About Us
Listen to a public radio feature story about our LECD technology.
After four years of research and substantial funding in the last two years by the US Department of Energy (DOE) (Cooperative agreement DE-FC26-99-FT40631), and support from the Nick J. Rahall, II Appalachian Transportation Institutde, Alfred University, Marshall University and the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing, ultra-energy efficient Solid State ElectoCeramescent Lighting is now available.
For use in most sign applications, including photovoltaic (solar power) operation, Solid State ElectroCeramescent Lighting offers greater benefits and savings than any conventional lighting technologies in current use.
ElectroCeramescent lighting is the latest breakthrough in solid state lighting technology. It offers cold, thin, durable and energy efficient lighting with the ultimate in versatility for all indirect and backlit applications. ElectroCeramescent panels also eliminate concerns relating to costly maintenance, high operating costs, structural design limitations, unsightly 'hot spots', adverse operating environments and constrictive space requirements.
ElectroCeramescent lamps are literally sheets of flat, treated steel, which emit a unique and highly conspicuous type of illumination when energized. These lamp panels do not utilize filaments, glass tubes, fragile components, or gas in their construction; thereby offering the maximum in durability and zero maintenance throughout their extraordinary lamp lives.
What really distinguishes ElectroCeramescent panels from traditional lighting is most conventional lamps obtain their light as a byproduct of electricity being converted into heat at a single point-source. By comparison, ElectroCeramescent lamps generate light through a direct energy-to-light conversion process--a process in which virtually no heat is generated, an evenly lit area is produced and virtually all energy is efficiently used.
The ultimate in solid-state, low-profile back lighting, ElectroCeramescent lamps can be easily tailored to any design requirement. Their steel construction allows the ultimate versatility for design-build applications.
