This handy item is 2.3mm EL wire with sewable tag running along it. 

It is available in the following lengths: 

50cm / 1 metre / 3 metre / 5 metre / 10 metre

(EL Wire needs a Driver to make it glow - available from £6 here)

The 'Sewable tag' is part of the coloured sleeve that surrounds and protects the EL Wire.

The sewable tag makes it very easy to sew the EL Wire into the seam of a garment or if you are modifying a car then it can be pushed into the panel seams. It is also easy to just stitch the tag straight onto a surface.

Sewable EL Wire is available in the following colours:

Light Blue (Tron Blue), Lime Green, Pink, Red, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Deep Blue, Grass GreenTurquoise (being discontinued) and White

Important: This listing is for just the EL Wire alone (with easy-click connector)

We have a large selection of Drivers allowing you to choose from battery, USB or mains powered to sound activated, sequencers and many more!

Unless you already have an EL Wire Driver, please select the EL Driver that is most suitable for your purpose from the 'Drivers/Inverters' category in our ebay store

As with all electroluminescent technology, because the EL naturally glows blue/green the brightest colour of the wire is the Light Blue, Lime Green and White. The least bright are the Red and Purple as they have to be filtered the most to get the colours right.

A wide selection of other EL Tape, EL Panels, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from our ebay store

This EL Wire comes with a standard connector already attached so simply plugs into any EL Driver - this makes it easy to change between coloured wire on one Driver when using a 'Splitter'.

EL Wire has loads of uses; it looks amazing when decorating the interior or exterior of cars, can be used inside and outside of the home and office and can even be threaded into clothes and hats.

We know some of you like to tinker and this wire can be cut into smaller lengths if you want to.

Joining Tape and Heatshrink Tubing for attaching EL Wire is available from our shop if you want to cut the EL Wire and rejoin it or perhaps attach some wire to a different Driver.

Cutting the wire into the length you choose is simple... but rejoining it takes care and attention.

You will definitely need some wire strippers.

It is also recommended placing this joint away from where it is likely to encounter stress (e.g. if it is threaded into clothes that will then be bent and jostled - try to keep this joint out for harms way - e.g. avoid putting it at the elbows and knees).

It is a cliché to say you are only limited by your imagination but with EL Wire it is true!

If you have not seen it before it is like a really long glow stick that lasts over 5,000 hours.

We're sure you will be amazed - feel free to message our team with any questions you may have.
