Green EL Tape Strip 100cm

This Adafruit electroluminescent tape provides a flat, wide glow surface measuring one centimetre across with a 1.5 centimetre plastic coating. The PVC covering makes the strip weather-resistant for indoor or sheltered use. An adhesive backing allows direct mounting on project surfaces. It suits makers adding uniform accent lighting to costumes, signs or enclosure interiors.

Dual connectors enable flexible installation

Two EL connectors come soldered on opposite ends of the 100cm length. You can cut the tape into two pieces of any length and power each section separately. This lets you route light around corners or split output between separate zones without extra soldering work.

Requires adequate inverter capacity

EL tape presents roughly four times the capacitance per length of high-brightness EL wire and eight times that of standard wire. The 2xAA pocket inverter handles a maximum of 60cm so the full strip must be cut before use. Running the entire length from one inverter produces dim output and stresses the driver.

Questions about this item

How do I handle the two connectors if I cut the 100cm EL tape into shorter pieces?

Each 100cm strip ships with a connector soldered to both ends, so cutting it yields two ready-to-use segments without extra soldering.

What length can I safely run from the 2xAA pocket inverter without overloading it?

The pocket inverter supports up to 60cm of this tape; running the full 100cm will look dim and stress the inverter, so cut the strip in half first.

Does the adhesive-backed tape get hot or draw much power during continuous operation?

A 50cm section draws modest current and the tape stays cool to the touch; the PVC coating and adhesive are rated for indoor or short-term outdoor use.
