The wire is available in any of these colours:
Light Blue (Tron Blue), Purple, Deep Blue, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime Green, Turquoise-Green (being discontinued), Grass Green and White

EL wire has loads of uses
It looks amazing when decorating the interior or exterior of cars and motorbikes and can be used inside and outside of your home and office and can even be threaded into clothes and hats.

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
MAXI EL Wire - 1.5mm High Brightness @ £5 per metre
MAXI EL Wire lives up to its name by bringing together the latest breakthroughs in electroluminescent technology to create a high brightness glowing wire that outshines standard EL Wire.
At 1.5mm in diameter, you will find that whilst making patterns with the MAXI EL Wire, it will hold itself rigid when bent into its desired shape. 1.0mm fine EL Wire also does this, but MAXI EL Wire creates a much more rigid form.
The Maxi EL Wire is more robust than the Ultra EL Wire and is as reliable as the standard EL Wire.
The bend radius of MAXI EL Wire is 5mm; the same as our standard EL Wire.
Breaking strain is at 1kg also the same as our standard EL Wire.
Pressure on the MAXI EL Wire should not be more than 1kg; the same as our standard EL Wire.
These spectacular improvements are due to a thicker copper core giving a greater area of luminosity and helps the EL Wire hold its shape.
MAXI EL Wire uses exactly the same Splitters, Drivers and Sequencers as standard EL Wire.
This remarkable glowing wire is £5 per metre and is available in 50cm, 1 metre, 3 metre, 5 metre, 10 metre and 25 metre lengths (with connectors attached).
It is available in Light Blue, Lime Green, Orange, Yellow, Deep Blue, Deep Pink, Pink and White
Comparing Standard, MAXI and ULTRA EL Wire
As with all electroluminescent technology, 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 EL Wire has a connector already attached so is ready to simply clip into an EL Driver - THE DRIVER HAS TO BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY
A wide selection of other EL Tapes, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from our 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
