MaxLax EL Wire Red, 16.4ft/5m Portable Battery Pack Neon Light Strip 360° Cuttable Glowing Rope Lights for Parties, Halloween, DIY Decoration

Nice and bright

The media could not be loaded. Awesome update to my 10-year-old el wire that wasn’t really glowing anymore.- Didn’t realize that the driver has a blink mode, which was a pleasant surprise, as my prior driver doesn’t connect to this one turns out, and the blink mode really helps to conserve battery.- Yes there is a high pitched whine that comes from the driver if you put it right up next to your ear. Think mosquito whine. But if you’re doing anything beyond sitting in a silent room, I can’t see this actually being heard. This is very common for low-voltage drivers. You definitely won’t hear it if you’re at burning man just so you know- The yellow I purchased is incredibly bright in the dark. El wire is definitely for use in the dark. Also, red and pink wire tend to be less bright, because wavelengths of light and science and such.Really stoked to have found this! Halloween mailbox arrow sign is back in action this year thx to this 🙌

The media could not be loaded. I used this for the fun 3D printed sign you see above. It was a ton of fun and I like how it turned out. The light is relatively bright and the tutorial has been really popular. You can track it down using bit.ly/tinkneon if you are interested.The controller is nice, but it does make a bit of a buzzing sound. It does not distract me, but I can see how it would bother some. If you put it in a coat pocket it muffles it. This stuff would be really fun for Halloween costumes.It is cuttable, but I have not found a way to use the ends I cut off. I was hoping I could put a 3V battery between the ends of a cut off piece and still get it to light up.

These were a last second purchase for my sons Halloween costume. Needed something “neon” for an electric eel. They were so easy to use, good value, could trim them to fit easily and they looked so good. They were a little dim in bright light but boy when the lights went out they were the coolest looking lights! Would buy again for something else if I needed to!

I sewed this wire into a vest for a costume and it initially worked great (see photo). However, after just 3 or 4 uses it stopped working. I would return the item except it would take me too long to remove it from the costume. I would have asked the seller for assistance but there isn't any way to contact them. I guess I'm just out of luck. I'd love to give a good review of the item, but I can't use it so now it is just a waste of money

It’s not bright and it does not give off a “max” glow for el wire. I’ve used el wire a lot and bought it to give an eerie glow to a costume, but it did nothing than to appear as a red line in the dark. I’ve had ones give off a high frequency noise and ones that don’t but gave off the desired effect, and this had no noise and no real glow. If I hadn’t already sewn for 6 hours the entire chord into the robe then I’d return it.

I just bought this for a Halloween costume I'm putting together. I may use it later for something else. I dono. But no noise..yet..? Whatever. I ordered white. It works. It's dope👍

Makes an excellent proton blaster laser for a ghostbusters prop lol.
