Customer Reviews

The controller does make a slight high pitched buzz, but only noticeable in a dead quiet environment. Matthew Adams  |  16 reviewers made a similar statement
I was expecting this to be larger in size, as it is a very very thin wired light. Daniel Murphy  |  16 reviewers made a similar statement
The clip broke off on it's second use, and the battery pack won't stay closed. Chance Connelly  |  12 reviewers made a similar statement

4.0 out of 5 stars Glowing Goodness October 27, 2011
By Warrant

The packaging is small, the wire was coiled in a 2" roll. The battery pack uses 2 AA's and is simple to open and close. The battery pack has a LED light next to the on/off button to indicate the mode. The flashing LED matches the pattern of the wire; steady, strobe, flash. The connectors between the battery pack and el-wire are small and not very durable. It took a little fidgeting to get them plugged together, but if you treat them like any other small electronic part, you'll be ok.

The el-wire feels like fish tank tubing, and has a small plastic cap at the end. It is flexible and bends easily, even though I didn't see how far it could bend and possibly breaking it. The glow is evenly smooth for the entire length of the wire.

It glows bright in a dark room, can be seen ok in a dim lit room, and will be virtually undistinguishable in a well lit place or daylight. The strobe setting is more like a fast on/off mode, strobing about 6 times second. The flash mode flashes once per second.

My daughter wanted to be a Water Bender (the girl from the movie, Avatar, The Last Airbender). Wifeypoo made the costume, and I used this wire to create a swirl of blue water around her. Using 9 feet of 14-gauge wire from the hardware store (about the thickness of a coffee stir straw), and using clear scotch tape, I taped the el-wire to the coil of 14-gauge wire. There was enough at the top to make a small swirl, with the battery pack clipping to her collar behind her head. The wire is attached to her right shoulder, goes behind her back attaching to her left hip, continues across the front, and goes behind her again eventually stopping at her left leg. Sort of a swirl-of-water-bending-around-her effect. Additionally, I'll layer some light blue sheer fabric to the wire to give it some girth.

There is a slight high-pitched whine sound coming from the battery pack that could be annoying in a quiet room. But with any other nearby noise or activity around, it will fade to the background.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVEN COOLER THAN I IMAGINED! May 20, 2011
By Kerry
Amazon Verified Purchase
These El Wires are so f***ing cool, they are very bright and have a great color. I ordered two a week ago and I am ordering two more today. The only slightly negative thing, which really doesn't matter enough to be 4 stars, is yes there is a high pitched whine/ringing sound but its not bad at all. Sure if you are in a room alone you can barely hear it, but if you are at a concert (what I intended to use mine for) it doesn't matter whatsoever. So don't be discouraged, this things are amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars works as advertised
It's pretty a rather bright light so make sure you put it at a level below people's eyeline. I went partying with it and had no problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars LOUD
Buzzing is super loud so be aware of that. Would be good for a rock show I suppose, as long as there was something to cover up the noise.

The lights didn't even work, and I have never been so unsatisfied. I needed these lights to work, now I'm going to use another vendor in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my new favorite toys!
This EL Wire stuff is really fun to use in any DIY projects. It does have an audible tone/hum based on the frequency of the current but some may not be able to hear it. Read more
