    Does anyone know where I could get my hands on some electroluminescent wire? preferably an EL wire kit with the battery pack but I can make one if needs be

    I was thinking maplin but I can see any on maplin.co.uk

    Was looking for some of this myself earlier in the year but changed a design I was working on last minute. These are 2 links I found in my bookmarks. The first one is a US retailer that does some EL products though I don't know if there's a quantity requirement. The second is an Irish speciality lighting place. they dont actually list EL products that I could find on thie site but I suppose you could give em a ring and see if they could suggest a place that would do them. Alternatively there may be kits and the like for sale on ebay.

    I ended up resorting to using my dad's company to attempt to order samples from an english company as I didn't need very much. That was a few months back though and I'm still waiting :p. Best of luck anyway.

    Well I am not biased in one way or another, but I recommend getting it from me, at http://www.neonstring.com :)

    Time to resurrect this thread...

    I don't suppose anyone knows of any shops now stocking EL Wire?... Given that I came up with the idea to make a 'glow stick man costume' only yesterday, I have zero time to order what's needed online to do it using EL wire.

    Originally I was gonna do it with glow sticks.. but now that I've discovered THIS I just wish I'd thought of it sooner!!

    Alternatively are there any common appliances etc that have elwire in them which I could rip out & use!?
