How Does LumiLor Paint Work? LumiLor Paint is a form of electroluminescent technology. While electroluminescent or EL technology has existed since the early 1900’s. LumiLor is the world's first sprayable form of electroluminescent technology. To understand how the LumiLor system functions, we must first understand Electroluminescence. Often described as an optical or electrical phenomenon, EL technology emits light in response to an electric current and is a non-thermal conversion of electric energy into light. High energy electrons excite the phosphor layer, and photons are emitted as it returns to its relaxed state. LumiLor Paint takes the science of electroluminescent technology and combines it with automotive paint, creating the world’s first sprayable electroluminescent paint system. Applied using standard HVLP spray equipment, the LumiLor system is a truly conformal and controllable light-up paint system. The LumiLor system, or Light-emitting-coating (LEC) , is comprised of 4 different materials and applied in 5 layers.
The first layer is Backplane, a conductive material that creates the bottom plane ( the light will only illuminate in areas where the backplane is applied) . Second, is Dielectric, an insulative material that ensures the electric current does not cause the system to burn.
