ELwire is AMAZING. (Luminescent Halloween costume part one of three)

Electro-luminescent (or EL) wire is what has evolved from "Disco Lighting". I purchased and am wiring this for a Halloween costume. If I bought it for myself, I wouldn't have gotten hot pink. I bought this from http://store.glowire.com . If you purchase this, be sure you are buying the correct inverter or "driver" to power the length of wire. You can order predetermined lengths, or special order your own length. I almost bought the 20' section shown with an inverter meant to power four, five foot sections. Read everything carefully before you order and wire. When is coming out of the drive is high-voltage. I am not liable if you damage stuff and/or your self.

Theres a last mega question: I want the F12 Driver at Glowire. Its 12V and 4 ports which is meant for car. but i wanted to use in costume. Now energizer provides 12V (pretty much size of AA) battery. Can 4 wires run on that single battery for 2 hours ? Glowire.com replied and said they have no idea i would have to try it, which is dumb because who will spend $100 to "try". plz help and big big thanks

@babanachiket That depends on how many feet of this stuff you're ordering. The four port means you need to light four separate lengths simultaneously. I know that 12v battery exists. It's about the width of a AAA and half the length, right? They're mainly used in remote controls, and probably not going to give you the continuous hour life you want...Although, I couldn't kill the 12v worth of AAs, tell me how it goes. I've been using either 5541-2K , or 5681-2K, not sure which. PM me, char-limit

@babanachiket YUP.

i really need your input right now.i have selected EL WIRE COSTUME as my final year project. this 12V driver , can it run on portable 12V battery?

[silntdoogood]

@babanachiket It's hard to link in the comments...so I'm not going to try. If you go to Radio Shack or an equivalent parts supplier, you can find a 12v AA battery holder, on a 9volt snap. What I did was run the power connections to a 9v snap, and then I could connect a 9 volt, or I could push 12 volts via 8 double-A's (of which, I have a small plethora of rechargeable AAs) You loose some brightness with a 9v.

Best of luck to you.

@dranomania I've never seen this at Wal-Mart, but different ones have different selections. Either way, I can't imagine they have as large of a selection.

[dranomania]

this is cool stuff you can purchase this at wal-mart... well, in the bay area, but nonetheless!
