    Could I still order an orange blade as a special request?

    There is no point as it looks just like red and it is a pain to use since it does not come in the same size as the other wire I sell.

    I think Aqua should actually be the brightest, since the outer sheathing has no color and is completely clear, because that's the natural color of the phosphorus. Lime is next.[]

    To make white EL wire, they have to "dope" the phosphorus by introducing impurities into it, in order to make it look white, since you can't do it with colored outer sheathing, like with the rest of the colors.

    That's one of the reasons that red is one of the dimmest colors, it's hard to change blue-green to red using the sheathing.</font id="purple"></font id="size3">

    In order to see the Light, you must sometimes risk the Dark.

    Yup, white will be the least brightest of any EL because there are so many coatings on it to get it to glow white that it's brightness is very low.
