Luminex Fabrics

I found a really amazing book in the library about future textiles today called 'future fashion , innovative materials and technology'

Luminex Fabric

Luminex is an innovative fabric capable of emitting light through an electrical LED system . These light emitting diodes are available in five different colours: white , yellow, red, blue and green and can be used alone of combined.
The fabric can be electrically powered in two ways, depending on the end use. when used for immobile objects, such as a certain, it can be connected to the power supply. it can also be used wirelessly, such as clothing, and either 3.6 or 9 V rechargeable batteries can be used.





what amazes me about Luminex fabrics is that its a completely functional fabric, it can be washed (as a delicate) , cut like a normal fabric and used just like any other fabric. i feel it is very fitting to my work and would be something i would love to experiment with, for my colour palate and aesthetically to the eye.
