{"title":"High Brightness Orange Electroluminescent (EL) Wire - 2.5 meters [High brightness, long life]","handle":"high-brightness-orange-electroluminescent-el-wire-2-5-meters-high-brightness-long-life","url":"/products/high-brightness-orange-electroluminescent-el-wire-2-5-meters-high-brightness-long-life","description":"A 2.5 m length of high-brightness orange electroluminescent (EL) wire, pre-cut and pre-soldered with a standard quick-connect plug. This 2.6 mm diameter wire uses the latest phosphor technology to produce twice the brightness of standard 2.3 mm EL wire, emitting 70 cd/m² at 1.5 kHz / 90 V with a half-life of 3000 hours.\n\nEL wire produces a smooth, even glow similar to thin neon. It is highly flexible, holds its shape when bent, and draws only about 10 mA per metre — much less power than LEDs for accent lighting effects.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nHigh Brightness – 70 cd/m², twice as bright as standard EL wire\n\n2.5 m Pre-Cut Length – Pre-soldered with quick-connect plug\n\n2.6 mm Diameter – Flexible, holds shape when bent\n\nLow Power – ~10 mA per metre\n\n3000-Hour Half-Life – Long-lasting brightness\n\nCapacitance: 11 nF/m\n\n\n\nWarning: An AC inverter (~100 V at 2000 Hz) is required to power EL wire and is not included. EL wire operates at high voltage — take care when handling connections.\n\n\n\nNote: EL wire, EL tape, and EL panel are made with different processes — colour and brightness will not match exactly between product types. This wire is not rated for continuous outdoor UV exposure.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nCostumes and cosplay\nAccent and decorative lighting\nSafety vests and visibility applications\nBicycle, vehicle, and home decoration\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Orange high-brightness EL wire (2.5 m, pre-soldered with quick-connect)\n\n\nResources\n\nEL Wire Tutorial (Adafruit Learn)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12195,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-405","price":29.17,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":49,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
