Mains PSU - UK mains to 12V

This is a plug that goes into the mains power and then converts the mains AC power to 12V DC which is what many of our EL Drivers are powered by.

Since EL Wire is very low power, we only have these power supply units that output a maximum of 1A.

These power supply units are recommended to be used with our adaptable drivers.

If you have never seen EL wire have a look at my other items - it is basically a thin cool glowing neon wire

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

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

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

8 x AA Battery Box(1)

The size of this power pack is:

127mm x 72mm x 19mm and the lead for the output is 17cm long with a 2.1mm/5.5mm plug on the end.

This is a useful item for when you need to power a 12v appliance that you want to make portable

Standard alkaline batteries are 1.5v each, so 8 of them will make 12v, however rechargeable batteries are only1.2v each, so 8 of them in this battery pack will only produce 9.6v.

1800mAh (Thin) Li-ion Battery

These batteries have been specially made for EL Wire Craft and are made with the highest quality Lithium Polymer technology.

While trying out different battery systems we found that many of them exaggerated the milliamp/Hour ratings. These batteries are within 10% of the rating at which they have been given.

They also feature overcharge protection.

They do not have their own on/off switch as we found this was unnecessary and just added another element that could fail.

We have these batteries in 4 different sizes with the following weights and dimensions:

1800mAh (Square): 125g (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)

15Ah: 725g (14.0cm x 6.5cm x 4.7cm)

SPECS:

Capacity: 1800mAh, 3000mAh or 5000mAh

Input power: DC 12.6V

Output: DC 12V

Over-charge / discharge protection: Yes

AC Mains Chargers are available with UK plugs.

These Li-ion batteries are best charged with dedicated Li-ion Intelligent Chargers

The 15Ah has an overcharge protection up to 15A so can take a larger current draw

Adaptable Driver for 5-15m (Trigger Switch)

This is a super adaptable EL Driver which will run from 5 to 15 metres of EL wire or 100 - 350squ cm of EL Tape or Panel

For portable uses, this allows the unit to be held on the body while the switch runs down the sleeve to the hand. For other uses, it allows the driver to be mounted somewhere pretty far from the switch. The switch will latch on when fully pressed down, press for a second time and the switch will latch off.

It is similar to the Water Resistant 5-15m Adaptable Driver, but is boxed differently and not potted in resin making it lighter (and therefore more popular as a portable driver)

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

Its dimensions are: 5.2cm x 3.2cm x 2.8cm (L x W x H) and weighs 61g.

3000mAh Li-ion Battery

These batteries have been specially made for EL Wire Craft and are made with the highest quality Lithium Polymer technology.

While trying out different battery systems we found that many of them exaggerated the milliamp/Hour ratings. These batteries are within 10% of the rating at which they have been given.

They also feature overcharge protection.

They do not have their own on/off switch as we found this was unnecessary and just added another element that could fail.

We have these batteries in 4 different sizes with the following weights and dimensions:

1800mAh (Thin): 145g (10cm x 5.5cm x 1.1cm)

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)

15Ah: 725g (14.0cm x 6.5cm x 4.7cm)

SPECS:

Capacity: 1800mAh, 3000mAh or 5000mAh

Input power: DC 12.6V

Output: DC 12V

Over-charge / discharge protection: Yes

AC Mains Charger: UK Plug

These Li-ion batteries are best charged with dedicated Li-ion Intelligent Chargers.

CHASING Driver for 5 - 15m

This adaptable EL Driver only works for CHASING EL Wire

With this Driver you can adjust the speed of the chasing wire

It is a powerful driver and is suitable for 5m - 15m of standard Chasing EL Wire or 5m ULTRA Chasing EL Wire
It DOES NOT have an On /Off Switch and will switch on as soon as it is connected to a power source.

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

Its dimensions are: 5cm x 4cm x 4cm (L x W x H) and weighs 80g.

Instructions:

1. Switch On, (to first position), ensuring that you have the EL Wire attached, as not having it attached when switching the Driver on can burn the Driver out.
2. The first position is ON and normal chasing speed.
3. Slide the switch to the last position and the Chasing EL Wire will move between speeding up and slowing down.
4. Watch the speed and when you see the speed that you want the EL Wire to chase at, move the switch back to the first position and it will lock the speed you want to use.

This Driver does have an On/Off Switch

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 also has a range of power inputs that hopefully cover most uses:

1) ONLY THE DRIVER

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 (126mm X 72mm X 18mm) 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 (63mm X 58mm X 30mm) 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

1800mAh (flat): 100g (10cm x 5.5cm x 0.8cm)

1800mAh: 100g (5cm x 3.3cm x 2.7cm)

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

5000mAh: 265g (5.3cm 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 Euro 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
