Capacity: 50 to 300cm2 EL Panels
– or 5 to 15m of EL Wire
Dimensions: 4 x 3.2 x 4cm
This EL Inverter is suitable for between 50 and 100square cm of EL Panel or 5 to 15 metres of EL Wire.
It has been potted inside epoxy resin which keeps it water resistant as well as helping keep the whistle of transformer to a minimum.
There is a choice of either a plunger switch on a 1.2m long cord or if you choose ‘No Switch’ then it will come on when you attach it to a power source.
(Please be aware that the inverter should always be attached to some EL Tape/Panel or EL Wire when it has power to it, else it may overheat).
The Inverter has 2.1/5.5mm jack plug – this is a standard 12v connector.
You will find these compatible Power Inputs options in the drop down selection:
Only the Inverter:
You may already have your own 12v input with a 2.1/5.5mm connector,
or you may choose to snip off the connector and wire it directly into a 12v source
Crocodile Clips
This is usually the solution if you want to run the inverter off your own 12v battery
8xAA Battery Box
To make this inverter portable then just plug in this Battery Box.
Please note that rechargeable AA batteries are lower voltage than standard batteries so cannot really be used effectively with this battery box.
Li-ion Battery
These are smaller and lighter than the Battery Box, the 3000mAh Li-ion battery gives the same life as the 8xAA Battery Box with fresh alkaline batteries
1800mAh: 145g (5.6cm x 3.38m x 3.1cm)
3000mAh: 172g (7.3cm x 5.6cm x 2.2cm)
5000mAh: 250g (5.3cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)
All of these Li-ion Batteries come with an intelligent recharger
Mains Plug
This will convert mains electricity to 12v so it can be used as a handy input for this inverter

Electroluminescent technology is low power and eco-friendly and used for all types of lighting projects.
The panels are flexible and as thin as a laminated sheet of paper.
They can also be trimmed if you need to create a particular size or shape.
Electroluminescent Panels are thin (less than 1/2mm) laminated sheets that glow on one side.
The technology has developed a lot since it was researched in the 1950s to be used in early radar monitors.
Now, EL Panels have proven to be robust and versatile and have many uses from backlighting displays, architectural highlights, theatrical props and safety lighting.
