But to really spice it up try one of our interactive EL shirts.

Interactive you ask? Yes Intereactive EL shirts.  We have two new exciting models, the first is an EL clock that is made right into your shirt! You would litteraly have a clock ticking the entire time you wear this shirt.  Not a fan of being a walking time piece? How bout when you want to show people just how loud they truly are? Then try our sound reactive shirt, with every noise you make the colored bars react just like a sound board.  Whats also great is that there are two settings on this shirt for quiet or loud environments.

Light-up serving trays

EL, LED, light-up, party decorations, vending No Comments

Some might think that serving trays are simple functional items that are a necessity to the service industry. Well you’re only partly right. To tell you the truth there is nothing simple about how you load up a serving tray. You have to balance it when you load it up, and when you take items off of it. Forgetting to think about weights can send a whole tray of high priced cocktails to the floor.

But I always thought to myself, why is it that the drinks can be dressed up while the trays arent? Well not any more. Introducing our line of LED and EL lite-up serving trays.

My personal favorite is the LED model, with the lights changing in a never ending array that is sure to memorize and impress your patrons. The lighted serving trays come with a 2 x AA battery pack with batteries installed, and easily changed for long term use. Also each tray has a no slip material added so that your drinks stay on the serving tray and not on the customers lap.

EL trays are available in Green, Blue, and a Pinkish-Red color

Please do not be confused by our EL lighted trays, these are not Neon bulbs. Those trays found in bars in the early nineties, were heavy and easily breakable and required large amounts of batteries. EL is a simple cord that lights up when the phosphorous is excited by electrons, they still run on AA batteries and can take a large amount of abuse.

Flashing Sunglasses, a cool way to express yourself

EL, LED, Lighted sunglasses, light-up, lighted glasses No Comments

Lighted Sunglasses have become a craze hit in many parts of the country. Originally they were designed using EL (Electro-luminescence) wire laid around the frame of the glasses. They looked great but had one major problem… They had to have a 2 x AA battery pack attached to the sunglasses via a power cord. So literally you had a power pack in your pocket, and the glasses on your head. Not to mention they are expensive, the cheapest place I just found them were selling them at $8.50 wholesale

This never seemed to convenient or ‘cool’ to have to walk around with a power pack the size of a beeper tethered to your head.

Instead we came out with the LED (Light Emiting Diode) Version!!! and these things are cool ! No more need for large battery packs attached with wires, but instead a small watch battery compartment behind the ear as part of the the glasses.


You can also choose the setting you want the lighted sunglasses to illuminate at, slow blink, fast blink, rotate, reverse, or constant on. And another cool feature is that you can have the lights in different colors (you can’t do that with EL lighted sunglasses).

To see the different color options of the lighted sunglasses or to get a close up view on how they work feel free to view our youtube video clip by clicking below.
