CeeLite™ is the world’s first company to manufacture and market commercially-viable Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC) technology, which is destined to redefine the way lighting is used today! CeeLite’s LEC technology was recently named one of TIME Magazine’s “Best Inventions of 2006,” and Electronic Products Magazine’s “2006 Product of the Year”. CeeLite’s advanced LEC technology turns any surface into a light source. Ranging in size from cell phones to 3’ x 6’, CeeLite LEC technology creates new markets where lighting was previously impossible and replaces traditional lighting where flawless surface illumination is required; in floors, walls, ceilings and within unconventional objects.

CeeLite's LEC technology encompasses proprietary shielded three wire panels, highly advanced cUL listed inverters and packaging options. Compared to early stage and standard electroluminescent (EL) products, CeeLite's LEC-based commercial quality lighting offers vastly superior reliability, brightness and long life.

From a functional standpoint, LECs are similar to organic light-emitting diodes. OLEDs, though, tend to be relatively small.
CeeLite's signs are powered by a light-emitting capacitor, or LEC. LECs effectively store energy like standard capacitors, then release it into a substrate sprinkled with phosphors, which emit light when a current is applied. Different researchers and companies have worked on LECs and similar electroluminescent products for years, but the results weren't great. The products wore out over time or were relatively small.

"We figured out what makes EL (electroluminescence) fail," Binder said.
