Out of curiosity, has anyone ever managed to incorporate EL Tape into their hilt innards of a sabre to get a glowing effect. I know EL blades are covered in the forum, but I'm curious to try adding EL tape, or sheets, to add a glow affect in the hilts insides - perhaps wrap my battery with it to make it look all radioactive, or something. But, as i understand it they require AC which requires incorporating a DC -> AC circuit which is pushing it when you have only 3.7v (if you go with 1 x 18650) and not a lot of space to work with.

So, just looking for feedback or examples of anyone crazy enough to make that work.

Thanks,
Al
