 QL4 QuarterLites are low energy lights using four high brightness Light Emitting Diodes. They fit on to the back of the sign box and light is emitted sideways through 360° diffusing off the sides and back of the box to produce an even illumination on the front face. The LEDs are mounted on a flexible PCB with a circuit shunt and connector and are thermally bonded to the aluminium heat sink to keep the light cool.

QL4 QuarterLite:

  • High performance lighting
  • Save 65% of energy
  • Life expectancy 50,000 + hours
  • Maintenance free
  • Reduces C02 and carbon emissions
  • No bulb or tube disposal costs
  • Easy to retro-fit into existing signs

 

 

Application:

The QL4 QuarterLites are used for lighting internal and external advertising signs, company names and billboard signs.

 

They are suitable for use in:

Fascia signs, Direction signs, 6-Sheet Adverts, Flex-face signs, Menu signs, Circular signs, Illuminated letters

Electroluminescence

Electroluminescent (EL) devices are actually 1 mm flat lamps. They emit light, but they are unlike any traditional lamp. EL relies on phosphorescent materials which glow when exposed to a small electrical current.
 
Electroluminescent technologies have low power consumption compared to competing lighting technologies, such as neon or fluorescent lamps. This, together with the thinness of the material, has made EL technology valuable to the advertising industry. Relevant advertising applications include electroluminescent billboards and signs. EL manufacturers are able to control precisely which areas of an electroluminescent sheet illuminate, and when. This has given advertisers the ability to create more dynamic advertising which is still compatible with traditional advertising spaces.
 
Animated or flashing displays require a driver to operate. A driver is simply an inverter connected to an IC chip which is then connected to several different EL sheets, panels, tapes or decals. As different lamps are illuminated, they produce an animated effect.
 
 
Application in advertising:
- Modern Alternative Media
- Out of Home Networks
- Indoor P.O.S. Networks
- Public Transport
- P.O.S. Materials
- Shop windows decoration
- BTL applications
- Design and architecture
- Events realisations, concert stages

Lenticular technology

Lenticular printing is a technology, which combines traditional printing on both paper and plastic surfaces with a lenticular layer on the top. Final lenticular print means therefore a 2 part sandwich structure object.

 

The technology is used to alter the image with one of the basic effects:

3D depth effect which allows to display multiple layers and create and illusion of depth.

Often used for:

Chips jumping out of the box

Coke splashing from the can

Beer bottle in front of other objects

 

 

Animation, also called Flip. The poster contains even completely different visuals, that flip due to change of view angle.

The creativity is the only limit for this kind of effect. Although the visuals could be different, often only a part of them change, rendering the illusion of something moving in the poster.

 

 

Lenticular technology’s origins are on 40s of the last century, but only the raw power of computers is allowing the technology to find it’s place in marketing and design. The size of final product is limited only to the size of lens layer. The basic sizes allow creation of small stickers, six sheets and billboards as well.
