## Description

Electroluminescent (EL) wire is a thin, flexible, phosphor-coated wire that emits a bright, even glow when driven by a high-voltage AC source. This 3-metre length of purple EL wire is 3 mm in diameter, making it easy to bend, wrap, and mount for a wide range of lighting and decoration projects. EL wire requires an inverter (sold separately) to convert DC battery power to the AC voltage needed to drive the wire. It produces a distinctive neon-like glow with very low power consumption. Specifications Colour – Purple Length – 3 metres (118") Diameter – 3 mm (0.12") Operating Voltage – 20–220 V AC Optimum Voltage – 120 V AC Frequency Range – 50–5,000 Hz (optimum 1,500–2,000 Hz) Brightness – 30–126 cd/m² (at 120 V, 200–2,000 Hz) Power Consumption – 108–1,032 mW/m (at 120 V, 200–2,000 Hz) Working Life – ~5,000 hours (at 100 V, 400 Hz) Operating Temperature – −10°C to +60°C Ideal For Costumes, cosplay, and wearable lighting Vehicle interior and exterior decoration Signage, safety markers, and event lighting Art installations and craft projects Package Contents 1× Purple EL Wire (3 metres) Note: An EL wire inverter is required to power this wire and is sold separately.
