Adafruit Blue Electroluminescent (EL) Wire - 2.5 meters

Electroluminescent (EL) Wire offers a vibrant blue glow, making it perfect for diverse applications such as costuming, decoration, and safety enhancements. With a flexible design, it can be easily shaped and retains its form. Ideal for projects needing ambient lighting without the power consumption of LEDs.

This 2.6mm thick EL wire boasts twice the brightness of standard 2.3mm variations, emitting 82 cd/m² when driven at 1.5KHz/90V. It draws a mere 10mA per meter and has a half-life of 3000 hours at continuous use. Although not meant for prolonged UV exposure, it remains a reliable choice for indoor creativity.

Supplied as a 250 cm pre-cut piece, it connects seamlessly to an AC inverter (not included), delivering immediate illumination. Each full length draws 200mA from 2xAA batteries, providing around 10 hours of constant light. Customize by cutting and resoldering, guided by an expert step-by-step tutorial.
