Light Tape wipes the floor with Cold Cathode and Neon.


Light Tape scored a big success with the tapes being used to great effect recently as Floor Lighting at the Holiday Inn conference.

As well as being fitted to highlight the stage plinth, providing an easy to install, clean, ultra modern edge to the overall base of the structure, Light Tape was also used on the floor of the stage in a fan pattern producing a stunning, stylish platform from which the proceedings were presented.

Floorshield was used on top of the 1” wide strips of Light Tape, sealing them in place temporarily and providing a secure, flat, non-slip surface ensuring the safety of the presenters as they walked over the lit tape when moving across the stage

The installation of the Light Tape proved to be much easier than a more traditional form of lighting.

For example to get the same effect on the stage floor using Cold Cathode the bulb would have to be inset into pre-cut channels in the stage floor then covered with Perspex to protect it. Where as, due to the thinness (as thin as a business card) and durability of the Light Tape, it can be fixed on top of the flooring and sealed off with the Floorshield.

Add this to the fact that the reusable Light Tape is less than half the cost of Cold Cathode or Neon, uses less than 10% of the power (1 watt per Meter at 1” wide), has no glass, no gas and does not use heavy metals you have a truly unbeatable product.

Light Tape comes in a range of colours and widths and due to its inherent flexibility of use and cost effectiveness, is the modern, ideal solution for use in all forms of decorative display be it in a supermarket, Hotel, conference, exhibition, or on a stage.

What is Light Tape?

Light Tape is made up of metal ribbon coated in Sylvania phosphor and encapsulated in a Honeywell laminate. Light Tape has no glass, no gas, and no mercury/heavy metals and so is user and environment friendly. Light tape provides an 85% - 90% energy saving against other commercially available light sources such as Neon and Cold Cathode and due to its thinness (just 0.5mm thick, as thin as a business card) and being lightweight, affords inherent flexibility of use providing a neater, modern, space saving alterative that is easy to install with little to no maintenance and has a long working life.

Light Tape Benefits:

INCREDIBLE ENERGY SAVINGS
A 1 inch Light Tape lamp 300 feet long (91 m) would consume less power than a 100 watt light bulb. Light Tape is the most energy efficient form of lighting. Typical energy consumption is only 0.025 ma / sq. in.

SAFE ALTERNATIVE, NO MORE GAS, GLASS OR HEAVY METALS!
Light Tape is a flat flexible plastic lamp that does not contain gasses, filaments, mercury or glass. It is extremely visible through smoke yet does not produce a glare. Cool to touch and meets UL as well as other agency safety requirements.

UNIFORM SURFACE LIGHTING
Light Tape uniformly backlights signage and is less than 0.02 thick! No more hot or dark spots.

EASY TO INSTALL, COMES IN ROLLS!
Light Tape is flexible enough to wrap around corners, over uneven surfaces and areas previously unimaginable. Simply use Velcro or double sided tape for indoor installations.

BETTER EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS
Now available in Snap n Light extrusion. See web sit for details at: www.lighttape.co.uk

OUTDOOR FRIENDLY
We have engineered Light Tape to work outside as well as inside. A logical replacement for traditional neon or other accent lighting. Quick, easy, do it yourself

LASTS FOR YEARS, NO MAINTENANCE
Light Tape lasts for years with virtually no maintenance required while providing low energy operation.

LOVES TO DANCE, FLASH IT, DIM IT!
Unlike fiber optics, Light Tape loves to be flashed. Flashing will not only enhance many applications but will significantly extend its life. Light Tape offers multi-channel sequencers as well as flasher units. The voltage and frequency may be adjusted to vary the brightness as well as colour hue.

THIN AS A CREDIT CARD
Light Tape is a thin as a business card (0.02 Inches thick) but flexible as tape. Flat and emits no heat, you can put it anywhere!

LONG RUNS, ONLY ONE CONNECTION!
Imagine a single run of Light Tape 300 feet long (91m), powered by a single power supply and connected only at one end. And, the brightness will not vary over the length of the lamp.

EXTREMELY DURABLE, CUT IT WITH SCISSORS!
You can walk on Light Tape bend it around corners even hang it on the back of a bus. It's tough to break yet can be cut to length by scissors before sealing.
