DESCRIPTION

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

• 2.5 meters (over 8 ft) of high-brightness, long-life EL wire in Aqua, the

brightest and best looking EL color we carry. 2.5 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

We used this to make our awesome TRON bag

Soldering to EL wire is a little tricky but luckily we wrote a detailed step-by-step

tutorial! You'll need wire strippers, a soldering iron & solder, copper tape and heat

shrink. A third-hand tool is really useful as well.

Please note! EL tape, EL wire and EL panel are made with different processes - the

color and brightness will not be consistent between the different types of EL

products. The EL tape will not match the EL wire or EL panel exactly, they all will be

slightly different colors.
