El in Led blade?

[DACOTA]

Is it possible to hook up el wire into Tims led blade,im not sure of the dimensions but if the mono plug and poly e could fit inside and you could fill it with enough el wire would it work?

[Lord Maul]

that could be really cool. you could make the saber so bright because of all the strands of el wire
you would have to find a bigger mono jack though

[DACOTA]

Do you think they make bigger ones.Probably?

it wouldnt make it as bright but i think white EL wire inside a 3/4" tube, inside a regular 1" blade color of your choice would be pretty cool.

I remember this done once. It required a second inverter because the length is too long. It does help a bit with brightness, but at that point you are covering wire in the center and making it pointless.

What if you took a 1" blade and diffuser with something like maybe the 3/4" diffuser and wrapted it around it then stuffed it inside the blade.so the EL wire is centered and not filling up the middel of the blade and losing brightness.

[xwingband]

Sure, I guess that'd be fine if you got the right diameters. It would probably still need a second or heftier inverter.

[Ryma Mara]

Yeah But I think the way it seems in order for el to compeat with leds you would almost have to run a second inverter just for it to come close.

Has anyone tryed 3 inverters before or would it fry the wire?

[Lord Maul]

in a normal 3/4 inch el blade it would probably fry the wire. if you were doing it with a led blade like we are talking about, it would work fine

[Ryma Mara]

Yeah cause of all the extra wire that you would be running. Hellif I was gonna go to that length I would coil the wire around the smaller diffuser tube and run 4 inverters.

Look out fire here I come lol.
