Make sure to choose an inverter from the list below if you are buying EL Wire sections individually. All El Wire inverters and sequencers emit a noise when they are on. This is a high pitched whine, near the edge of what most people can hear. This doesn't mean you can't hear it.

Place your inverters and sequencers accordingly. For clothing, we recommend a pocket. For indoor projects, place your inverter behind a solid object to reduce or eliminate the sound.

Destroying EL Wire

The common way that EL Wire gets destroyed is continuous bending. On costumes, this is typically not such a problem since the wire is bending over a long radius. It becomes trouble when EL Wire is wrapped tightly around a flexible object, such as a fiberglass bike flag pole. The continuous motion coupled with the tight windings breaks down the phosphor core in the wire. Other ways to destroy EL Wire include very sharp bends, chafing on sharp corners of other objects, and stretching. EL Wire is tough, but it cannot withstand everything...
