Electroluminescent Lighting

Light That Bends
to Your Vision.

VynEL™ is electroluminescent lighting reimagined for wearables. Flexible, sewable, iron-on ready. A cold light source that bends, curves, and runs for hours on a single charge — used by costume designers, filmmakers, and fashion labels worldwide.

Proprietary LED Technology

LED Lighting That
Looks Like Neon.

Pixel-Free LED™ eliminates hotspots and pixel separation at the source. The diffusion is engineered into the silicone profile — no channel, no setback, no compromise. Five profiles for every installation scenario. IP67, 24V, CRI >95.

Fiber Optic Technology

Light Transmitted
Through Glass.

Laser Wire® is side-emitting fiber optic cable — no electronics on the run, no heat, no failure points. Used for helipad edge lighting, aerospace, underwater, and precision architectural applications where LED simply cannot go.

Illuminated Thread

The Thread That
Glows.

SewGlo™ is electroluminescent thread you sew directly into fabric. Compatible with standard sewing machines. Use it for costume embroidery, wearable tech, safety apparel, and illuminated fashion — with no rigid components, no weight, no bulk.

About Ellumiglow

Specialty Lighting You
Won't Find Anywhere Else.

Ellumiglow is a specialty lighting manufacturer and retailer focused on one thing: lighting products that do what standard lighting cannot. We stock and develop electroluminescent wire, EL tape, illuminated thread, fiber optic cable, and proprietary LED technology for applications that demand more than a standard LED strip can deliver.

Our product lines include VynEL™ electroluminescent lighting for wearables and costume design, Pixel-Free LED™ for commercial and architectural applications requiring zero hotspots, Laser Wire® fiber optic cable for environments where no electronics can be on the run, and SewGlo™ illuminated thread for fabric-integrated lighting. We also offer custom lighting design and fabrication for commercial, film, stage, and wearable applications.

Based in the US, shipping domestically and internationally. Every product we stock is tested for the applications we sell it into — we don't carry anything we wouldn't specify ourselves.

Electroluminescent Technology

VynEL™Wearable Light, Engineered.

VynEL™ is Ellumiglow's proprietary electroluminescent lighting system designed specifically for wearable applications. Where standard EL wire is round wire you have to sew around, VynEL™ is a flat, flexible panel that irons directly onto fabric — or sews in like a label, a patch, or a strip of trim.

Used by Hollywood costume departments, theatrical designers, cosplay builders, and performance artists. The light is even, cool to the touch, and produces no heat or RF interference — camera-safe and completely wearable for hours on a battery pack.

Proprietary LED Technology

Pixel-Free LED™Zero Hotspots. Zero Compromise.

Standard LED strip lights show their pixels. Pixel-Free LED™ eliminates that problem by engineering the diffusion directly into the silicone extrusion — no diffuser channel, no setback distance, no additional hardware. The light output looks like neon. The installation is standard LED strip.

Five profiles for five installation scenarios: 360° tube for neon replacement and pendants, Trim for signage and forward-facing displays, Base Trim for flush press-fit installs, On-Board for ultra-hidden accents at 1.6mm tall, and Commercial Strip for continuous runs up to 15m from a single driver. All 24V, all IP67, all CRI >95.

Fiber Optic Technology

Laser Wire®When LED Cannot Go.

Laser Wire® is side-emitting fiber optic cable driven by a remote light source — which means there are no electronics, no heat, and no failure points anywhere along the run. Light travels through a glass core and emits through the jacket along the entire length. The driver sits at one end, safely away from the application.

This makes it the only viable lighting solution for helipad edge marking (jet fuel ignition risk eliminates LED), underwater installations, hazardous environment signage, and any application where the lighting must function in conditions that would destroy standard electronics. Runs up to 100m. IP68 rated. No maintenance on the run.

Illuminated Thread

SewGlo™Light Sewn Into Fabric.

SewGlo™ is electroluminescent thread that runs through a standard sewing machine and stitches directly into any fabric. No rigid components, no wire channels, no bulk. The finished garment looks and moves exactly like an unilluminated garment — until you power it on.

Unlike VynEL™ which applies as a flat panel, SewGlo™ creates illuminated stitch lines — embroidery that glows, seams that light up, decorative patterns in light. Used for fashion, stage costuming, safety and hi-vis apparel, and wearable tech prototyping. Works with any EL inverter system, battery or USB powered.
