Electroluminescent wire

Electroluminescent wire (often abbreviated to EL wire) is a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor which glows when an alternating current is applied to it. It can be used in a wide variety of applications—vehicle and/or structure decoration, safety and emergency lighting, toys, clothing etc.—much as rope light or Christmas lights are often used. Unlike these types of strand lights, EL wire is not a series of points, but produces a 360 degree unbroken line of visible light. Its thin diameter makes it flexible and ideal for use in a variety of applications such as clothing or costumes.

Structure

EL wire's construction consists of five major components. First is a solid-copper wire core, coated with phosphor. A very fine wire is spiral-wound around the phosphor-coated copper core. This fine wire is electrically isolated from the copper core. Surrounding this "sandwich" of copper core, phosphor, and fine copper wire is a clear PVC sleeve. Finally, surrounding this thin, clear PVC sleeve is another clear, colored translucent, or fluorescent PVC sleeve.

An alternating current electric potential of approximately 90 to 120 volts at about 1000 Hz is applied between the copper core wire and the fine wire that surrounds the copper core. The wire can be modeled as a coaxial capacitor with about 1 nF of capacitance per foot, and the rapid charging and discharging of this capacitor excites the phosphor to emit light. The colors of light that can be produced efficiently by phosphors are limited, so many types of wire use an additional fluorescent organic dye in the clear PVC sleeve to produce the final result. These organic dyes produce colors like red and purple when excited by the blue-green light of the core.

A resonant oscillator is typically used to generate the high voltage drive signal. Because of the capacitance load of the EL wire, using an inductive (coiled) transformer makes the driver a tuned LC oscillator, and therefore very efficient. The efficiency of EL wire is very high, and thus a few hundred feet of EL wire can be driven by AA batteries for several hours.

Electroluminescent material is available in sheet and wire form, and both varieties have become more suited to consumer use since their invention. The first EL products were made of thick, inflexible and fragile materials. Electroluminescent wire, for example, first hit the scene encased in glass or ceramic. There was a significant problem with this design. Neither glass nor ceramic is malleable: you can't coil, wrap or stretch it into new and interesting shapes. This significantly reduces EL wire's usefulness. Encasing the wire in a pliable, plastic coating easily solved the problem by making EL wire flexible, waterproof and therefore ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

EL wire's popularity stems from its versatility and efficiency. It's widely used by artists and hackers to illuminate clothing (think glowing suits), bicycle spokes and turntables. It's ubiquitous at festivals such as Burning Man, where people create towering structures adorned with colorful strands soldered together. World-renowned lighting artist Marcus Tremento uses EL wire as a means to blend modern design and art. EL wire also has a decorative safety function when it comes to stairs, walkways and bike helmets. Emergency responders have even used EL wire tape to illuminate accident areas. Whether you buy it or make it yourself, use it for safety lighting or bright clothing, EL wire is a great choice for creative lighting projects large and small.
