FullTiltRiderPDX 17 Posted November 4, 2012 I like the reflective. Ducks, not so much. Its actually not reflective, its illuminating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted November 4, 2012 It looks good. Just kidding about the Ducks. I made Oregon some stencils for a friends sport court and a logo for his backboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FullTiltRiderPDX 17 Posted November 4, 2012 It looks good. Just kidding about the Ducks. I made Oregon some stencils for a friends sport court and a logo for his backboard. My buddy owns a wrap shop in town and another guy I know owns a hydro dipping company, they both have the contracts for the ducks helemts. If I get a lot of postive feedback on my illuminated ducks decals and I can get a good pricepoint on them, I may go down to the college and get a license to produce them for retail. But the illuminating material is pretty expensive though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sue2 920 Posted November 6, 2012 Must admit it looks great! Illuminating not reflective.....how does it work? It looks like glow-in-the-dark. Does it hold up long-term? Cost? Thanks! Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim H. 2 Posted November 10, 2012 Sweet! Do you have a link for illuminating vinyl source? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FullTiltRiderPDX 17 Posted November 11, 2012 EL panels (Electroluminescent panels) Its pretty expensive stuff.... Its not really the vinyl that is illuminating, its behind the vinyl. I cut out the logo in black standard vinyl, then use translucent vinyl to add the colors I want. The panels come in 3 basic colors White off/Blue on, White off/Aqua on, Pink off/White on. But to give you an idea, a standard size 8.5 x 11" panel with power inverter will run you in the $70-100 range depending on quality. Most panels lifespan are about 10-20k hours.

Compnerd88 9 Posted November 11, 2012 In the first picture you say "hooked up to car"....what does this mean? How exactly do these get power? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FullTiltRiderPDX 17 Posted November 12, 2012 In the first picture you say "hooked up to car"....what does this mean? How exactly do these get power? The EL Panels run off a power inverter. Kinda like a neon transformer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
