About Autus Lumos | India’s Electroluminescent Lighting Company

How it began

Our story began with a simple yet daring question: what if light could do more than illuminate?

What if it could be as thin as paper, as flexible as fabric, and seamlessly woven into life itself? Fueled by curiosity and design, we set out to turn that idea into reality. That pursuit led us to electroluminescent technology, which turns light into an experience rather than an object.

Today, we are shaping a future where light isn’t just seen, but felt, lived, and dreamed with. The possibilities have only just begun.

01

What we do

We design and manufacture ultra-thin, flexible Electroluminescent (EL) panels for a wide range of industries including automotive, advertising, fashion, and consumer electronics. Our panels are energy-efficient, customizable, and built with precision using the best materials and processes we can find. With innovation at our core, we deliver advanced lighting solutions made in India for clients around the globe.

02

How we do it

We manufacture EL panels using advanced screen-printing, precision layering, and lamination techniques in a controlled, high-tech environment. Each panel is engineered with ultra-thin, flexible materials to ensure durability, brightness, and energy efficiency. Our in-house R&D and quality control teams rigorously test every product to meet global standards. With a focus on precision engineering and innovation, we ensure that each EL panel we manufacture is a testament to our technical excellence.

Mission

Make EL simple.

Bring electroluminescent light into every industry, and make it easy to design with and easy to use.

Vision

Lead by 2040.

Global leadership in electroluminescent products and integration.
