A multiple function electro-luminescent lighting arrangement comprising:
- an electro-luminescent lighting including at least one electro-luminescent lighting element and at least one pair of electrodes for electrically connecting the electro-luminescent element to a power source;
- said power source produces a current selected from the group consisting of alternative current and direct current;
- at least one additional lighting element which is not an electro-luminescent element;
- both said electro-luminescent element and said additional lighting element being powered by said current;
- and
- a housing containing both said electro-luminescent element and said additional lighting element.
