ok so the Id of this blade is 12.4 mm or 1/2 inch. how many strands of el wire will fit inside? and being 38 inches long.

try the EL blade making tutorial vortex
you're not a n00b, i can't believe you're asking this...

Material List - 40" Blade


* 40" Long 3/4"OD 1/2"ID Polycarbonate tube[/li]
* 40" minus length of mono plug Long 7/16"OD 5/16"ID Rigid high density polyethylene tubing - straightened[/li]
* 17' 2.5mm High Bright EL wire[/li]
* 3/4"OD Half round acrylic tip [/li]
* 1/4" Mono plug[/li]
* Allen head set screw[/li]

38 inches would be just a tiny bit less than that

Remember, you need to go by the ID of the diffuser, not the polycarb tube. If you don't use a diffuser, the blade will look like crap, you will see the wires and it won't be evenly lit.

I have converted many of my friend's Parks blades to EL wire in the past, once the EL film in the original blades get damaged.

And yeah, check the Tutorial.

I didn't realize there was one. I also asumed any other info was for tims blades exclusivly. but I shall look
edit: ok I found out what I needed to know. didn't know el blades where all 3/4 inch. See where my confusion lies?

[Lord Maul]

well, with a one inch el blade, el wire would be covered by itself and therefore not doing much good
