Adaptable Driver for up to 5 metres EL Wire
This is a super adaptable EL Driver which will light up to 5 metres of EL Wire or 100 squ cm of EL Tapes or Panels.
It DOES NOT have a flashing function - but comes with the option of an On/Off Plunger Switch. As you can see in the dropdown there are a whole selection of power inputs (i.e. mains or batteries).
It has two integral screw fixing points on either side of it so it can be fastened down plus it has a water-tight seal all round it including where the wires come in and out of it. Attached in a sensible place it should withstand all types of weather.
Its dimensions are: 29mm x 19mm x 24mm (L x W x H)
The screw fixing tabs stick out 6mm each on the 19mm side and could easily be cut off if space is vital.
Weight: 25g
EL Driver Options:
Switches:
(1) No Switch: This EL Driver comes without an On/Off Switch, so it will draw power whenever it is connected to a power source
(2) Switched: This Driver has a Trigger Switch on the end of a 1.2 metre cable, which allows the unit to be held on the body while the switch runs down the sleeve to the hand, or similarly the Driver can be mounted somewhere pretty far from the Switch.
We have found it is impossible to guess how you will be using the EL Wire, EL Tape and Drivers, as you'll see in our store, we have tried to give you as many choices as possible. This Driver is no exception as it also has a range of power inputs that hopefully cover most uses:
Connectors:
1) No external connector
Maybe you have your own 12v 5.5mm/2.1mm input you want to use, or you will be using one of the 2 to 1 power supply Splitters.
2) 12v Crocodile Clips
Perfect if you have your own 12v battery you want to use to run this Driver.
3) 8xAA (12v) Battery Box
This 8xAA Battery Box will plug straight into the Driver. It is fairly large (127mm x 72mm x 19mm) but will make this EL Driver portable.
4) 3x18650 (12v) Battery Box
These rechargeable batteries have now become popular and widely available. This Battery Box will plug straight into the Driver. It's dimensions are 7.6cm x 6cm x 1.9cm and will make this EL Driver portable and rechargeable.
5) Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Much smaller and lighter than the Battery Box, these powerful Li-Ion batteries come in a range of sizes:
1000mAh: 81g (6.5cm x 3.7cm x 1.8cm)
1800mAh: 145g (5.6cm x 3.8cm x 3.1cm)
3000mAh: 172g (7.3cm x 5.3cm x 2.2cm)
5000mAh: 265g (6.0cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)
All of these Li-ion Batteries come with an intelligent 1A recharger; you can also choose the 2A Charger, (Li-ion batteries are only available in the UK due to airmail postal restrictions)
6) Mains Powered
This handy PSU can be used to make this EL Driver powered from Mains Electricity (UK, EU or US plugs)
7) Car Lighter Adaptor
This is a fused Car Lighter Adaptor that plugs in to the auxiliary power in the dashboard, making it suitable for powering any of our 12v EL Drivers
8) 2 Way Splitter for 5.5mm Input
If you're thinking of running two of these units off of one power source, then get yourself one of these 2 Way splitters.
*If you want more than one of the power connector mentioned above for your EL Driver, you can buy just the power connector on its own from our ebay store *
Remote Control
You can use this Remote Control Unit by placing the Controller between the Power Source and the Driver. You can use several controllers with just one hand-held remote unit if you want to switch several Drivers at once.

*All the EL wire we supply comes with a connector already attached so it plugs straight into the Driver*
