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.

Adaptable Driver for 0 - 5m (Water Resistant)

This is a super adaptable EL Driver which will run up to 5meters of EL wire or 150squ cm of EL Tape or EL Panel

It DOES NOT have a flashing function - but comes with the option of an On/Off plunger switch. The switch will latch on when fully pressed down, press for a second time and the switch will latch off.

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

It has two integral screw fixing points on either side of it so it can be fastened down.

It has a water-tight seal all round it including where the wires come in and out of it. Attached in a sensible place it should withstand all types of weather

Its dimensions are: 28mm x 18mm x 24mm (L x W x H)

The screw fixing tabs stick out 6mm each on the 29mm side and could easily be cut off if space is vital. The driver weighs 25g.

EL Driver Options:

This EL Driver comes either with or without an On/Off switch.

Without a switch it will draw power whenever it is connected to a power source

DRIVER WITHOUT SWITCH PIC - DRIVER WITH SWITCH PIC

Or It has a Trigger Switch on the end of a 1.2metre cable. 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

 

This Driver has a range of power inputs that cover most potential uses, please choose one of these from the drop-down menu:

1) ONLY THE DRIVER

12v small adaptable 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, or will you be cutting off the connector and using the bare wires?

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

crocodile clips

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

 

3) 8xAA Battery Box

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)

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

8) Self Stripping Wire Connectors (2)

self stripping wire connectors 300

This Driver is perfect for using when decorating your car with EL Wire.

An incredibly simple way to join the wires into your 12V loom is using these Self Stripping Wire Connectors (pack of 2)

 

9) 2 way Splitter for 12V Power Input (5.5mm)

2 to 1 splitter for 12v 2.1mm 5.5mm adapter

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

 

*If you want more than one of the power connector mentioned above for your EL Driver,

They can all be found in our Accessories section, or just click the description you want and be taken to its own page*

 

Remote Control

12v remote control

you can use this Remote Control Unit by connecting the Controller between the Power Source and the Driver

*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 and el tape

EL wire has loads of uses

It has an amazing neon string effect when decorating the interior or exterior of the home, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and trailers.  It can be used to make faux neon signs and attached to costumes and even be threaded into clothes and hats.  It can be used as safety lighting and mood lighting.

1.0mm Fine EL Wire @ £5 per metre

This fine EL Wire is one of the brightest of all the types of EL Wire and is also very malleable and will hold its shape when bent like a kind of neon modelling wire, making it a fun and useful material to work with.

el wire and el tape

EL wire has loads of uses

This neon wire 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 driver

Our drivers can run many 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 speaker wire to make patterns or extend the neon wire over gaps where it isn't needed

 

Joining tape and tubing for re-attaching the wire are available from this store

- this is 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 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

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

STIFF EL Wire 2.3mm @ £5 per metre

Stiff EL Wire lives up to its name as a mould-able, bendable wire suitable for making signs or shapes.

At 2.3mm in diameter, you will find while making patterns with this Stiff EL Wire, it will hold itself rigid when bent into its desired shape and is robust with a strong connector

The bend radius of Stiff EL Wire is 5mm which is the same as our standard EL Wire as is the breaking strain at 1kg
Pressure on the Stiff EL Wire should not be more than 1kg, this means it cannot be pinched too hard or trodden on

This Stiff EL Wire is unlike the standard EL Wire. The 1.0mm, MAXI and ULTRA also share this property, but because of a reinforced copper core, the Stiff EL Wire definitely holds its shape best.

Stiff EL Wire uses exactly the same splitters, drivers and sequencers as standard EL Wire

ULTRA EL Wire lives up to its name by bringing together the latest breakthroughs in electroluminescent technology to create an intensely bright glowing wire that outshines all other types of EL Wire (including Double Core)

At a sturdy 2.6mm in diameter, you will find while making patterns with this ULTRA EL Wire, it will hold itself rigid when bent into its desired shape, (1.0mm EL Wire also does this, but ULTRA EL Wire creates a much more robust form)

Please note ULTRA EL Wire has to be handled more carefully than standard EL Wire, there are three things to be aware of:

1. The bend radius of Ultra EL Wire is 1.2cm which is much less than standard EL Wire which is 5mm.
2. The breaking strain is 500g, compared to 1kg for standard EL Wire.
3. Pressure on the Ultra EL Wire should not be more than 500g, this means it cannot be pinched too hard or trodden on

These spectacular improvements are due to bringing together these latest breakthroughs in electroluminescent technology:

1. A thicker copper core gives a greater area of luminosity and helps the EL Wire hold its shape
2. Premium Grade 'next generation' Phosphors are used to coat the core to give the most intense bright neon effect possible

3. Thicker internal corona wires - that's right! Thicker corona wires spiral around the core, this provides maximum exposure of the current applied to the Wire

ULTRA EL Wire comparison

Comparing 1metre of 2.3mm, 3.2mm and ULTRA EL Wire

ULTRA EL Wire uses exactly the same splitters, drivers and sequencers as standard EL Wire.

It will draw twice as much current to feed its increased brightness

So please remember to treat ULTRA EL Wire like the Double Core EL Wire and halve the EL Driver rating when using ULTRA EL Wire

e.g. if the EL Driver is rated for 5-10m Standard EL Wire then that EL Driver can power 2.5m-5m of ULTRA EL Wire

or

if the EL Driver is for 10-30 metres standard EL Wire, then it should power 5-15m ULTRA EL Wire

This remarkable glowing wire is £6 per metre and is also available in these lengths (with connectors attached):

50cm, 1 metre, 3 metre, 5 metre and 10 metre

we currently have it available in these colours: Aqua, Lime Green, Orangy-Red, Pink, GoldDeep Blue and White

Comparing 2.3mm, 3.2mm and ULTRA EL Wire

As with all electroluminescent technology, because the EL naturally glows blue/green the brightest colour of the wire is the Aqua, 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 on it so is ready to simply clip into an EL driver - THE DRIVER HAS TO BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY

A wide selection of EL Tapes, EL Panels, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from in our store

Mini Splitter for EL Wire, EL Tapes, EL Panels - 2 Way up to 6 Way

At Last! An end to that bunching up of wires in your glowing costume misery!

These half sized Splitters are just 20cm long.

Yes you heard it right, there is just 10cm of connector wire from the 'female' connector.

Then there is a junction, and several strands of connector wire head off for a further 10cm and end in a 'male' connector ready to plug into your EL Wire, EL Tapes or EL Panels.

We stock the following Mini Splitters:  2 Way / 3 Way / 4 Way / 5 Way / 6 Way

This Splitter has been painstakingly designed to help all you EL daisy chainers.

When you find a 6 Way Splitter doesn't give enough of an EL hit any more, you're on the slippery slope towards daisy chaining which seems great at first as there are Splitters plugged into Splitters, into Splitters -  and there's gorgeous EL Wire sprouting out here, there and everywhere...

But there is always a price to pay for those who fly so high - yes, I'm talking about the bunching up of connector wires

*ALL the EL Wire we supply comes with a 'Connector' already attached, so they plug straight into a Driver*
