elementcollector1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Okay, so I'm building a replica of the Portal Device from Portal. The thing is, for the lighting in the middle of the gun, I need EL wire. Unfortunately, I understand next to nothing about EL wire. Some questions I have are: Can a 9V or less battery make the wire emit enough visible light? Does the wire need an AC power source to work? Can the wire be hooked up to a simple circuit? Any help is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 You can run some of them off of two AA batteries. It depends on the length. Example http://www.elbestbuy.com/shleofremali.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementcollector1 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 The most I should be using is 3 feet. So, that would be 3 volts total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementcollector1 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Actually, I found a much cheaper and simpler solution, so thanks anyway. By the way, this topic can be closed now.
