A5 EL Panel (15cm x 21.2cm) With 4 Connectors & Velcro Backing
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 velcro 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 EL Panel comes with a 4 Way Splitter, free of charge.
All EL Panels will need an inverter to make them glow.
Appropriate Inverters for this Panel are available in the drop down menu of this ebay listing - Select Inverter
NONE - Choose this option if you want to buy just the EL Panel, perhaps you already have an inverter or you are buying several Panels to power from a single inverter.
Mains - This option is if you want to power the inverter from the mains' electricity supply. You can choose from UK, EU or US mains plugs.
Portable 8xAA - The Inverter will come with an 8xAA Battery Box for convenience and portability (batteries not supplied).
8xAA + Mains - This comes with a Battery Box and mains plug. The inverter can be plugged into a nearby socket or it can be powered from the 8xAA Battery Box.
12v Crocodile Clips - If you prefer to use your own 12v source, then the inverter will have Crocodile Clips on the end of a wire.
3000mAh/5000mAh Rechargeable Li-ion (UK only due to postal restrictions) - Go green with one of our rechargeable battery options. The 3000mAh Li-ion has the same power as 8 x fresh AA batteries used in the 8xAA Battery Box. Our rechargeable Li-ion batteries come with a 1A intelligent charger. These batteries are also available in our Additional Items Category of our ebay store
This A5 EL Panel is also available with no backing, sticky and magnetic backings.

Electroluminescent technology has developed a lot since it was researched in the 1950s, to be used in early radar monitors.
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.
Now, EL Panels have proven to be robust and versatile and have many uses from backlighting displays, architectural highlights, theatrical props and safety lighting.
