We propose a flat flexible high intensity light source for use as a visual signature modifier. The light sources intensity as well as its spectral distribution can be controlled by electronic means. Furthermore the system can be designed to provide high intensity light output in the near infrared as well. The proposed system is modular and portable in nature, being in essence inflated to its flat final form in the field. LNMAL conversion efficiency of electrical power to radiant energy is estimated to exceed 10x, and with possible incorporation of future high efficiency light sourcest efficiencies in excess of 20% could be achieved. Production costs for commercial quantities of the proposed system are estimated at under 1000 s/m2. Versatile optical signature modifier which can be spectrally modulated, is flexible and portable. Commercial applications in clean rooms, hazardous plant environments where sources and emitting surfaces need be separated. Light sources for circadian adjustments shift work, jet lag, elderly, sleep disorder, and military rapid deployment.
