MaxLax EL Wire Portable Set, 9ft Cuttable Battery Pack Neon Glowing Electroluminescent Wire Light kit(Green, Blue, Red, White, Pink) for Halloween Decorations DIY

I work with a lot of devices that contain an electroluminescent backlight of some sort, so I’m quite used to the barely-audible whine that the battery holders produce. Each strand lit up perfectly on the first try, but were also not obtrusively bright, which is easier on my eyes in the dark compared to even my dimmest LEDs. I don’t yet know how I would like to use my EL wire, though I do have a few ideas including using them as underbody lighting for my RC cars, or perhaps emulating neon signs from the 1980s. Overall, I am very pleased with this five-color EL wire set.

These worked really well for a project of mine but I damaged a wire with hot glue and it stopped working. I cut the wire before that part and it started working again luckily. if you use hot glue just make sure its a low temp one, but it might be best to avoid it and use a different glue. I fixed mine by cutting off a portion at the point where the glue was too hot and the light began to work again. The lights are almost impossible to see in a lit room but show super well in the dark.

This is absolute trash. Do not waste your money

Love the color of these but the battery boxs have a high pitch sound most of the time.

Mom and I use these to walk the dogs at night. We all wear one and its so fun! We always get stopped for a fun conversation.

I attached all my wires with gel super glue. It wasnt quite as flexible as Id hope it to be but that was fine. My biggest issue is the amount of work and effort that went into creating my costume and the red wire which were my legs went out after 1 and a half nights of usage. I could tell it was a short because when I squeezes near where it stopped it would try to work but I couldnt get it to stay on. Fortunately it didnt ruin the costume but thats a lot of effort just to have to do it again if I choose to the repeat costume for next year. Other than that, it is a rad way to stand out and get creative. I got a TON of compliments even after I lost my red light legs. I do recommend it on the whole but because its not an easily replaceable asset that went out on me, I cant say I can trust this product entirely.

Work great but the battery pack Hums pretty loud

These are not very bright even in pitch dark. They are very weak. I wanted to use them to create and effect of neon lighting of a clock but you barely see them in the dark and cant even tell they are on in light. Will not buy again.

When wrapping the wire, dye to color it came off and stained my hands red

These lights are not bright and not worth it. Does not come with adhesive at all.
