Multicoloured EL Wire @ £6 per metre
Here we have some beautiful EL Wire which is 5mm thick, with a colourful pattern and glows when the wire is attached to an EL Driver.
Other drivers for EL Wire than the ones listed above are available from our online store.
All of the EL Wire including this will already have an EL Connector attached.
This is what the wire looks like when lit.
This is what the EL Wire looks like close up.
Many strands of EL Wire can be connected to a single driver by using a splitter.
*It is not recommended to use a micro EL Driver for this multicoloured EL Wire. Because of the colourful sleeve, we recommend you use the brightest, most powerful driver you can*
- - - - - - - - - - - -
This wire comes with a standard connector so simply plugs into any EL inverter - this makes it easy to change between coloured wire on one inverter.
By using splitters you can also connect different strands to the same inverter.
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 drivers.
Our drivers can run many different strips of wire as long as the total length of the wire is under the drivers maximum capacity.
With some care, the EL wire can be attached to thin electrical wire to make patterns or extend the wire over gaps where it isn't needed.
Joining tape and heat shrink tubing are also available if you want to cut the EL wire and rejoin it or perhaps attach some wire to a different driver.
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 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.

We have made this EL Panel with Telescope Flat-Field Correction in mind
This EL Panel can be used like any other for the variety of uses people find for these EL Panels.
But if you need an EL Panel for flat-field correction then this is the type of Panel you may need.
If this Panel is too large for your telescope, then you may find this A5 panel (14cm x 20cm) would suite your needs better.
Or if you need a larger EL Panel for flat-field calibration, then you will have to use out A3 EL Panel (29cm x 42cm)
If you are using this Panel for flats then you may want to use some opalescent acrylic to diffuse the granulation of the EL Panel
We do not currently have any in stock of this opalescent acrylic, but it is available online (e.g. here)
The EL Panel comes with a Driver that can hot swap between mains (UK, US or Euro), 8xAA Battery Box, rechargeable Li-ion battery, 12v Crocodile Clips or car lighter attachment to put on your own 12v source
All these parts for the Driver are available in the EL Accessories
Here is the experience of one of our customers from using our EL Panels for flat-field correction:
You'll remember that we exchanged emails following my purchase of an A4 EL panel from you last month via eBay.
In your last email you asked whether the Panel would be bright, white and even enough for telescope calibration, and I said I would let you know how it performed once I had it all set up.
For use, I sandwiched the EL Panel between a sheet of black acrylic and a sheet of opal frosted acrylic, bound the edges together with black plastic insulation tape, and fixed the assembly into a deep A4 picture frame.
The attached images show how the panel performs in producing flat-fields for the correction of astronomical images. A 6-inch reflecting telescope and astronomical camera with an APS-size CCD colour sensor were used. This is the maximum size of telescope that can be calibrated with the A4 panel.
The Panel was placed directly onto the telescope tube. With the particular camera I used, the exposure needed to give around 33% saturation of the sensor (the ideal value) was 0.25sec. So brightness is perfectly adequate for the purpose.
The attached images include the flat-field obtained and an analytical map of the brightness distribution. The vignetting is entirely due to the optics of the telescope. There is no detectable unevenness arising from the EL Panel alone.
I have not tested the spectral distribution of the panel. Many astronomical cameras use monochrome sensors and colour images are obtained by combining exposures taken through red, green and blue filters, as well as some special narrow-band filters designed to highlight specific radiation from hydrogen, oxygen, etc. I expect that flats obtained using these filters will need different exposures to compensate for differences in the emission spectrum of the EL Panel.
Two of the attached images show a picture taken last week of the galaxy pair M81 and M82, with and without correction using the flat field panel. The 'without correction' picture is a raw image before any processing - the 'with correction' picture shows the result of flat-field correction combined with processing using specialised software to manipulate the brightness range of the image.
These are a very good results and I think it fair to say that a perfectly adequate set-up can be made using your Panels.
Thanks for your help getting the Panel to me and sorting out the glitches.
