Quick Question

[pastywhitefish]

Hello, I'm working on my first ever project with electronics.. keeping it relatively simple, but still need help!

I'm making a coat that I want to have EL wire designs flashing in alternating colors.. so I figured I'd just set the two colors to blink opposite each other. However, I may need quite a bit of both colors. I was thinking about just getting something like this, so I could hook up multiple strands of one color and have them blink simultaneously: http://www.adafruit.com/products/564#Description

I'm just confused as to how much EL wire this could power.. would it support 4 10ft strands of EL wire, or just 10ft total? It sounds like just 10ft total.. but just want to clarify. If its not enough power, would I just get a bigger portable battery/inverter and a four way splitter ?

Hope these are stupid questions, I am totally new to electronics!

Thanks!

That inverter will handle up to 10 ft total. Each inverter has it's own batteries. To power 4x 10 ft lengths from the same battery, you would be better off using one or two of these: http://www.adafruit.com/products/448
One will handle up to 20 ft of high brightness EL or 40 ft of regular EL wire.
