Beer Bottle Labels That Light Up

[SgtRock]

Greetings EEVBees:

--It soon will be more difficult to have that discrete evening nip or two, out by the garden shed, with out the "Old Ball and Chain" spotting you. Now it is beer bottle labels that light up. Snork! But it is somewhat interesting technology, inasmuch as the little lights and the labels were created using conventional printing technology. I doubt they last much longer than the beer though. So other than beverages, Russian vodka, and other things that are consumed all at one go, other uses remain to be seen. Here's looking at you.  See below for link to "TheRegister" article. Hick!

The Quarrel of the Universe let be:
And, in some corner of the Hubbub couch'd,
Make Game of that which makes as much of Thee.

Hehe, small world.  PragmatIC is a spinout from the univ of Manchester. One of the key figures in that company wrote the book Analog Electronics with Op-amps: A Source Book of Practical Circuits

Well I have work in a local factory that did beer bottle labels,  before some ages ago, I do not have the best memories from it ..

Dear Kiriakos:

--Yes, well, much better to work at the place where the send the labels.

"And much as Wine has played the Infidel
And robbed me of my robe of Honour, well ...
I often wonder what the vintners buy
One half so precious as the stuff they sell"

Now you can even find your preferred beer brand in the dark and you aren't forced to turn the lights on! Even the light in the fridge isn't necessary any more I think these are funny thoughts xD  On the picture it looks quite nice. Very elegant and expensive *hehe* I think this could be a good marketing strategy for an exclusive beer.
