White EL Panel in Many Sizes A6, A5, A4, A3, A2 and A1

(A larger selection of EL Panels are available at our sister website elpanelandtape.co.uk)

This listing is for Electroluminescent Panels in a selection of 'A' sizes

EL Panels are very versatile thin sheets that give off a very bright glow

All the Panels are less than half a millimetre thick and the sizes below:

Size = Height x Width (mm) or Height x Width (inch)

A1 = 841 x 594 mm or 33.1 x 23.4 inches

A2 = 594 x 420 mm or 23.4 x 16.5 inches

A3 = 420 x 297 mm or 16.5 x 11.7 inches

A4 = 297 x 210 mm or 11.7 x 8.3 inches

A5 = 210 x 148 mm or 8.3 x 5.8 inches

A6 = 148 x 105 mm or 5.8 x 4.1 inches

(other sizes, colours and shapes of EL Panel are available here on this website)

The colour of White EL Panels when they are switched off is a pink or peach colour.

EL panels on and off

The Panel needs a Driver to power it - this can either run off a 12v power pack or mains electricity (UK plugs are standard but Euro or US are available on request)

A size panels double in size, so it is possible to use an A3 Driver to power two A4 panels (using an EL Splitter), or the same A3 Driver could power four A5 size panels using a 4-way splitter.

A larger selection of EL Panels and dedicated drivers is available at our sister website elpanelandtape.co.uk

We also have a whole selection of different size and colour EL Panels, EL Tapes, EL Shapes and EL Letters available.

Light Blue EL Letters

As these are made with EL Panels then they need an EL Driver to make them glow

You may already have an EL Driver and be adding these letters in which case you can choose 'NO DRIVER'

This set has the option of 6 different types of Driver

Mini Driver = for 1-6 EL Letters

Basic (2xAA) Driver = for 1-15 EL Letters

8xAA Driver= 10-50 EL Letters

Mains Driver = 10-50 EL Letters

Sound Activated Driver = 1-10 EL Letters

Sound Activated + Portable (8xAA) Driver = 25-50 EL Letters

Please choose how many EL Letters you want and your Driver selection in the drop down menu

We have a huge selection of different Drivers, Sound Activated and Sequencers in stock that will all work with these EL Letters

To work out which driver is best, you could consider each EL Letter is equal to around 25cm of EL Wire

e.g. if an EL Driver is rated for 1 metre of EL Wire, then it will power four EL Letters

White EL Letters

These EL letters are currently available in: White, Light Blue and Red

Please choose which colour you would like and how many letters you will need

EL Panel - 25 x 25cm

We have made this EL Panel with Telescope Flat-Field Correction in mind

This EL Panel can be used like any other for the variety of uses people find for these EL Panels.

But if you need an EL Panel for flat-field correction then this is the type of Panel you may need.

If this Panel is too large for your telescope, then you may find this A5 panel (14cm x 20cm) would suite your needs better.

Or if you need a larger EL Panel for flat-field calibration, then you will have to use out A3 EL Panel (29cm x 42cm)

If you are using this Panel for flats then you may want to use some opalescent acrylic to diffuse the granulation of the EL Panel

We do not currently have any in stock of this opalescent acrylic, but it is available online (e.g. here)

The EL Panel comes with a Driver that can hot swap between mains (UK, US or Euro), 8xAA Battery Box, rechargeable Li-ion battery, 12v Crocodile Clips or car lighter attachment to put on your own 12v source

All these parts for the Driver are available in the EL Accessories

Here is the experience of one of our customers from using our EL Panels for flat-field correction:

You'll remember that we exchanged emails following my purchase of an A4 EL panel from you last month via eBay.

In your last email you asked whether the Panel would be bright, white and even enough for telescope calibration, and I said I would let you know how it performed once I had it all set up.

For use, I sandwiched the EL Panel between a sheet of black acrylic and a sheet of opal frosted acrylic, bound the edges together with black plastic insulation tape, and fixed the assembly into a deep A4 picture frame.

The attached images show how the panel performs in producing flat-fields for the correction of astronomical images. A 6-inch reflecting telescope and astronomical camera with an APS-size CCD colour sensor were used. This is the maximum size of telescope that can be calibrated with the A4 panel.

The Panel was placed directly onto the telescope tube. With the particular camera I used, the exposure needed to give around 33% saturation of the sensor (the ideal value) was 0.25sec. So brightness is perfectly adequate for the purpose.

The attached images include the flat-field obtained and an analytical map of the brightness distribution. The vignetting is entirely due to the optics of the telescope. There is no detectable unevenness arising from the EL Panel alone.

I have not tested the spectral distribution of the panel. Many astronomical cameras use monochrome sensors and colour images are obtained by combining exposures taken through red, green and blue filters, as well as some special narrow-band filters designed to highlight specific radiation from hydrogen, oxygen, etc. I expect that flats obtained using these filters will need different exposures to compensate for differences in the emission spectrum of the EL Panel.

Two of the attached images show a picture taken last week of the galaxy pair M81 and M82, with and without correction using the flat field panel. The 'without correction' picture is a raw image before any processing - the 'with correction' picture shows the result of flat-field correction combined with processing using specialised software to manipulate the brightness range of the image.

These are a very good results and I think it fair to say that a perfectly adequate set-up can be made using your Panels.

Thanks for your help getting the Panel to me and sorting out the glitches.

EL Panel - 26cm diameter circle with 12V or mains dedicated driver

This versatile panel can be used for Telescope Flat-Field Correction.

This EL Panel can be used like any other for the variety of uses people find for EL Panels. It glows white when illuminated and is a peach colour when not illuminated.

If this Panel is too large for your telescope, then you may find this A5 panel (14cm x 20cm) would suite your needs

Or if you need a larger EL Panel for flat-field calibration, then you will have to use our A3 EL Panel (29cm x 42cm)

If you are using this panel for flats then you may want to use some opalescent acrylic to diffuse the granulation of the EL Panel

We do not currently have any in stock but it is available online.

The EL Panel comes with a choice of 12V portable dedicated driver, that can be hot swapped between various 12V power supplies (e.g. crocodile clips, car lighter attachment, 8 x AA battery box or rechargeable Li-ion batteries), or a dedicated mains powered driver with either a UK or EU mains plug.

---------------------------------------

As with all EL panels, this 26cm diameter glowing circle will need a driver to make it glow. You have the option of a 12V (portable) dedicated driver or mains powered dedicated driver.

Here are a range of 12V power inputs for the 12V driver which will hopefully cover most uses:

1) NO DRIVER

This is a great option if you already have your own driver you want to use.

Whatever your reason, this option gives you just the 26cm diameter circle EL panel - without any driver or external power supplies like the rest of these listed below...

2) Crocodile Clips

Perfect if you already have your own 12V battery to run this driver

3) Car Lighter Adaptor

This adaptor plugs into the car lighter socket. It is fused and ends with a 5.5mm/2.1mm jack plug so it can be used with any of our 12v Drivers or accessories

4) 8xAA Battery Box

This 8xAA Battery Box will plug straight into the driver. It is fairly large (127mm x 72mm x 19mm) but will make this EL Driver portable

5) Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Much smaller and lighter than the Battery Box, these powerful Li-ion batteries come in a range of sizes

3000mAh: 172g (7.3cm x 5.6cm x 2.2cm)

5000mAh: 265g (6.0cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)

All of these Li-ion Batteries come with an intelligent charger as standard.

6) The mains powered driver options comes with a UK plug or EU plug.

A5 Cuttable EL Panel - Can be Cut Into Four Shapes

This is the latest breakthrough in helping people create their own glowing designs out of super-thin EL Panel - EL Panels are much thinner than a credit card (just 1/3mm thick) and glows beautifully.

This Cuttable A5 EL Panel is available in these colours:

White, Red, Light Blue and Green

To use this Panel, the first thing you must really think through is your design

If you have a pretty good idea what you want to make then you should decide whether you have to use this cuttable panel, or whether you can use one of our standard EL panels

If you simply have to have your EL shapes cut out then this cuttable panel is the thing for you

A5 cuttable EL Panel in Green

The shapes you cut will still need a driver/inverter to power them so you will need to decide on the best driver for you:

In the drop-down menu there is a choice of either mains powered and/or portable (8 x AA batteries) Driver. These are both capable of powering 400squ cm of EL Tape

Maybe the shapes you want to cut are tiny and you could use a smaller driver. In this case just choose NO DRIVER and, if you don't already have one, purchase a 2 x AA battery Driver here.

A 4 Way Splitter is also provided

There is a guide to cutting EL Panels in the tips section of our website:
