El Tape

Post by jec »

I am looking to try and run 3- 20' lengths of El Tape. I am wondering what the best way would be for total power. I have access to run it from am ac source, just need to figure out all the parts needed.

EL tape is about 4x as capacitive as a similar length of wire. You will need a pretty powerful inverter, capable of powering about 240 feet of EL wire. Such inverters exist - here is one: http://www.elwirepros.com/ultra-100-to- ... 00330.html
