Anybody use el wire on their cabinet?

<< < (4/4)

HeadRusch:
I got some EL Wire that I'm going to use on my coctail......ORIGINALLY I was going to use 1/2" EL Tape and go around the entire perimiter of my rectangular Coctail Top, that is..until I PRICED how much EL Tape I'd need.

Another thing to keep in mind..this stuff doesn't exactly have "longevitity" going for it......It would be smarter to use UV Reactive paints and use a blacklight instead.

I would still love to do the idea of using the stuff instead of t-moulding, but the fact is, for the 1/2" EL Tape its just totally cost prohibitive....to go around my coctail top we're talking like $100 bucks of tape, and thats just too rich for my blood...for that purpose.

It doesn't last??   :(    I knew it had to have a downside.

I think he wanted to use EL wire, and put it underneath T-molding...  how much more expensive is EL tape than EL wire?  I thought wire was only a couple bucks a foot.

Rusch: El-wire has a life of about 3000 hours -- which is quite a long time, IMHO.  You can find it online for about $1.30/ft.  

I think the strip stuff is more expensive.
