i ran 30 feet of the stuff through my friends car to light up the interior at night. it's pretty sweet, and easy to work with, you just can't bend it to extreme angles.

good alternative to regular neon bars with huge transformers.

up to 15 feet

Would that apply to 1 single wire or several wires? I wanted to know so if i need to buy another inverter... (bad grammar)

i've used EL cables before and that is total length...so you can run several wires w/out a problem

1. Where can you get the inverters? Edit: found one place, if I would just scroll down before posting!



<< can't bend it to extreme angles >>



2. So say, if I were to put it in the car, such as around the stereo and stuff, can it bend for that rounded ~90 degree corner?

Yeah, I see some pictures of it around the dash and stuff in vehicles, now I just gotta get me a new car (planning on it if I can afford it)

How bright is neon wire? OR is it just for outlining stuff? Or is it comparable to neon lighting and cold cat?

it's definitely not as bright as a direct neon bar.

it's a subtle glow...that actually looks much better dead on then it does hidden, casting a glow down.

if you can put it where it can define an edge, it's really quite cool looking
