This is our most popular range of EL Panels, and is based on the UK 'A' paper sizes which has a useful property. The width of the panel is the same as the length of the panel one size smaller (e.g the width of A4 is the length of A5).
EL Panels have a small unlit section running around the edge, making the lit area slightly smaller than the Panel, please check the details on each Panel if this makes a difference to you.
Panel Size: 150mm x 212mm (5.8 x 8.3 inches)
Lit Size: 142mm x 205mm
Lit Area: 300cm2
These A5 EL Panels are available in White, Light Blue, Green, Red or Deep Pink and have a sticky backing (used to stick it to different surfaces).
This Panel has 4 connectors, one on each corner which makes it possible to cut the Panel into four different pieces. Each of them will have a connector ready to go into a Splitter or inverter, or you can simply snip off three of the connectors and use the whole Panel.
This Panel comes with a 4 Way Splitter free of charge.
All EL Panels will need an inverter to make them glow.

Electroluminescent technology is low power and eco-friendly and used for all types of lighting projects.
Electroluminescent Panels are thin (less than 1/2mm), flexible laminated sheets that glow on one side.
They can also be trimmed if you need to create a particular size or shape.
Electroluminescent 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.
