EL Wire - Purple

This 3-metre purple electroluminescent (EL) wire provides a flexible, continuous glowing line of light for creative electronics, wearable designs, and decorative projects. It produces a uniform 360-degree illumination with minimal heat and very low current draw, making it ideal for makers, hobbyists, costume designers, and educators.

Uniform 360-degree glow

Unlike point-source LED strips, this phosphor-coated wire emits a smooth, unbroken 360-degree light across its entire length. It delivers brightness levels ranging from 30 cd/m2 to 126 cd/m2 depending on the operating frequency.

Flexible 3 mm diameter cable

Enclosed in a durable transparent protective tube, the slim 3 mm cable can be bent and routed around curves, frames, and complex shapes without damaging the internal phosphor core.

Broad AC drive compatibility

The wire operates across an AC voltage range of 20 V to 220 V (with an optimum of 120 V) and frequencies from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz. This wide operating window ensures broad compatibility with standard EL inverters and display drivers.

Low power and durable lifespan

Power consumption ranges from 108 mW/m to 1032 mW/m, enabling long-duration battery-powered use. The wire is rated for approximately 5000 hours of working life at typical operating conditions of 100 V and 400 Hz.

Craft and display applications

The 3-metre purple cable is well suited for stage props, illuminated cosplay costumes, signage outlines, architectural accents, and vehicle interior highlights.
