EL wire need special power and normal battery DC cannot power it. EL wire is thin, bright and flexible and people use it in art projects, clothing, signs and decorative lighting, also it requires a high-voltage AC supply of 100 to 200V at a frequency of 1–5 kHz. So, need EL wire inverter circuit where […]
