Adafruit Aqua Electroluminescent (EL) Wire - 2.5 meters

EL Wire shines in an entrancing aqua hue, offering a luminous glow powered by a stiff wire core coated with phosphor and surrounded by a protective PVC layer. Unlike traditional light sources, it exudes a gentle radiance reminiscent of thin neon, bending effortlessly to secure any desired form—whether spiraled around your finger or woven into creative designs.

Ideal for a myriad of applications including costume embellishment, decorative projects, accent lighting, and enhancing safety gear, this versatile 2.6mm wire connects easily to a suitable inverter for immediate illumination. It's a practical choice for bicycle or motorcycle visibility, eye-catching signs, and dynamic home decoration, making each project truly stand out.

Measuring 250 cm, this pre-cut, pre-soldered length ensures immediate integration, albeit not optimally suited for outdoor environments due to UV sensitivity. Compatible with our 2xAA portable pocket inverter, it consumes approximately 200mA, guaranteeing up to ten hours of continuous glow with 2000mAh batteries.

For enthusiasts eager to modify or extend functionality, detailed tutorials guide through the cutting and re-soldering process. Essential tools include wire strippers, soldering iron, solder, copper tape, and heat shrink, with a third-hand tool simplifying the task. Note that slight color variations may occur compared to EL tapes and panels due to distinct manufacturing processes.
