Illuminated Performer Costumes for a Major Theme Park
VynEL™ HD integrated into character costumes that survive daily performer use, industrial laundering, and the IP standards of one of the world's most recognized entertainment brands. The benchmark for what production-grade wearable lighting looks like in practice.

Wearable Lighting Applications
If it's worn by a human being and it needs to glow, we've likely done a version of it. Here's where we spend most of our time in this vertical.
Performer Costumes
Theme park characters, touring productions, live shows. Built for daily use, quick changes, and industrial laundering. We've done this at the highest level of entertainment production.
Fashion & Runway
Illuminated garments for editorial, runway, and brand campaigns. We work with designers directly to integrate lighting without compromising the garment's drape, structure, or aesthetic.
Safety & High-Visibility Gear
Illuminated vests, jackets, and workwear for nighttime and low-light environments. We've built for construction, logistics, event staff, and military-adjacent safety applications.
Sports & Performance Apparel
Lighting integrated into athletic gear — jerseys, training wear, and specialty sports apparel. Designed to handle sweat, flex, and repeated mechanical stress.
Festival & Event Wear
Multi-night builds for performers, brand ambassadors, and event teams. Battery systems designed for all-night operation; attachment methods that hold up to dancing, crowds, and weather.
OEM & Volume Production
We work with manufacturers to integrate lighting into products at volume. From prototyping through production tooling — we have factory relationships in the US, China, and Taiwan.
The Right Tool for the Job
Wearable Lighting Technologies
Three technologies cover the vast majority of wearable lighting applications. Here's how to think about which one fits your project.
Best for Most Projects
VynEL™
Flexible electroluminescent panels that iron-bond directly into fabric. Broad surface glow, not just lines.
ProfileUltra-thin, flexible
IntegrationHeat bonded into garment
Glow typeBroad surface area
Launder safeYes — encapsulated
Best forCostumes, fashion, safety
Precision Work
SewGlo™
Machine-sewable illuminated thread. Stitch light directly into fabric in any pattern, logo, or design.
ProfileThread — no added bulk
IntegrationStandard embroidery machine
Glow typeStitched patterns & logos
Launder safeYes — washable
Best forLogos, custom patterns
Line Work & Outlines
EL Wire
The original wearable lighting technology. Thin, flexible wire that glows 360° along its entire length.
ProfileWire — 2.3mm diameter
IntegrationSewn, glued, or clipped
Glow typeLine / outline / edge
Launder safeWater resistant
Best forSeams, outlines, accents

How It Works
From Concept to Production
Most wearable lighting projects follow this path — whether you're building one costume or ten thousand units.
01
Project Brief
Tell us what you're building, what it needs to do, and what the timeline looks like. We ask the right questions upfront.
02
Technology Match
We spec the right technology for your application — material, environment, power, and integration method.
03
Sample & Prototype
We build a working sample so you can evaluate the result before committing to a production run.
04
Production
Once the prototype is approved, we move to production — US or overseas depending on volume, timeline, and cost requirements.
