The film Tron has presented us with a neon-tastic vision of the future which captures the imagination of sci-fi fans. If you’re into Tron-style fashion, whether you’re planning a Tron costume for your next cosplay outing or simply want to add futuristic light elements to your apparel for safety (and to turn heads), then you ought to check out Tinko HUSH.
Tinko HUSH is an innovative, silent electroluminescent light engine controllable via microcontroller or FPGA, perfect for animated signage and costumes. It illuminates up to 40 in² of EL panel or 240 inches of EL wire by converting 5 VDC to 230 VAC at 800 Hz, packaged in a compact, durable design with built-in protections against various electrical issues. Designed for a wide array of applications, Tinko HUSH offers silent operation and versatile power and control options, including a USB-C connector for easy powering.
It stands out for its silent operation compared to other inverters and is compatible with VynEL, a flexible, water-resistant electroluminescent material ideal for textiles, offering dual-sided illumination and easy integration into fabrics. Together, Tinko HUSH and VynEL facilitate the innovative use of lighting in eTextiles, powered by the Microchip HV816 inverter driver for safe, effective illumination.
Tinko HUSH will be crowdfunded on Crowd Supply soon. Meanwhile, you may learn more about Tinko HUSH and the tech behind it HERE.
