EL Wire - Orange

This orange Electroluminescent (EL) Wire is a flexible 1-metre decorative lighting cable that delivers a continuous, neon-like glow along its entire length. Featuring a slim 3 mm profile and low power consumption, it is ideal for makers, cosplayers, and educators building wearables, illuminated signage, and creative electronics projects.

Uniform 360-degree linear glow

Unlike point-source LEDs, this phosphor-coated copper strand produces a smooth and unbroken orange light across its entire surface. The protective transparent outer tube ensures consistent illumination without visible hotspots or dark intervals.

Flexible 3 mm profile

With a narrow 3 mm diameter, the strand easily bends around tight corners, architectural contours, and fabric seams. Its flexible construction allows makers to form intricate decorative shapes, outlines, and lettering in compact spaces.

Wide AC operating range

The wire functions across an AC operating voltage range of 20V to 220V with frequencies spanning 50Hz to 5000Hz, reaching optimal performance around 120V at 1500Hz to 2000Hz. Depending on driver frequency and voltage, glow brightness scales between 30cd/m² and 126cd/m².

Low electrical power consumption

Operating with minimal power draw, the wire consumes between 108mW/m and 1032mW/m when driven at 120V. This high efficiency makes it well suited for integration with compact, battery-powered EL inverters.

Durable operating lifespan

Rated for approximately 5000 hours of working life under typical operating conditions of 100V and 400Hz, the cable offers long-term reliability. It is built to withstand operating and storage temperatures from -10°C to +60°C.

Broad creative application support

This luminous strand is suited for wearable tech, vehicle interior accents, advertising displays, safety markings, and custom robotics projects requiring lightweight linear illumination.
