Light Tape provides external wall display

Energy saving Light Tape has been used to create a display on the external walls of the Darwin building on at University College, London.

The display features the words 'Darwin Walk' in Morse code, with the dots and dashes being made from Light Tape in its Cut out Shapes form.

The cut out form of the project means all the pieces were custom cut from Light Tape Extreme Series electro-luminescent panels as required and encapsulated in a Honeywell Clarus film.

Each cut out was fitted with a heavy duty 3M Resin Sealed IP68 Rated Connector including wire, ready for installation.

Vibramount adhesive strip was applied, in turn, to each of the prepared chosen sights for the installation of the shapes.

The shapes were then individually positioned on to the vibramount and sealed into place under clear polycarbonate sheeting, then screwed to the receiving wall.

Once fitted in to place all of the shapes were wired back to the mains supply through channelling fixed across the top of buildings wall via two Light Tape Smart Driver power units.

The lighting is controlled by a photocell further ensuring sensible power usage.
