A really tiny portable inverter for EL wire. Powers off of a single AAA battery (not included!), it can drive up to 50cm / 20 inches of our high-brightness EL wire or 10cm x 1cm long piece of EL tape for 3 hours (or longer if the EL wire is less than 50cm long).

There is a switch on the side for selecting steady/blink/off modes. Comes with a 2.5mm pitch female JST connector. Like all EL inverters we've used, the 2000 Hz oscillation is slightly audible.

This inverter can only power 10 CENTIMETERS of 1cm wide tape or a 3cm x 3cm / 1.25" x 1.25" piece of EL panel

To connect a piece EL wire to this, you'll want a male JST SM connector wire if it isn't already attached.

Soldering to EL wire is a little tricky but luckily we wrote a detailed step-by-step tutorial!
