Adafruit Pink Electroluminescent (EL) Wire - 2.5 meters

EL Wire, a revolutionary way to illuminate your projects, is both flexible and durable. This wire glows a calming aqua color when powered by an AC signal, offering an aesthetic similar to thin neon without the high power consumption. Its 2.6mm thickness with a soft pink coating helps it blend seamlessly into various designs, turning white when lit.

This 250 cm wire is versatile, making it ideal for applications like costuming, decorative accents, and safety gear. Despite its moderate brightness compared to LEDs, it excels in energy efficiency, lasting up to 10 hours when paired with our portable 2xAA pocket inverter. Note that while it’s perfect for indoor and temporary outdoor use, constant UV exposure can cause fading.

Connecting and customizing your EL Wire is straightforward. It comes pre-cut and pre-soldered for immediate use with any suitable inverter (sold separately). For more advanced projects, you can trim and re-solder with basic tools and our detailed tutorial. Remember that this differs from EL tapes and panels, so expect some variance in color and brightness.
