Description

This handy item is a 12v driver with a variety of power inputs that will run between 5 and 15 metres of EL Wire.

The Driver has a switch on the side with 3 different positions Off – Flash – Continuous On.

As explained in detail below, these Adaptable Drivers are very versatile with a whole selection of Power inputs (Mains, Batteries, Direct 12V etc)

The size of the Driver is: 5.4cm x 3.4cm x 2.9cm and weighs 61g.

Using splitters, this Driver can run as many strands as you like as long as the total is under 15 metres.

EL Driver Options:

We have found it is impossible to guess how you will be using the EL Wire, EL Tape and Drivers, so you will see on this website we have tried to give you as many choices as possible.

This driver is no exception as it has a range of power inputs that cover most potential uses, please choose one of these from the drop-down menu:

1) ONLY THE DRIVER

5-15m inverter for EL Wire

Maybe you have your own 12V 5.5mm/2.1mm input you want to use, perhaps you will be using one of the 2-way power splitters?

Whatever your reason, this option gives you just the driver (as in the pic above) – without any external power connectors like the rest of these listed below…

2) Crocodile Clips

Perfect if you already have your own 12V battery to run this driver

3) 8xAA Battery Box

This 8xAA Battery Box will plug straight into the driver. It is fairly large (127mm x 72mm x 19mm) but will make this EL Driver portable.

4) 3 x 18650 Rechargeable Battery Box

This 3 x 18650 Rechargeable Battery Box will plug straight into the driver. It is fairly large (76mm x 60mm x 19mm) and the leads for the output are 15cm long but will make this EL Driver portable.

5) Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Much smaller and lighter than the Battery Box, these powerful Li-ion batteries come in a range of sizes

1000mAh: 81g (6.5cm x 3.7cm x 1.8cm)

1800mAh (square): 145g (5.6cm x 3.8cm x 3.1cm)

3000mAh: 172g (7.3cm x 5.6cm x 2.2cm)

5000mAh: 265g (6.0cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)

All of these Li-ion Batteries come with an intelligent recharger

6) Mains Powered

This handy PSU can be used to make this EL Driver powered off of Mains Electricity (UK, US or EU plugs are available)

7) Car Lighter Adaptor

This adaptor plugs into the car lighter socket. It is fused and ends with a 5.5mm/2.1mm jack plug so it can be used with any of our 12v Drivers or accessories

8) 2 way Splitter for 12V Power Input (5.5mm)

If you’re thinking of running two of these units off of one power source, then get yourself one of these splitters.

Please note this is a Splitter from the Battery to the Driver, so you would only need one Battery pack for 2 x Drivers.

Most people also use Splitters that come from the Driver to the EL Wire (so you only need 1 x Driver for many EL Wires) – you can get those types of EL WIRE SPLITTERS HERE

*If you want more than one of the power connector mentioned above for your EL Driver,

They can all be found in our Accessories section, or just click the description you want and be taken to its own page*

Remote Control

You can use this Remote Control Unit by connecting the Controller between the Power Source and the Driver.

You can use several controllers with just one hand-held remote unit if you want to switch different drivers at once.

The Remote Control Unit is not available in the drop down menu above – please click on the link to get the full details of this handy EL Accessory and add it to your basket

*All the EL wire we supply comes with a connector, so they plug straight into the driver

EL wire has loads of uses!

This neon wire looks amazing when decorating the interior or exterior of cars, can be used inside and outside houses and can even be threaded into clothes and hats

It is a cliché to say you are only limited by your imagination but with EL wire it is true!!!

If you have not seen it before it is like a really long glow stick that lasts over 5,000 hours

We’re sure you will be amazed – feel free to message us with any questions.
