this youtube channel is making my week. I've been sitting on these costume pieces for months to attach EL and LED strips and these videos are walking me through it all.... Thank you so much Adatruit....
Thank you so much for making this, that is tech explained well/quickly/efficiently! 100+! I know it's an older video, I just got my first piece of el wire to experiment with. SUBSCRIBED! thank you again
Either I did catch it in the video or it wasn't mentioned, but let's say I wanted to make various shapes from the EL panel. Some might need multiple panels connected together and some might need 1 cut in a smaller shape.. My question is what do we do with the exposed cuts? (that's the most thing holding me back). What I'm trying to make is a cosplay prop (a sword to be frank) and put on the blade the EL panel (or tape) in a way that when I press the hilt I will be able to get the sword to glow (as a display of special skill being used). My blades (yeah there is 2 swords) are almost 50cm long and 8cm wide (approx) and they have various shapes.
I tried using EL wire around my guitar for a run of Christmas gigs. Unfortunately the inverter created tons of noise that was picked up by the guitar. Are your inverters better? It looked awesome but was unusable, i would like to try again.
It's not a function of "better"-- all inverters make noise. You can dampen it with hot glue or foam tape but never eliminate it completely. Maybe try putting the inverter in your pocket or on the neck of the guitar so it won't resonate so much?
The amp in an electric guitar may even pick up the electromagnetic signal from the el-wire. I guess they are basically long antennae emitting a (low powered) signal at the frequency of the inverter.
With soldering you want to twist the wires together and heat the bottom of the wires, then place your solder on the top and it will melt on the wire and if there is space, in between which will provide a more solid solder.

Is it enough bright that it could be seen from at least 50 meters away? I'm on a motorcycle custom project. Then I want to know if this would be ok to install this type of EL wire in the headlights. The biker must be seen from front with just the EL wire turned on.
How bright is the el wire? I've an idea with a 4"x6" acrylic block with a design lasered inside, and wondering if it would be bright enough in a regular room?
What happens when you over volt the battery pack?Like if the bat pack is made for 1.5 v aa,but you use 3 v uktrafire bats what happens?Will the el wire explode fuse or will it be fine?
Hello, Im from Cordoba Argentina and would like to know if this EL Wire kit comes with more bright light, I know is brighter, but I need more power of luminescence, maybe is not the el wire the soft bright, maybe is the circuit using only 2 AA batteries? Thank you. for the asap reply.
Not that it’s much help now but, you need an inverter. The high voltage needed to excite the EL wire is in the thousands of volts, and requires 2000hz. Way above the frequency of what AC has. So the solution is just to buy a pre made inverter that you can plug into mains.
i'm trying to put el wire in my ski poles without a big battery pack. an in-line double a battery would be ideal to fit it inside the ski pole. I havent been able to find these. does anyone know whats the smallest battery you can use to fit in a 1" diameter pole.. i need some advice or links.. can only find big battery packs
is it the wire or the inverter? are you using batteries? i'm sure you figured it out by now. i just thought it was rude that some indian scammer was the only person to respond to you. especially when this channel is an advertisement for a business.
This would be fantastic to decorate a kid's bike. Not only would it look cool, it would make them safer when it's getting dark
It would, plus it's been done before with Aircraft
For being 8 years old this is ahead of its time
this youtube channel is making my week. I've been sitting on these costume pieces for months to attach EL and LED strips and these videos are walking me through it all.... Thank you so much Adatruit....
i was very confused when she mention "Corona Virus" at 0:27
EDIT: WTH??! Thanks for the Likes/Comments i guess o.Ô
Same
Haha I busted out laughing
ME TOO! Really messed with me, because i am waiting for a Mask that uses EL to wear in the outbreak. Spooky
Same here
She meant corona wire. Try replaying it again and again only then u will notice
I like the idea wrapping the copper sheet around the outter portion , perfect!.
Thank you so much for making this, that is tech explained well/quickly/efficiently! 100+!
I know it's an older video, I just got my first piece of el wire to experiment with.
SUBSCRIBED! thank you again
Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! I love the soildering. You do such a great job it inspires me to keep going and get even better. Thank you.
The soldering job literally made me say "ouch" to be honest. It was painful to watch..
Cosplayer here- I’m gonna have a field day with this new power
One tip, copper and aluminum are not do good things together. Soldering will oxidize.
I
finally a simple and quick tutorial
thank you for this, now i got the confidence to customized may el wire!
Thanks Becky, really cool stuff.
I'm amazed no one has mentioned Tron in these comment lol. I've never seen or heard of this stuff, looks amazing!
didn't knew about anything cool like this.... Till today!!!! ✌🤯
Thanks for explaining how this stuff works!
I’m going to add this to my PC. This is a great idea 💡...
+1 on great video. (PS - love that little corner office you have!)
Great job on the video young lady. You sound smart and look great. Best to you.
This stuff would be great for my nieces doll house I'm making
I'm building a shed as a miniature copy of the house from "Psycho".
This will be perfect for the "Bates Motel" sign
Gasp, ive seen a couple of these now thanks to Makey Makey, and this show is exactly what i was looking for,subbed. Great work guys.
Wow, a cute lass doing some electronics work? Always an awesome thing to see someone who's more than just a cover-girl!
I already have some EL wire, what I am more interested in is the heat gun at 2:40 . that looks nice, where can I get those?
Yeah, I was wondering that too. I just use a gas lighter with a long neck, like you'd use for candles or whatever, and that works fine.
This gives me an idea for a future project!
Amazing thanx 4 your efforts.
where can i get more wire? i have an inventor that i bought from you guys this is an amazing product!!!
I could of used this and been a lot happier with one of my projects, 2 months ago....
Unrelated question; where did you get that awesome
Either I did catch it in the video or it wasn't mentioned, but let's say I wanted to make various shapes from the EL panel. Some might need multiple panels connected together and some might need 1 cut in a smaller shape.. My question is what do we do with the exposed cuts? (that's the most thing holding me back).

My blades (yeah there is 2 swords) are almost 50cm long and 8cm wide (approx) and they have various shapes.
The ends are left open
U cam use a end cap available with this
Its a plastic piece which fits in :D
Google el wire end caps
Very good product.
I have purchased some el wire from you and i love it
Awesome product. Please I'm interested to purchase several kits of it's. Please provide information.

right on new years right?
Very nice. I think they used EL in the arcade Space Invaders?
i'm from brazilian but I love your movie thanks for help me in my project in Led!
0:52 promoting that star though, you must be a loyal Stern! I'm sure your soldering skills would be needed someday lmao

Cool but when you show the blue one its easy to see those small wires wraped around that big one.
With soldering you want to twist the wires together and heat the bottom of the wires, then place your solder on the top and it will melt on the wire and if there is space, in between which will provide a more solid solder.
Woaa had no idea this tech existed. Cool!
I made the guitar neck for this system, but there are noises induced by the controller for the pickups, how do I solve this problem?
Is this type of lighting safe around water? Worse case, could it shock someone?
Since this is AC can it just be plugged into an 120V wall outlet? Do you know how bright they can get in Lumens?
We can run dairectly ac current 220v
I want to put it in my room. How do I install it? Does it need to be hooked up to an outlet. Can I hook it up to a switch
Fantastic vid
Thank you.
Thanks for explaining! very useful video:)
It's interesting that. Thank you for Tutor.
where can i find the moving ones? 0:48 - 0:52

Or you can make your own by twisting a few together and lighting them sequentially.
They are just twisted
This stuff is awesome 🙌 So many applications 👍
does the starter pack come with the el wire and an inverter with the y connectors? Or do i have to solder them myself?
Have u try on laptops? Would it be nice?
Question miss.. Is this applicable outdoor for signages?
How can you make this light sensitive ? And can you get water on it
I just love you guys! Thank you.
Can u try to do a LED project with soccer shoes because that would be an awsome project
do you suppose these would survive a cycle in a washing machine?
+Pyro Sparkle We answered your Q on our live wearables show, and you won the giveaway! ua-cam.com/video/dTw1u1rjB9Y/v-deo.htmlm45s
Oh yay thanks!
No, hand wash only is recommended according to the chick with the giant nose.
dude.. giant nose ? wtf, why you gotta hate on her?
rkellermusic Not hating, she has a huge beak.
hello i have a question, what do i need to light up 100meter of EL wire . I mean all in one line?
Her nails are Immaculate. How.
Just gel
how bright can you make EL wire?? Looking to use it for some night time identification lights for some racecars.
Any idea if it would be feasible to use this on a pinewood derby car and still come in under 5 ounces?
i want to use this on a halloween costume, if i need to cut it and have enough left how would i use the remaining piece of el wire on another project?
Hey Vicky, my mask just broke today. Would you make a guide to fix it please? Great video :)
Could i use it to illuminate an ereader Display ?
I would like to make el flowers. How can I make them using el ?
Do you think I could use these for lightning effects?
Can it be longer than 1 meter? I really love the red el wire tape but cant find any that is 3m.
At what Temo does the phosphate dries? I placed some EL Wire in my Prius dashboard and after 3 months in Summer parts of it dried..?
Are they waterproof?
Is it enough bright that it could be seen from at least 50 meters away? I'm on a motorcycle custom project. Then I want to know if this would be ok to install this type of EL wire in the headlights. The biker must be seen from front with just the EL wire turned on.
What type inverter would you recommend for a close to full body luminescence?
How bright is the el wire? I've an idea with a 4"x6" acrylic block with a design lasered inside, and wondering if it would be bright enough in a regular room?
Can the EL Panel itself be cut and still work?
I think Thats Good For my Casemodding Project THX
How can I fix the wire on plastic? I want to Illuminate my rollerblates?
if we made them into a word to hang on the wall, can it be reusable like can i make it into another word?
How about the difference in just a battery box (dc) and or using an inverter besides the obvious, meaning are the results the same?
dirtirobi An inverter is required with EL materials. It will not light up if you hook it up to a DC battery directly.
Adafruit Industries Thank you
could i make it change color!/ if not what is the best altrnative that could be used in the form of that sheet in 0:20
how did they do the Chasing pattern in the begining with all the el wire examples? @0:50
Did EL wire have age how many hour it will work life time or what ??
What happens when you over volt the battery pack?Like if the bat pack is made for 1.5 v aa,but you use 3 v uktrafire bats what happens?Will the el wire explode fuse or will it be fine?
I need an inverter to add this to a car what kind do I need??
Can you put these together with an arduino circuit board?
Hello, Im from Cordoba Argentina and would like to know if this EL Wire kit comes with more bright light, I know is brighter, but I need more power of luminescence, maybe is not the el wire the soft bright, maybe is the circuit using only 2 AA batteries? Thank you. for the asap reply.
If you need more brightness, perhaps you might want to try LED stripes with an opaque coating instead.
i meant to say inverter i bought it from ellumiglow i just want to know where i can get longer wire if possible?
Is it safe to hot glue EL wire? Or will the glue damage it?
+Lee La Launebär its safe it doesnt like to stick in the glue so glue under it then up around it and let the glue dry before moving the wire again
excuseme in the minute 0:56 you are showing a product like a cicurle of EL material, do you have it?
If I want to run this from the mains, what do I need to step it down. Presumably, I would not need an inverter as it is already AC
Not that it’s much help now but, you need an inverter. The high voltage needed to excite the EL wire is in the thousands of volts, and requires 2000hz. Way above the frequency of what AC has. So the solution is just to buy a pre made inverter that you can plug into mains.
Can you change the color like led
i'm trying to put el wire in my ski poles without a big battery pack. an in-line double a battery would be ideal to fit it inside the ski pole. I havent been able to find these. does anyone know whats the smallest battery you can use to fit in a 1" diameter pole.. i need some advice or links.. can only find big battery packs
Where can I get in touch with shop or a person that do this in SF Ca ?
Can el wire connects with car battery 12v
this stuff is incredible. how do I get into it?
+jeremy lashway one foot at a time
Can it glow in day sun light ????
you're awesome - i just to make sure you know
I been using this since it was stupid expensive and hard to get. On custom cars I did decades ago
The Ronald, she's everywhere!
when i turn on el wire it makes sounds like mosquito does, can i do anything with that?
EL prouducts available hear like El panel, El wire, El tape and many more....contact number:- +918866772243 mail id:- sales.lightelindia@gmail.com

Maybe test it *before* heat-shrink-tubing it?
