EL Tape - 1.5cm x 15cm of EL Glow Tape
This listing is for a 1.5 cm wide and 15cm long Electro-Luminescent Tape.
Currently, in stock we have these colours: Light Blue (Tron Blue), Deep Blue, Red, Pink, Orange, Green and White
On the back of the EL Tape it has wires with connectors already attached
This EL Tape needs an Inverter/Driver to make it glow
The drop down menu gives you the options to buy this item with a 2 x AA battery inverter, 1 x AAA mini driver or no driver.
EL Tape is an incredibly versatile material it can be wrapped around things.
It can even have holes and shapes punched into it and be cut to your chosen shape
This Tape is also available in 2cm x 12cm, 25cm, 40 cm and 1 metre lengths
3.2mm EL Wire @ £3 per metre
The 3.2mm EL Wire is favoured by makers as it is robust and its thickness offers protection while still having a bright neon effect. When placed on a costume or other project it keeps straight lines without showing kinks
It is available in any of these colours:
Light Blue (Tron Blue), Purple, Deep Blue, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime Green, Grass Green, Turquoise-Green and White
Because the EL naturally glows blue/green the brightest colour of the wire is the Light Blue, Lime Green and White. The least bright are the red and purple as they have to be filtered the most to get the colours right.
The wire has a connector on it so is ready to simply clip into an EL driver - THE DRIVER HAS TO BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY
FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US IF WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR REQUIRED LENGTH LISTED
- - - - - - - - - - - -
This wire comes with a standard connector so simply plugs into any EL driver - this makes it easy to change between coloured wire on one driver
By using splitters you can also connect different strands to the same driver
EL wire has loads of uses
It 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
-
This wire can be cut into smaller lengths and attached to another inverter
Our inverters can run many strips of wire as long as the total length of the wire is under the inverters maximum capacity
With some care, the EL wire can be attached to speaker wire to make patterns or extend the wire over gaps where it isn't needed
Joining tape and tubing for attaching EL Wire is available from this store
this is if you want to cut the EL wire and rejoin it or perhaps attach some wire to a different inverter
Cutting the wire into the length you choose is simple... but rejoining it takes care and attention.
You will also definitely need some wire strippers.
You can happily use the joining tape and heat shrink tubing supplied for a decent join but if the joint is likely to encounter stress (e.g if it is threaded into clothes that will then be bent and jostle) or if the join may be hard to reach (e.g behind a panel in a car) then we would advise soldering to avoid future hassle
It is a cliché to say you are only limited by your imagination but with this neon string 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 email or ring us with any questions

5mm THICK EL Wire @ £4 per metre
The 5mm EL Wire is the least brightest of different diameters of EL Wire, but is ideal for outdoor applications - Sunlight is not good for EL Wire and the thick coating on this wire protects it more.
Some people also prefer this thicker wire for its 'chunky neon cable' look but will not bend into the rightangles required for some letters of the alphabet.when you're making a faux neon sign.
The colours we have at present are:
Light Blue (Tron Blue), Purple, Deep Blue, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Grass Green, Lime Green, Turquoise-Green and White
This 5mm thick EL wire is available in the following lengths: 10cm, 1 metre, 3 metre, 5 metre, 10 metre
This wire comes with a standard connector already attached so that it simply plugs into any EL Driver.
By using 'Splitters' you can also connect different strands to the same Driver.
EL wire has loads of uses!
It has an amazing neon string effect when decorating the interior or exterior of cars, can be used inside and outside of your home and office and can even be threaded into clothes and hats.
This wire comes as 'plug and play' but if you want to get more technical you can be cut into smaller lengths
Our EL inverters can run many lengths of wire as long as the total length of the wire is under the Driver/Inverters maximum capacity
With some care, the EL wire can be attached to speaker wire to make patterns or extend the wire over gaps where it isn't needed
Joining tape and tubing for re-attaching the wire are available from this store
- this is if you want to cut the EL wire and rejoin it or perhaps attach some wire to a different inverter
Cutting the wire into the length you choose is simple... but rejoining it takes care and attention so you will definitely need some wire strippers.
You can happily use the joining tape and heat shrink tubing for a decent join but if the joint is likely to encounter stress (e.g. if it is threaded into clothes that will then be bent and jostled) or if the join may be hard to reach (e.g. behind a panel in a car) then we would advise soldering to avoid future hassle
There are How-tos and a forum on the site to get some great tips
