High Brightness Aqua Electroluminescent (EL) Wire - 2.5 meters [High brightness, long life]

Electroluminescent (EL) wire produces a beautiful aqua (blue-green) glow that looks like thin neon lighting. This high-brightness version uses the latest technology and is twice as bright as standard 2.3mm EL wire, emitting 150 cd/m² at 1.5 KHz/90V with a half-life of 3,000 hours of continuous use.

EL wire consists of a stiff wire core coated with phosphor and covered in a protective PVC sheath. When an AC signal is applied, it glows brightly. Very bendable and holds its shape — you can curl it around your finger. It's an easy, low-power way to add glow to any project.
