Illuminated Performer Costumes for a Major Theme Park
VynEL™ HD panels integrated into character costumes built for daily performer use at a major theme park. The system survived industrial laundering, multi-performer rotation, and a full IP and safety review. This is what production-grade wearable lighting looks like.

Where We Work
Entertainment Lighting Applications
Entertainment production demands more from a lighting system than almost any other vertical. We've built for the environments where failure isn't an option.
🎡
Theme Parks & Attractions
Performer costumes, character meet-and-greet suits, ride theming, and attraction lighting. We work with park operators and their approved vendor networks to meet IP and safety standards.
🎬
Film & Television
Prop lighting, costume lighting, and set-integrated lighting for film and TV productions. We can move fast when production schedules demand it and supply materials for both hero and backup builds.
🎭
Theater & Live Performance
Broadway, touring productions, and live entertainment — costume lighting that survives eight shows a week, quick changes, and the mechanical stress of performance movement.
👗
Fashion & Runway
Illuminated garments for editorial, runway, and brand campaigns. We've lit runway shows where the lighting is the story — not the accessory.
🎪
Festivals & Live Events
Performer costumes, brand ambassador suits, and staff identification lighting for large-scale live events and festivals. Built for multi-night operation and crowd environments.
🎮
Gaming & Esports
Illuminated cosplay, team uniforms, and stage costumes for gaming events and esports productions. The VynEL™ aesthetic is native to gaming culture.
How We Build for Entertainment
Production-Grade from the Start
Entertainment clients have approval processes, IP reviews, and safety standards that most lighting suppliers aren't built for. We are.
01
IP & Safety Review
We build with IP approval processes in mind from the first sample — not as an afterthought after the design is locked.
02
Hero + Backup Builds
Productions need redundancy. We build hero costumes and backups to spec so productions have what they need on show day.
03
Performer Safety First
Every wearable system we spec is evaluated for heat, voltage, and contact safety against the performer's body — not just the garment.
04
Durability Testing
Launder testing, wear testing, and stress testing before delivery. We don't send untested systems to productions.
Technology
Entertainment Lighting Technologies
Most entertainment builds use one of three technologies. VynEL™ HD is the standard for costume work — nothing else delivers the same combination of broad surface glow, flexibility, and launder compatibility.
Industry Standard for Costumes
VynEL™ HD
Flexible EL panels that heat-bond into garments. Broad, even surface glow — not lines. The choice for production-grade costume work.
