Standard Splitter for EL Wire, EL Tapes, EL Panels- 2 Way up to 6 Way
These Standard splitters make your glowing costume or EL project exactly how you want.
These Splitters allow you to run up to six separate strands of EL wire from just one Driver/Inverter (or another Splitter).
The Splitter works for EL Wire, EL Tape or EL Panels.
The Splitter is 40cm in total length and the connector wire is 20cm long.
These Splitters are available in: 2 Way / 3 Way / 4 Way / 5 Way/ 6 Way
*ALL the EL Wire, EL Tapes and EL Panels that we supply comes with a 'Connector' already attached so they plug straight into a Driver*
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 of the home and can even be threaded into clothes and hats.
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 you may have.
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 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 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

This EL Wire comes with a standard connector already attached so simply plugs into any EL inverter - this makes it easy to change between coloured wire on the same driver.
By using splitters you can also connect as many strands of the glowing wire to the same driver
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
There are How-tos and a forum on the site to get some great tips

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
Comparing Standard, MAXI and ULTRA EL Wire
As with all electroluminescent technology, 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 EL Wire has a connector already attached so is ready to simply clip into an EL Driver - THE DRIVER HAS TO BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY
A wide selection of other EL Tapes, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from our store.
2.3mm diameter EL Wire @ £2.50 per metre
The 2.3mm diameter Electroluminescent wire is our cheapest standard EL Wire,
it is available in any of these colours:
Light Blue (Tron Blue), Purple, Deep Blue, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Grass Green, Lime Green, and White
300 metre lengths are only available in Lime, Light Blue, Deep Blue, Red and WhiteWhite
2.3mm diameter EL Wire is available in the following lengths:
1 metre, 3 metre, 5 metre, 15 metre, 10 metre, 100 metre and 300 metre

These tiny EL Panels are really handy and can have so many uses.
They run off any EL Driver and you can 'daisy chain' splitters to have as many as you want lit up.
The item we offer to you is a versatile 2.4cm wide and 4.5cm long Electroluminescent Panel.
This panel comes with 10.5cm's wire lead and 9cm's of super thin FFC tape that's even thinner that the panel for great flexibility.
With a driver, these glow very brightly making them ideal for the eye piece in masks.
The panel itself is less than half a millimetre thick but is not see-through.
White, Light Blue, Red or Green
EL Tape is an incredibly versatile material it can be bent and wrapped around things.
It can even have holes and shapes punched into it and be cut to your chosen shape.
