 * Electroluminescent (EL) wire is a thin cable, about the size of your mouse cord, that will light up in one of a range of colours when switched on. || //**[[image:decorations.jpg width="114" height="89"]]**// ||
 * The wire is flexible, can be used in lengths of up to 100 metres, does not get hot and uses minimal electricity. When connected to a miniature inverter circuit, EL wire can be powered by a 3 volt battery. || //**[[image:bag.jpg width="115" height="100"]]**// ||
 * EL wire is often compared to neon but differs in that it is flexible and much thinner. It incorporates the same technology you see used for mobile phone screens, car radios etc. || //**[[image:sheffwed.jpg width="115" height="98"]]**// ||
