy to apply. It can be installed on surfaces where no other lighting technology is possible. With an autonomy of 20,000 hours of flashing, it consumes 2 to 3 times less energy than LED power supply.

The adhesive Was Light diffuses a soft and uniform light without generating flicker or halo. It is therefore not included in the regulations on light pollution, unlike LED or neon.

A technology from the military

originally, this electroluminescent marking technology was developed by the US Army to signal landing strips on aircraft carriers. Then in 2014, the creators of Was Light took over the patent and adapted the media for use in the signage market. Today, the company also offers training sessions in the installation of this adhesive, allowing to acquire this exclusive know-how.
