## Description

EL (Electroluminescent) wire is a cool flexible wire which will glow when under a high AC voltage!

Electroluminescent wire is simply a wire coated in phosphor and when a correct voltage is applied the wire lights up!

Use it for indoor or outdoor lighting or for toys and arts its often used for costuming, decoration, accent lighting, safety vests, bicycle/motorcycle/car/boat/home decoration, signs, etc! This wire is not designed explicitly for outdoor use so it will fade if continuously exposed to UV.
