Adafruit Electroluminescent (EL) Panel - 20cm x 15cm Aqua

This large sheet of flexible plastic coated with EL material transforms into a vibrant, aqua-glowing square. It emits a consistent, serene glow across its entire surface, measuring 20 cm x 15 cm (7.9" x 5.9") with a thickness of approximately 0.5mm. The spill-proof PVC coating ensures durability for various indoor applications, although the connector is not waterproof.

Customize your lighting experience by cutting the panel into any shape, provided the connector stays intact. For creative designs, apply opaque masking or use printed transparencies atop the glowing surface. A vinyl cutter may assist in precise designs, but laser cutting is not advised due to potential toxicity.

This product includes a robust 12V inverter and a female DC jack, allowing a direct connection to a 12V power supply. The potted waterproof inverter operates silently, maintaining your environment's tranquility. Use an 8xAA battery holder for portable illumination options. The panel draws approximately 210 mA from a 12V source, ensuring efficient energy use while illuminating your space.

Please note the inevitable variations in color and brightness when comparing this electroluminescent panel to EL tape and wire, as they are produced using different processes. This glowing panel is ideal for innovative lighting solutions where unique shapes and calm illumination are desired.
