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

[@dang25272549]

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

[@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

[@scanman3555]

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

[@andrewfriday2521]

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

[@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..

[@thomasdelbert]

I

[@artusalbi]

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

[@Enjerupan]

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

[@joecorneglio6348]

Corona wire😳😳😳

[@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.

[@xmodalloy]

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

[@GeorgeGraves]

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

[@clydesight]

Thanks for explaining how this stuff works!

[@AH-ph3cb]

finally a simple and quick tutorial

[@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.

[@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

[@faizi2441]

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

[@LC-ue6mp]

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

[@abhie4265]

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

[@francishosey551]

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

[@Mueleski]

Thanks Becky, really cool stuff.

[@shadowr2d2]

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

[@aNOMaly_..]

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

[@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]

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@seekertosecrets]

This gives me an idea for a future project!

[@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.

[@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 ??? :)

[@cristianarevalo13]

Fair warning to potential buyers. The so called "Red" EL wire they sell is actually orange. When you get the red EL wire and compare it to the online pictures, the Red EL wire you just got matches the picture of their Orange EL wire. They won't even try to make it right and just ask that you return it. They said "El wire can vary across production so the color is not always the same as it appears on the site". Which I understand but the difference is just too much for a project where you want to match colors.

[@ghaithalmuhandis9287]

Amazing thanx 4 your efforts.

[@myakcosplay]

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

[@frankarmand3378]

This stuff is awesome 🙌 So many applications 👍

[@user-gk2cg2th9h]

The Ronald, she's everywhere!

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

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

[@ImaginationBlue]

I just love you guys! Thank you.

[@electroumit]

Thank you.

[@rutabagasteu]

Folks, think outside the box. Wearables is about non-standard thinking. I would have come up with a mechanical way to connect the two wires and then soldered them. But the shrink tubing is a mechanical connection.

[@michaelzajac5284]

It's interesting that. Thank you for Tutor.

[@GoatX88]

Thanks for explaining! very useful video:)

[@Portal12345678910]

right on new years right?

[@Drc0ffee]

Fantastic vid

[@cesar_2143]

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

[@tristanblock]

Thanks for the informative video, but the background music is really annoying.

[@ruthbagtong2005]

Tick Tock you so overeactin'

[@SevenDeMagnus]

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

[@impracticalinventor1610]

Woaa had no idea this tech existed. Cool!

[@alexanderliriano682]

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

[@AliGravi89]

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

[@maddmavic]

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

[@BlackShadow233]

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

[@whatufind5585]

Very good product.

[@ByteRoster]

Her nails are Immaculate. How.

[@sofiabruiz17]

Just gel

[@sabbadius]

Hello, Im from Cordoba Argentina and would like to know if this EL Wire kit comes with more bright light, I know is brighter, but I need more power of luminescence, maybe is not the el wire the soft bright, maybe is the circuit using only 2 AA batteries? Thank you. for the asap reply.

[@CoolKoon]

If you need more brightness, perhaps you might want to try LED stripes with an opaque coating instead.

[@thokari5848]

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

[@chloemcholoe3280]

I thought it’s a filament! I was so happy :p

[@eeiko321]

I would love to see an EL wire that can change colours

[@sonnytaylor1726]

They have that ones that are Bluetooth that change hella colors

[@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

[@carrefamily01]

you're awesome - i just to make sure you know

[@angelsinmyarms1]

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

[@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

[@ladyhamo20]

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

[@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?

[@unknxwn.4758]

I think Thats Good For my Casemodding Project THX

[@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?

[@maxvandenbergnl]

Unrelated question; where did you get that awesome

[@luis96xd]

Amazing video! This is so cool! :D

[@chibikacchan]

Thank you !!!

[@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?

[@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?

[@letsgetto1millwithoutvids]

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

[@gabrielaaronmanceramartine3743]

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

[@BlackShadow233]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@racingislife15]

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

[@KonbanwaJapan]

We could make those neon things the androids have in Detroit: Become Human with these.

[@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?

[@theedgeofbeyondofficial]

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

[@ahjun2010]

How do you actually put it on the shoes? You need an inverter isn't it? Which means you're carrying inverters for the amount of EL item you're wearing. Who carries inverter with them all around? Do you have certain designs to hide them? Eg, where do you place the inverter for the shoe?

[@adafruit]

Ah Jun the tiny inverters fit great on the tongue of the sneakers or at the back of the heel!

[@ahjun2010]

oh, I didn't know an inverter can be that small. What about the batteries? how many volt is it required to power up and how long will it last? Is there a on/off switch? or is it all the way on for the shoe?

[@weldingideastoolsreview1628]

We can run dairectly ac current 220v

[@semi5alpha]

Question miss.. Is this applicable outdoor for signages?

[@LynessRogers]

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

[@usernamedkjahstill5003]

Come on you know that we're going to make light vest AKA luminous jackets from cyberpunk

[@TobiasSchunk22]

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

[@DragonofDread]

Can you put these together with an arduino circuit board?

[@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?

[@jorgeluistarazona4543]

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

[@adafruit]

+Jorge Luis Tarazona Check out the link in the description!

[@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

[@julios5179]

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

[@TurboHommy]

perfect thank you

[@tricanproductions6184]

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

[@Usagi98962]

cool i like neon lights

[@rocalberto]

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