Maxi 1.5mm EL Wire
This remarkable bendy wire is £5 per metre and is available in the following lengths:
50cm / 1 metre / 3 metre / 5 metre / 10 metre / 25 metre
MAXI EL Wire lives up to its name by bringing together the latest breakthroughs in electroluminescent technology to create a high brightness glowing wire that outshines standard EL Wire, however, its not quite as bright as ULTRA.
At 1.5mm in diameter, you will find while making patterns with this MAXI EL Wire, it will hold itself rigid when bent into its desired shape.
The bend radius of MAXI EL Wire is 5mm which is the same as our standard EL Wire as is the breaking strain at 1kg. Pressure on the MAXI EL Wire should not be more than 1kg; this means it cannot be pinched too hard or trodden on.
These spectacular improvements are due to a thicker copper core giving a greater area of luminosity and helps the EL Wire hold its shape.
MAXI EL Wire uses exactly the same Splitters, Drivers and Sequencers as standard EL Wire.
MAXI EL Wire is available in the following colours:
Light Blue (Tron Blue), Lime Green, Deep Pink, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Deep Blue and White
Comparing Standard, MAXI and ULTRA EL Wire
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 Aqua, 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 also available from our ebay store
This wire comes with a standard connector so simply plugs into any EL Driver - this makes it easy to change between coloured wire on one Driver.
By using Splitters you can also connect different strands to the same Driver.
EL Wire has loads of uses.
It looks amazing when decorating the interior or exterior of cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trailers and karts. It can be used in the interior or exterior of your 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.
Joining Copper 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 us with any questions you may have.
