EL wire arrives

EL wire stands for Electroluminescent wire, this lighting consists of a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor which glows when an electrical current is run through it.

This is some lighting we would like to use to light our wave. It doesn’t appear that bright in daylight, but when you get it in the dark – it looks pretty cool! We ordered this light blue EL wire online. It should hopefully create a good glow for our wave. We want it to glow from within, rather than have a light source outside of it illuminate it.
