EL Light Costumes

[Jamieyorkshire]

I am thinking of making some fancy dress to wear at the festival and am thinking of using EL wire. I was wondering if anyone has got any experience of this and how bright it will be.

Also seen you can now get EL tape but again not sure how bright this would be.

Any thoughts on this would be great, thanks.

BTW, if anyone is unsure of what I am talking about it is this sort of stuff, although as never bought before not sure if there would be a better site to get from

im currently in the process of sewing my el wire onto fancy dress , there are loads of sites online I just get mine on amazon and yes it is bright , but gets through a set of batteries per night , so make sure you have enough

I like the smiley face people. Bumped into two on the railway track and they looked awesome.

Great thanks I did wonder how long batteries last, it's my first time using EL and my first time at Glasto so wanted to make something different.
