All About Electroluminescent Materials - EL Wire, EL Tape, EL Panel!

[@TobyHaynes]

This would be fantastic to decorate a kid's bike. Not only would it look cool, it would make them safer when it's getting dark

[@SamSquids]

It would, plus it's been done before with Aircraft

[@LilaLink8P]

i was very confused when she mention "Corona Virus" at 0:27 EDIT: WTH??! Thanks for the Likes/Comments i guess o.Ô

[@pixel5485]

Same

[@lobmin]

Haha I busted out laughing

ME TOO! Really messed with me, because i am waiting for a Mask that uses EL to wear in the outbreak. Spooky

[@navaneethkotian8948]

Same here

[@adirajsingh6738]

She meant corona wire. Try replaying it again and again only then u will notice

[@jonahhache9835]

this youtube channel is making my week. I've been sitting on these costume pieces for months to attach EL and LED strips and these videos are walking me through it all.... Thank you so much Adatruit....

[@MandoThingz]

For being 8 years old this is ahead of its time

[@firstnamelastname3468]

Thank you so much for making this, that is tech explained well/quickly/efficiently! 100+! I know it's an older video, I just got my first piece of el wire to experiment with. SUBSCRIBED! thank you again

[@dang25272549]

I like the idea wrapping the copper sheet around the outter portion , perfect!.

[@joecorneglio6348]

Corona wire😳😳😳

[@975abc]

Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! I love the soildering. You do such a great job it inspires me to keep going and get even better. Thank you.

[@Daiceto]

The soldering job literally made me say "ouch" to be honest. It was painful to watch..

[@andrewfriday2521]

I'm amazed no one has mentioned Tron in these comment lol. I've never seen or heard of this stuff, looks amazing!

[@scanman3555]

One tip, copper and aluminum are not do good things together. Soldering will oxidize.

[@LC-ue6mp]

Great job on the video young lady. You sound smart and look great. Best to you.

[@artusalbi]

thank you for this, now i got the confidence to customized may el wire!

[@thomasdelbert]

I

[@francishosey551]

I could of used this and been a lot happier with one of my projects, 2 months ago....

[@AH-ph3cb]

finally a simple and quick tutorial

[@faizi2441]

0:28 did u say corona wire?? 🤔 6 years ago 😱😱

[@clydesight]

Thanks for explaining how this stuff works!

[@abhie4265]

didn't knew about anything cool like this.... Till today!!!! ✌🤯

[@Mueleski]

Thanks Becky, really cool stuff.

[@Enjerupan]

Cosplayer here- I’m gonna have a field day with this new power

[@SupaBlank]

Gasp, ive seen a couple of these now thanks to Makey Makey, and this show is exactly what i was looking for,subbed. Great work guys.

[@shadowr2d2]

I’m going to add this to my PC. This is a great idea 💡...

[@uvlight]

I already have some EL wire, what I am more interested in is the heat gun at 2:40 . that looks nice, where can I get those?

[@sjheiss]

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I just use a gas lighter with a long neck, like you'd use for candles or whatever, and that works fine.

[@Amsayy]

This stuff would be great for my nieces doll house I'm making

[@kurtbarlow9402]

I'm building a shed as a miniature copy of the house from "Psycho". This will be perfect for the "Bates Motel" sign

[@GeorgeGraves]

+1 on great video. (PS - love that little corner office you have!)

[@weldingideastoolsreview1628]

We can run dairectly ac current 220v

[@ZDragonMasterZ]

Either I did catch it in the video or it wasn't mentioned, but let's say I wanted to make various shapes from the EL panel. Some might need multiple panels connected together and some might need 1 cut in a smaller shape.. My question is what do we do with the exposed cuts? (that's the most thing holding me back). What I'm trying to make is a cosplay prop (a sword to be frank) and put on the blade the EL panel (or tape) in a way that when I press the hilt I will be able to get the sword to glow (as a display of special skill being used). My blades (yeah there is 2 swords) are almost 50cm long and 8cm wide (approx) and they have various shapes.

[@_Jain_S]

The ends are left open U cam use a end cap available with this Its a plastic piece which fits in :D Google el wire end caps

[@electroumit]

Thank you.

[@Portal12345678910]

right on new years right?

[@xmodalloy]

Wow, a cute lass doing some electronics work? Always an awesome thing to see someone who's more than just a cover-girl!

[@rocalberto]

hello i have a question, what do i need to light up 100meter of EL wire . I mean all in one line?

[@maddmavic]

I been using this since it was stupid expensive and hard to get. On custom cars I did decades ago

[@charging_station2]

Cool but when you show the blue one its easy to see those small wires wraped around that big one.

[@ghaithalmuhandis9287]

Amazing thanx 4 your efforts.

[@TobiasSchunk22]

How can I fix the wire on plastic? I want to Illuminate my rollerblates?

[@Silver1080P]

With soldering you want to twist the wires together and heat the bottom of the wires, then place your solder on the top and it will melt on the wire and if there is space, in between which will provide a more solid solder.

[@toby1kenobe]

I tried using EL wire around my guitar for a run of Christmas gigs. Unfortunately the inverter created tons of noise that was picked up by the guitar. Are your inverters better? It looked awesome but was unusable, i would like to try again.

[@BeckyStern]

It's not a function of "better"-- all inverters make noise. You can dampen it with hot glue or foam tape but never eliminate it completely. Maybe try putting the inverter in your pocket or on the neck of the guitar so it won't resonate so much?

[@lisasei-leise287]

The amp in an electric guitar may even pick up the electromagnetic signal from the el-wire. I guess they are basically long antennae emitting a (low powered) signal at the frequency of the inverter.

[@maxvandenbergnl]

Unrelated question; where did you get that awesome

[@luthiao]

I made the guitar neck for this system, but there are noises induced by the controller for the pickups, how do I solve this problem?

[@ladyhamo20]

I want to the instructions to see how to sew EL Wire on a Materiel.

[@worldwidehf]

I need an inverter to add this to a car what kind do I need??

[@angelsinmyarms1]

Is this type of lighting safe around water? Worse case, could it shock someone?

[@gabrielaaronmanceramartine3743]

excuseme in the minute 0:56 you are showing a product like a cicurle of EL material, do you have it?

[@AliGravi89]

Did EL wire have age how many hour it will work life time or what ??

[@andreecristiansaldanacoril5638]

Have u try on laptops? Would it be nice?

[@Cake-je1hu]

Can you change the color like led

[@outerrimstudiosllc7056]

Since this is AC can it just be plugged into an 120V wall outlet? Do you know how bright they can get in Lumens?

[@jerrywi6172]

so this thing is using AC current? how many volts does it operate, can we just plug it into the mains?

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Very nice. I think they used EL in the arcade Space Invaders?

[@cesar_2143]

Can u try to do a LED project with soccer shoes because that would be an awsome project

[@semi5alpha]

Question miss.. Is this applicable outdoor for signages?

[@seekertosecrets]

This gives me an idea for a future project!

[@BlackShadow233]

where can i get more wire? i have an inventor that i bought from you guys this is an amazing product!!!

[@XXXChef22]

I want to use the el wire to try making my mask eyes glow. what would be the best way though to hide the Inverter, also set the wire inside the mask so its comfy when I wear it?

[@FarCaiTubGMbH]

do you suppose these would survive a cycle in a washing machine?

[@adafruit]

+Pyro Sparkle We answered your Q on our live wearables show, and you won the giveaway! kzbin.info/www/bejne/moXaYqhnp891b7sm45s

[@FarCaiTubGMbH]

Oh yay thanks!

[@YetiOnCocaine]

No, hand wash only is recommended according to the chick with the giant nose.

[@rkellermusic]

dude.. giant nose ? wtf, why you gotta hate on her?

[@YetiOnCocaine]

rkellermusic Not hating, she has a huge beak.

[@friedchicken1]

Hey, in terms of voltage consumption, which will drown the batteries the slowest: 1) RGB LED strip lights 2) LED strip neon 3) EL tape or wire ??? :)

[@liammandrake8453]

I want to put it in my room. How do I install it? Does it need to be hooked up to an outlet. Can I hook it up to a switch

[@stevecrawford333]

i'm trying to put el wire in my ski poles without a big battery pack. an in-line double a battery would be ideal to fit it inside the ski pole. I havent been able to find these. does anyone know whats the smallest battery you can use to fit in a 1" diameter pole.. i need some advice or links.. can only find big battery packs

[@rogue_spirit]

0:52 promoting that star though, you must be a loyal Stern! I'm sure your soldering skills would be needed someday lmao

[@ronakkansagara725]

EL prouducts available hear like El panel, El wire, El tape and many more....contact number:- [phone] mail id:- [e-mail]

[@chrisadams7216]

Hey guys I was wondering if you can help im looking at using his inside my computer now I have seen them connected to the power supply of the computer how woukd I do this woukd inveryer would I need please your my last hope to do this

[@tricanproductions6184]

how did they do the Chasing pattern in the begining with all the el wire examples? @0:50

[@letsgetto1millwithoutvids]

So what voltage and current does el wire need and how to make an inverter

[@llantup]

How bright is the el wire? I've an idea with a 4"x6" acrylic block with a design lasered inside, and wondering if it would be bright enough in a regular room?

[@SuperRahil007]

Can el wire connects with car battery 12v

[@D00dst3r]

does the starter pack come with the el wire and an inverter with the y connectors? Or do i have to solder them myself?

[@myakcosplay]

i'm from brazilian but I love your movie thanks for help me in my project in Led!

[@racingislife15]

how bright can you make EL wire?? Looking to use it for some night time identification lights for some racecars.

[@VISITORVENUDAILLOR]

Is it enough bright that it could be seen from at least 50 meters away? I'm on a motorcycle custom project. Then I want to know if this would be ok to install this type of EL wire in the headlights. The biker must be seen from front with just the EL wire turned on.

[@Gleebaer]

Is it safe to hot glue EL wire? Or will the glue damage it?

[@emmybennett37]

+Lee La Launebär its safe it doesnt like to stick in the glue so glue under it then up around it and let the glue dry before moving the wire again

[@BlackShadow233]

i meant to say inverter i bought it from ellumiglow i just want to know where i can get longer wire if possible?

[@12nerdynerd12]

How can you make this light sensitive ? And can you get water on it

[@LynessRogers]

What type inverter would you recommend for a close to full body luminescence?

[@MrSeniorJR]

Any idea if it would be feasible to use this on a pinewood derby car and still come in under 5 ounces?

[@serialtoxic6427]

Could i use it to illuminate an ereader Display ?

[@crazynerfer1928]

What happens when you over volt the battery pack?Like if the bat pack is made for 1.5 v aa,but you use 3 v uktrafire bats what happens?Will the el wire explode fuse or will it be fine?

[@T3RM1N8ER]

Can it be longer than 1 meter? I really love the red el wire tape but cant find any that is 3m.

[@julioroque6453]

¿Donde las puedo conseguir aquí en México?

[@amexican1978]

At what Temo does the phosphate dries? I placed some EL Wire in my Prius dashboard and after 3 months in Summer parts of it dried..?

[@tootimakooti1762]

if we made them into a word to hang on the wall, can it be reusable like can i make it into another word?

[@DragonofDread]

Can you put these together with an arduino circuit board?

[@michaelzajac5284]

It's interesting that. Thank you for Tutor.

[@vkorchnoifan]

I would like to make el flowers. How can I make them using el ?

[@kase6551]

where can i find the moving ones? 0:48 - 0:52

[@Blarmoshlashkin]

EL Motion Wire: coolglow.com/EL-Motion-Wire-Orange-2-Yard/c0/?Google_ProductAds Or you can make your own by twisting a few together and lighting them sequentially.

[@joselaw6669]

They are just twisted

[@julios5179]

how can they be wired for interior of a car without useing too many inverters.?

[@cathyshepard253]

Do you think I could use these for lightning effects?

[@killedtwosherif]

could i make it change color!/ if not what is the best altrnative that could be used in the form of that sheet in 0:20

[@theedgeofbeyondofficial]

Can motion/chasing EL wire be cut to size just as the regular EL wire?

[@miazlo]

is it impac proof or it will break opun impac like a plastic light saber

[@kellymotykiewicz810]

i want to use this on a halloween costume, if i need to cut it and have enough left how would i use the remaining piece of el wire on another project?

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

I have purchased some el wire from you and i love it

[@Trebor_I]

Is this dimmable??

[@maruatarenthlei2750]

How will i make a LED shoe please help me?

[@_Graia]

Can the EL Panel itself be cut and still work?

[@whatufind5585]

Very good product.

[@lifeofmike556]

Are they waterproof?

[@thokari5848]

Maybe test it *before* heat-shrink-tubing it?

[@dirtirobi9062]

How about the difference in just a battery box (dc) and or using an inverter besides the obvious, meaning are the results the same?

[@adafruit]

dirtirobi An inverter is required with EL materials. It will not light up if you hook it up to a DC battery directly.

[@dirtirobi9062]

Adafruit Industries Thank you

[@GoatX88]

Thanks for explaining! very useful video:)

[@alexanderliriano682]

Hey Vicky, my mask just broke today. Would you make a guide to fix it please? Great video :)

[@jorgeluistarazona4543]

Awesome product. Please I'm interested to purchase several kits of it's. Please provide information.
