The legends for many of my switches and controls are back lit by a tape that produces a blue light. The level is adjustable for a group of legends with a potentiometer located in the panel. I think the technology is electroluminescence. An adjustable AC voltage is applied to one end of the tape and light escape through one side while the tape is held to the panel with an adhesive. Anyway, one of mine has failed and now only sparks ominously occasionally. Has anyone else had to replace a piece of tape? If so, can you make any suggestions about where I can purchase the tape. Has this lighting system been reliable for most of you?

Thanks,
Russ
