The power consumed by lumaglass™ is less than 1 Watt per Meter for the NP profile and less than 2 Watts per metre for SP. Both types use less than 5% of the power of Neon and Cold Cathode lighting.

Standard Line voltage does not usually provide enough frequency or voltage to adequately light the Lumaglass™ EL lamp. Therefore, a Lumaglass™ power supply is needed to convert standard line voltage to a higher voltage and frequency. The power supply is powered from a 240v spur, and is then connected to the lamp. Some basic facts about the Lumaglass™ inverter are:

• Accept Input (Mains) voltage of anywhere from 100 to 250 Volts AC, at either 50 or 60 Hz.
• Produce Output voltage (adjustable) of anywhere from 50 to 330 Volts AC, at 650 Hz.
• Have Fused input voltage protection.
• Electronic Open Circuit and Short Circuit and Ground Fault Interruption Protection.

Lumaglass™ Compensating Power Supplies come in 3 models. Each model can power a different range of lamp sizes.
