An interesting development in the world of banners has been introduced in the USA; Britten, Inc., a wide format banner printer, has launched the world's first internally illuminated banner solution. The system uses Brittens’ patented BannerBright system.
Britten have used CeeLite's Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC) technology to produce the banners. Britten is the certified manufacturer of these backlit/illuminated banner systems for indoor and outdoor applications.
Paul Britten, president and CEO of Britten stated that, "Britten intends to utilise CeeLite LEC panels to illuminate banners of all types, including street pole banners, ceiling displays, stadium and arena ceilings, airport displays and concert backdrops.
“We envision this product changing the way our customers think of banners, they’ll be able to bring their messages to life and get their brand essence across in a very unique and compelling way.”
Banners to date have been lit by either front or back lit lighting, now LEC technology has the potential to change that.
LEC panels are thin (approximately one millimeter thick), flexible and lightweight light sources that may be used on flat or curved surfaces to illuminate the surface itself and, in conjunction with graphics or films, to provide illuminated advertising, signs and architectural surfaces. CeeLite’s LEC panels may be manufactured in a variety of custom shapes and sizes up to 18 square feet.
Entirely new categories and uses for banners are now possible. Panels can be remotely controlled even generate unusual lighting such as fade in and out, flash, remain steady, and even adjust brightness as the evening turns from day to dusk to night. The possibilities are endless.
