A 12V EL (electroluminescent) wire and tape inverter for fixed installations and larger EL projects. Unlike pocket-sized 2×AA inverters, this brick-style inverter runs from a 12V DC input — connect it to a wall adapter for permanent setups, or use a larger battery pack (such as 8×AA) for extended portable use.

With twice the power of a 2×AA pocket inverter, it can drive significantly more EL material — up to 6 metres of high-brightness EL wire, 12 metres of standard EL wire, or approximately 100 cm² of EL panel/tape.

Key Features

  • 12V DC Input – Works with wall adapters or larger battery packs
  • High Capacity – Drives up to 6 m of high-brightness EL wire or 12 m of standard EL wire
  • EL Tape/Panel Support – Up to 100 cm² of panel or 1 m of 1 cm wide tape
  • Twice the Power – Double the output of a standard 2×AA pocket inverter

EL Material Capacity

  • High-brightness EL wire – Up to 6 metres (20 feet)
  • Standard EL wire – Up to 12 metres (40 feet)
  • EL panel/tape – Up to 100 cm² (e.g., 10 × 10 cm panel or 1 m of 1 cm wide tape)

Ideal For

  • Fixed EL installations (signs, costumes, decorations)
  • Larger EL projects exceeding pocket inverter capacity
  • Portable projects with extended battery packs

Package Contents

  • 1× 12V EL Wire/Tape Inverter
Warning: This inverter is designed for battery or wall adapter use only. It is not rated for direct 12V car power.
Tip: If you hear a hum from the inductor, you can open the case and apply acrylic paint over the inductor/transformer to dampen the noise.
