Does EL Wire "glow"?
unclet:
One place I am thinking of putting EL-Wire would be on the inside of a black speaker cover which is mounted to MDF board. Will the blue light of the EL-Wire light up the inside grill of the speaker good enough?

I would say no it would not glow the way you want unless you put 5 or 6 strips of it back and forth. Here is some work I did with EL wire. The famed one is coiled behind 4 layers of printed transparences.

You'd be better off using a cold cathode... They're very cheap and come in a variety of colours. You can get them from most PC Case Mod suppliers. Alternatively you could use the high intensity LED's that Randy at Groovy Game Gear sells.

Thanks for the picture ..... I agree .... I do not believe EL-Wire really "glows" .... it simply lights up only.
I should have been smart enough to just ask for a picture :P

Do they make 4" or 5" cathodes? If not, then a cathode will not fit in my space.
