EL wire starter pack – Blue 2.0 meter

Product Overview

A little bundle to get you started! This project pack contains:

• 2.0 meters of high-brightness, long-life EL wire in Blue. 2.0 meters is the maximum amount for the pocket driver – it is cut and soldered so it’s ready to go!
• Pocket EL inverter runs on 2 AA Alkaline or rechargeable batteries (not included)
• 2 inches of heat shink, both 1/8″ and 1/4″ for protecting the EL wire after soldering if you end up wanting to change the wire up
• 2 inches of copper tape, used when soldering EL wire
• 2 inches of foam tape, we use this to pad the inside of the inverter to quiet it down

NOTE: Do not turn on the inverter without the EL Wire.  This will burn out the inverter.

We used this to make an awesome TRON bag 

Soldering to EL wire is a little tricky but luckily Adafruit wrote a detailed step-by-step tutorial! You’ll need wire strippers, a soldering iron & solder, copper tape and heat shrink.
