Powerful 12v Excel Driver for 20m - 50m EL Wire

EL Driver 12V Input Options
We have found it is impossible to guess how you will be using the EL Wire, EL Tape and Drivers, so you will see on this website 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 cover most potential uses.
Please select from the drop down menu.
1) NO EXTERNAL CONNECTOR
Maybe you have your own 12V 5.5mm/2.1mm input you want to use, perhaps you will be using one of the 2-way power splitters?
Whatever your reason, this option gives you just the driver (as in the pic above) - without any external power connectors like the rest of these listed below.
2) Crocodile Clips
Perfect if you already have your own 12V battery to run this driver
This 8 x AA 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) Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
These small but powerful Li-ion batteries come in a range of sizes, but for this size of driver it is recommended to use the largest 5000mAh
5000mAh: 265g (6.0cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)
The Li-ion Battery comes with an intelligent charger (*Li-ion Batteries are only available to the UK due to airmail postal restrictions)
5) Mains Powered
This handy PSU can be used to make this EL Driver powered off of UK Mains Electricity
6) 2 way Splitter for 12V Power Input (5.5mm)
If you're thinking of running two of these units from one power source, then get yourself one of these splitters.
Please note this is a Splitter from the battery to the driver, so you would only need one battery pack for 2 x Drivers.
Most people also use Splitters that come from the Driver to the EL Wire (so 1 x Driver can power many EL Wires) - you can get those types of EL wire splitters here
*If you want more than one of the power connectors mentioned above for your EL Driver, they can all be found in our Accessories section, or just click the description you want and be taken to its own page*
Remote Control
You can use this Remote Control Unit by connecting 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.
The Remote Control Unit is not available in the drop down menu above - please click on the link to get the full details of this handy EL Accessory and add it to your basket.
Of course, the EL Wire being driven by this unit does not have to be in one single piece.
You could, for example, use 15 x 3m pieces of EL Wire and daisy chain lots of splitters and extenders together to get the effect you need.
(It is only the EL Wire that counts towards its 50m capacity - using many metres of splitters and extenders does not affect the amount of EL Wire it can make glow).
** REMEMBER TO SWITCH OFF THE EL DRIVER AND NOT JUST UNPLUG THE EL WIRES FROM THE DRIVER - The EL Driver will keep running while it is attached to a power source, whether there is EL Wire or EL Tape attached to it or not**
A wide selection of other EL Tape, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from our ebay store
EL wire has loads of uses
It looks amazing when decorating the interior or exterior of cars, can be used inside and outside houses and can even be threaded into clothes and hats
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.
