The panels designed by Ginco and the McQueen team are based on a hand drawn Christmas tree, but with a very cotemporary feel and have been programmed to slowly fade and increase luminosity, giving a slightly misty effect to the forest. Richard Kirk, managing director of Elumin8 said: "The Christmas trees really show the creative potential of the elumin8 product, they have transcended the high tech Electroluminescent lamp technology and created a dreamy and faintly surreal image of Christmas."
Electroluminescent lighting is not a new technology, for years it has been used as backlighting for small consumer goods like mobile phones and other LCD displays, as well as instrument clusters in cars and aircraft. However, Elumin8 is constantly blowing away the preconceptions around the technology by including it in increasingly ambitious lighting schemes.
