  • Product typePrototyping Products
  • Even glow across the full 10 cm x 10 cm aqua surface
  • Flexible plastic sheet lets you sew or glue it to curved projects
  • Cuttable to any continuous shape while keeping the JST cable attached
  • Weather-resistant PVC coating protects the glowing layer from moisture
  • Requires a powerful inverter to light up the panel

10 cm × 10 cm EL Panel

This 10 cm by 10 cm electroluminescent panel glows evenly across its aqua surface. It suits hobbyists and makers adding uniform illumination to wearables, signs or prototypes. The flexible plastic construction allows shaping around curves. An external inverter must be supplied separately to drive the panel.

Installation Notes

The panel includes a JST cable for connection to a compatible inverter. You can sew through the clear plastic edging or glue the back to a flat surface. The material flexes but will crease and damage if folded sharply. Cutting is possible only if the remaining shape stays continuous with the cable attached.

Before You Order

Verify you have a powerful inverter rated for EL panels, as the panel will not light without one. The connectors are only heatshrink-protected, not waterproof, so plan for dry mounting. The overall coating measures about 10.4 cm by 10.4 cm, so confirm the panel fits your enclosure.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the aqua EL panel is glowing evenly after connecting it to an inverter?

Power the panel with a suitable inverter and observe the 10 cm x 10 cm surface; the aqua glow should appear uniform across the entire area without dark spots or flickering.

What comes with the panel and what must I purchase separately to make it work?

The box contains one aqua EL panel measuring 10 cm x 10 cm with a JST cable; a powerful inverter is required and must be bought separately.

Which size should I choose if I need a panel that fits a 10 cm by 10 cm cut-out?

Select the 10 cm x 10 cm version; its glowing area matches those dimensions exactly while the plastic coating extends to about 10.4 cm on each side.
