Post by chartle »

I may need to make a lighted sign that goes in a car window.

The face is 3"x5" laser cut metal. Would I get enough light out of an EL panel if I used that behind the plate. BTW this would be powered by a 12 volt inverter.

Also can I cut a panel down to that size?

You can cut it OK but the amount of light will not get any brighter. You may want to buy one to see if it will suit your purpose.
