This Pocket EL Wire Inverter runs from a single AAA battery and provides a simple way to power short lengths of EL wire or EL tape, with built-in steady, blink, and off modes for portable lighting projects.
A really tiny portable inverter for EL wire. Powers off of a single AAA battery (not included!), it can drive up to 50cm/20inches of our high-brightness EL wire or 10cmx1cm 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 10cm (2.5inches) of 1cm wide tape or a 3cm x 3cm/1.25" x 1.25" piece of EL panel.
To connect a piece of EL wire to this, you'll want a male 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!
