EL Wire

We bring in all of our EL wire UK direct from the source and stock a huge range of colours and thicknesses. Some of the coolest kit on the planet, EL wire develops a heat free neon glow by passing a charge between its two internal wires. The charge excites the phosphor coating the EL wire UK, causing it to emit light.

The EL wire we stock can be used for any application requiring flexible light – signs, clothing and theatre applications to name but three. Commonly used in car detailing, too, EL wire is remarkably easy to power and will run for a long time from a very limited power source (it can be run on AA batteries if you need to).

Despite its low power usage EL wire UK requires a relatively high AC to get going – so you must run it with an inverter and a sequencer. The sequencer takes the place of transistors, which cannot be used to turn it on and off. Create flashing shapes and details using the EL Sequencer, specially created to program blinks, on and off or PWM pulses in your finished project.
