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.

Sewable EL Wire - Easy Sew Tag @ £3.50 per metre

This handy item is a 2.3mm EL wire with sewable tag running along it; it is available in lengths of 50cm, 1m, 3m, 5m and 10 metre.

(EL wire needs a Driver to make it glow - available from £4 in the Inverter/Driver section of the website).

EL Wire twisted into a spiral

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

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 already attached and ready to clip into an EL Driver - THE DRIVER HAS TO BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY

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 and motorbikes and can be used inside and outside of your home and office and can even be threaded into clothes and hats.

Our Drivers can run many lengths of EL wire as long as the total length of the wire is under the Driver's maximum capacity

Cutting the wire into the length you choose is simple

8 x AA Battery Box(1)

This handy item is an enclosed battery box that takes 8 x AA batteries (batteries not supplied) and gives an output of 12v.

*Please note this is just a battery box, IT IS NOT AN EL DRIVER/INVERTER. They are available as a power supply for our EL Drivers or EL Sequencers.*

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

REMEMBER:

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.

*Please note this is just a battery box IT IS NOT AN EL DRIVER/INVERTER. . They are available as a power supply for our EL Drivers or EL Sequencers.*

18650 batteries are the long round flat ended rechargeable 'INR' or 'IMR' batteries which have become popular since they are used in vaping rigs.

 

We have made this battery box to power the 12v EL Drivers and Sequencers,

The 18650 batteries are 3.7v each, so the power input from this Battery Box with 3 is a total of 11.1V

We have found this barely makes a difference when powering EL Drivers compared to the convenience of these rechargeable batteries

This Battery Box comes with a standard 2.1mm/5.5mm connector

 

The size of the Battery Box power pack is 75mm x 60mm x 20mm and the output lead is 250mm long.

EL Wire Repair Kit

Contents of the elwirecraft EL Repair Kit:

1) Instruction Booklet
2) 5 x Male EL Connector (that attach to the EL Wire itself)
3) 6-way Splitter
4) Copper Tape
5) Wide and Thin Heatshrink Tubing
6) End Caps

You Will also Need
1) Wire strippers
2) Soldering Iron + Solder
3) Scalpel
4) Heat gun or lighter
5) Helping Hands (if possible)

EL Wire Care

EL Wire is a very robust material - it can withstand fairly extreme temperatures between -20°C and 50°C. It is durable and the wire itself is water resistant. If the wire is likely to get wet or even be in a humid environment then make sure the end of the wire has been made fully waterproof as the connection point is sensitive to moisture.

Even if the material itself is hardy, like any electronics it has to be looked after if you want it to last a long time.
This goes double if the EL Wire is going to be worn and where it will be exposed to various stresses that electrical items are sensitive to.

There are some tips on the back page to get the most out of your EL Wire, but you must also remember that the life of your
EL Wire will be reduced if it is exposed to repeated bending stress, extreme pulling tension or humid conditions.

EL WIRE WITH CONNECTORS ATTACHED

All the EL Wire, EL Tape and EL Panels supplied by elwirecraft already have connectors attached and are ready to plug straight into a driver

(please note we always have stocks of EL Wire with connectors attached in lengths of 10cm, 50cm, 1metre, 3metre, 5metre, 10 metre, 15 metre and 25 metre)

The connectors for EL wire are generally universal - these are connectors that either attach to an EL Driver or will fit into a splitter that comes off of a driver

If you are cutting a piece of EL wire you may also want to put a cap on the end of it so these are supplied too

Cutting EL Wire couldn't be simpler, but re-attaching it is fairly easy but takes a little time and patience and is explained step by step in the instruction booklet

We can supply more copper tape and heat-shrink tubing here

Adaptable Driver for 20 - 60m

This handy item is an adaptable driver which will run between 20 and 60 metres of EL Wire.

Running any less wire than 20m will reduce the lifespan of the wire and strain this driver as it is being overpowered.

The Driver has a switch on the back for either continuous ON or Flashing

The size of the Driver is: 12cm x 6.5cm x 3cm and weighs 222g.

This is a very powerful inverter that not only runs very long lengths of EL Wire but does so much brighter than most other drivers!

Using splitters it can run as many strands as you like as long as the total is under 60 metres

1) ONLY THE DRIVER

5-15m inverter for EL Wire

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 supply like the rest of these listed below...

 

2) Crocodile Clips

crocodile clips

Perfect if you already have your own 12V battery to run this driver

 

3) 8xAA Battery Box

batterybox

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

batterybox

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

rechargable 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)

Portable Mini Driver for 1 metre EL Wire or 50sq cm EL Tapes/Panels

Here we have a really handy small portable EL Driver that takes 1 x AAA battery (battery not supplied).

It's dimensions are: 5.1cm x 2.9cm x 1.5cm and it can power up to 2 metres of EL Wire but it is ideal when running 1 metre or under of EL Wire.

When it is used to drive more than 1 metre of EL Wire, the whistle of the inverter becomes audible.

(This is important to consider if you are using it in a hat or mask)

The driver has a switch with 3 settings: On / Off / Flash

This EL Driver has an 8cm long output wire with a standard EL wire connector on the end

Use this to connector plug in EL Wire or a Splitter

*All the EL wire we supply comes with a connector, so they plug straight into the driver*

**EL Drivers contain an inverter that switches the current from DC to AC and increases the voltage - for this reason EL Drivers are often called EL Inverters - they are the same thing**

Using a splitter, this driver can run many strands and colours of EL wire as long as the total length of wire is 2 meters or under

FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US IF WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR REQUIRED LENGTH LISTED

A wide selection of other EL Tape, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from our online store.

el wire and el tape

- - - - - - - - - - - -

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.

The EL wire can be cut into smaller lengths and attached to another driver.

Or 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.

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.

Basic Portable Driver for up to 5 metres of EL Wire (with Trigger Switch)

This EL Driver has been specially designed for dance acts or light-painters who need constant control over their EL Wire and want to switch it on and off with ease

Based on a standard 2 x AA EL Driver, but instead of a push button on the front scrolling through the settings there is a long 1metre (35inch) wire coming out of the driver that ends with an ON/OFF click plunger (the trigger)

Extra control can be achieved by half depressing the trigger before it clicks and using this to switch the EL Wire Off and On

The Driver is supposed to sit on the waist or the back where it drives up to 5 metres of EL Wire. The power lead with the trigger on the end can then run from here, down the arm and either be held in the hand, or sewn into the sleeve for easy access

This Driver DOES NOT have a flashing option.

This is a powerful and reliable driver and makes the EL Wire glow brightly. It can run 5m of EL Wire or up to 80 sq cm of EL Tape

Adding a few splitters and you can have up to 5 different 1metre strands of wire or even 10 pieces of 50cm EL Wire

*All the EL wire we supply comes with a connector, so they plug straight into the driver*

The Push button on the front of this driver has been immobilized and has no effect
