I think I have decided to give the blue LED light rope stuff a try to decorate my jukebox cabinet with.  Can someone please recommend a reputable place to buy good flexible blue LED rope?

I do not want to buy second market cheap stuff (ie: crap) ...... just looking for a nice product which will do what it says it will do ......   

I do not really want to spend a fortune either ...... thanks.   

Also, if someone actually has this type stuff, can you tell me if it is worth it ..... seems like it would be nice, but hearing from someone first-hand would be nice if possible....

You can get that El wire from almost any computer mod website.  I know Xoxide.com has some.

thanks .... I will look around.

How long does EL wire last?  Does anyone have any of this stuff?   Is it good or not?

Can you plug this into a normal outlet or must you use batteries?

Also, lets say I wrap some art with this EL glow wire stuff.  Will the light from the glow wire be enough to light up the art or does EL glow wire simply light up the wire itself and not really produce enough to light up surrounding stuff?  I image to be lit up most like would be a 6" circle .    If I lined the circle with EL glow wire then would an image within the circle be lit up nicely?
