## Description

This one meter long EL Tape has the same connector as our other EL products, it can be driven by either our [EL 2xAA Pocket Inverter](https://www.seeedstudio.com/EL-wire-2xAA-pocket-inverter-p-1103.html) or our [EL USB Inverter](https://www.seeedstudio.com/EL-USB-Inverter-p-1176.html) and controlled by[ EL Shield](https://www.seeedstudio.com/EL-Shield-p-1287.html). It’s a great material for art projects because of its gentle glow, and it’s perfect for situations that require heat sensitivity because EL products don’t release any heat when operating.
