Wills and Kate use EL Wire in Kensington Palace

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have unveiled a sculpture at the heart of their new Kensington Palace Home that uses more than two miles of electroluminescent wire (EL Wire).

I had always heard that princess Kate had style, but now I’m beginning to believe it!

Wills and Kate must have some really powerful Driver to power all that EL Wire – my guess is they have 4 or 5 different Inverters powering i – and if it doesnt have an elaborate flashing sequence then the designer of this luminous lace sculpture has missed a trick

The largest EL Sculpture i have ever made was for the Glastonbury festival and by comparison was a measly 250metres of wire

If this has inspired you to make your own electroluminescent sculpture then heres a few tips:

1) Any EL Wire over 25metres or Drivers for more than 200metres would have to be ordered specially and may take a week or so to get in stock – contact me if this is your plan

2) The most powerful EL Driver I hold in stock will run 200 metres of EL Wire very brightly. With these powerful drivers, you can quite ofte control the brightness with a dial AND the flashing speed if you have it on Blink Mode

3) I always have 10m, 15m, 25metre and 100m lengths of wire in stock

4) I have powerful sequencers that can run a modest 25 metres of wire – that is 5 metres off each channel, but with the 3 different sequence modes, plus flash, and continuous ON these give an incredible effect

5) You can daisy chain as many splitters off each other as you need – i also have extenders that are 5metres long
