ReLight [Eco-lightbulb fabric]

A new-generation light designed fabric based on electroluminescence technology. First developed entirely for military purposes, this material is made up of glass fibers with micro-coatings of conductive polymers resulting in a cold-light source with great flexible characteristics and harmless for tactile applications. This material properties will allow complete reduction of needed light fixture assembly and a great sustainable future application for lighting measure in exterior and interior conditions. it will replace the fragile mercury-laden fluorescent tubes used by the military today. The new panels will not need to be packed in heavy protective crates, but instead will be attached to the inside of a tent. No assembly/disassembly required; the lighting collapses and is packed along with the tent.
