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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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) Self Stripping Wire Connectors (2)

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)

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

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

You can use several controllers with just one hand-held remote unit if you want to switch different drivers at once

The Remote Control Unit is not available in the drop down menu above - please click on the link to get the full details of this handy EL Accessory and add it to your basket

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

3 x 18650 Battery Box(1)

This handy item is a battery box that takes 3 x 18650 batteries and gives an output of just under 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.*

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.

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

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 twisted into ringlets

EL Wire twisted into a zig-zag pattern

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

The colours we have at present are:
Light Blue (Tron Blue), Mint Green and White

In these lengths:

50cm, 1metre, 3metre, 5metre, 10metre, 25metre and 30metre

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

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
