Super Bright LE wire

Post by Colonel13 »

I want to take your LE wire and increase its intensity so that it replicates a lightning bolt for 2-4 seconds. I want to use a 110 volt power source to power the LE wire. What do you recommend.

El Wire -

These are the more power El wire inverters we sell that are both 12vDC based. You can use them with the wall plug adapter listed on the bottom.

If you are going to do over 3 meters of El Wire then be sure and sue the #448 inverter.

The way I've controlled El Wire for the fast flash type of effect was using a triac on the AC leads (after the inverter). You could use a transistor or relay on the DC side of the inverter, but it will not give you as much control.

I purchased 3 of your inverters and they work great.

I am looking for High Brightness White Electroluminescent (EL) Wire. 2.5 to 3.5 meters in length. What product number should I order?

Thanks
