Electroluminescent signs

"The most significant development in traffic signs since the development of reflective materials" Electroluminescent technology passes a low voltage current through a phosphorous covered surface converting electricity into light.

No fluorescent tube disposal costs Greater first & last look angles Operates when damaged Environmentally friendly No catastrophic failure Reduces light pollution Reduced vandalism Easier to read Saves approximately £50 per sign per annum in maintenance costs Increased legibility at greater distance than conventional signs Significantly reduces operator maintenance costs No light fixture obtrusion for high-ride vehicles Approximately 40% less power consumption Better definition with increased clarity

Extract from newspaper article (1) "Badly lit road signs at night are to become a thing of the past thanks to clever new 'glow in the dark' technology. The new signs dont need bulbs or a powerful electricity supply, as they are printed on special material that shines on its own when powered by a small current. "The trouble with ordinary signs is that the light can be patchy," said (the company spokesman). "Ours is illuminated evenly so it can be seen clearly from further away."" Extract from newspaper article (2): "...Bikers benefit not only from the increased visibility of the signs but also because the poles holding the signs can be made of much lighter material because they dont have to support heavy lights... ...other advantages include better visibility in all light and bad weather, less light pollution and reduced energy consumption"
