This is a flexible wire coated in phosphor.It looks a lot like a thin flexible neon tube. They come in many bright colors and can be driven pretty easily with an EL Inverter. EL consists of a few layers. Let's take a look at the anatomy of standard EL wire. Colored, Clear PVC Sleeve -- On the outside is a colored PVC sleeve. Depending on the manufacturer and color, this may be clear or translucent. Clear PVC Sleeve -- A second layer is yet another PVC sleeve. This sleeve is not as thick as the outer layer and is also clear. Corona Wires -- There are two thin wires that wrap around and extend to the end of the EL wire. These are very fine and can sometimes be referred to as angle wires. The wire pair is isolated from the center core. Phosphor Coating -- Applying AC power around the coating creates that nice glowing effect from the phosphor being excited. It also separates the corona wires and core. Core Wire -- At the center of EL wire is another wire.
