Bright Ideas - viable Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC)

It's a Wrap

CeeLite's paper-thin, flexible lightbulbs can go virtually anywhere: around a pillar, on the floor, even around Chad Smith's drum set during the Red Hot Chili Peppers' recent appearance on Saturday Night Live. The light-emitting capacitors (LECs) are essentially 1-mm-thick sheets of plastic. Inside is a layer of phosphor that when hit with an alternating current, shines bright white (not bluish like other electroluminescent light). The LECs illuminate surfaces evenly but can also be programmed to dim, fade or flash on contact.
