All about Glow Wire...

[cosplay]

---

Electroluminescent wire (often abbreviated to EL wire) or "glow wire" is a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor which glows when an AC voltage is applied to it. It can be used to decorate vehicles or structures, much as rope light or Christmas lights are often used. Unlike these types of strand lights, EL wire is not a series of points but produces an unbroken line of visible light. Moreover, it is extremely thin and flexible, and thus may be used, for example, in clothing or costumes.

Glow Wire is 2.3 mm thick and provides 360° of illumination. It is totally flexible - knottable, can be cut to any length and the cuttings can be re-used. It is safe and gives off no heat. It is regularly used for special effects in movies such as Batman & Star Trek. It has also recently been used in 2 Fast to Furious.

Glow Wire can easily be wrapped around your dashboard, speakers, amps, door cards, around the gear stick, along the piping of your seats, around the home in picture rails, architraves etc.
