Good for getting your feet wet... August 24, 2006

...figuratively!
I'd been looking into EL wire as an art medium, but $60 for a starter kit seemed a little high for experientation. If you buy these off-season, though, you can get them for the typical cost of the wire alone ($1.05/foot minimum, as of August '06), which is effectively a free driver ($14).
The driver is a Lytec L8F08; good quality, but a bit bulky if you plan on wearing your wire.
If you don't plan on monkeying with the wire, this is still a good deal off-season. It'd look better on a Christmas tree than most light sets, in my opinion.

The "string" that glows on these things is electroluminescent, and it's about 1/8" thick. If you're familiar with the flat lime green night lights - this is the same technology.
It's flexible enough to follow a 6" diameter curve, and the entire length is evenly illuminated. It's bright enough to be easy to see in the dark, and you'll know it's lit in normal lighting.
I got one to use as a warning light for my telescope at star parties. One of the hazards there is if it's real dark, someone might bump into your equipment. The 14 foot length is enough to go on the ground around the perimeter of a good sized tripod.
Because the light is red, it's not bad for night vision, though I do wish you could vary the brightness to conserve batteries. (Battery life isn't bad, but why use more juice than you need.)
The control box can be set to blink the light about once a second, or to stay lit continuously. I prefer the constant light.
