El Wire

[Tec_]

no i dont have anything new to show yet. (something is in the works) i just want to know has any one been working with my favorite form of lighting recently? if so lets see, im in the mood for some EL!

[ProperBritish]

 i want to buy some EL, but its expensive in comparison to LEDs. might do it after trigger mod

[Tec_]

its not that expensive at about .75 to 2.00 a foot. the inverters can be kinda price but there not to bad

[budgray19]

id do it but i have no id3ea where to get the inverter ad what to get
lol
talk to me on msn when ur on

[ProperBritish]

i should be doing trigger mod soon, phen's power board has arrived and my 1206 LEDs have too. I have 10 Ohm resistors too

huh? EL Trigger?

[ProperBritish]

i was elaborating on my trigger mod, sorry for the confusion.

[phenomenal]

many reasons why i havent, one, because i suck at modding, two, not sure where to get it from and thrid, dunno how it works

but if i were to fix all of the problems, then, yeah ill probaly do it

[GhoSt]

i got a new psp and am so keen for sum el-wire action but i have a few problems
    -dont know where to pick up a invertor small enough
    -does it require the removale of UMD?
    -what did you use to sucure it inside the case?

all of your EL can be bought at http://www.coolight.com/ they also carry the small inverter i used for my mod.

as for how it works
simple: answer it works like a capacitor.
in depth: one wire is covered with a phosphorescent material a another wire is run on the out side of it and it is all incased in a plastic sheath. when a high frequency AC current is passed over it the phosphor lights up. the high frequency AC current comes form the inverter. a DC current is fed in to it and a high freq. AC current comes out.

no it dose not require the removal of the UMD drive

and i used hot glue to affix it in my case.

[ProperBritish]

its not really any different, AFAIK, apart from that you hook up an inverter to some wire.

florescent lights function in much the same way, but insted of a solid (EL) the light up a gas

[ProperBritish]

i wonder if i could find cold cathodes small enough? 

[Tec_]

for a psp? no for a phat PS2 yes

[ProperBritish]

hmmmm... imma research this :P

[GhoSt]

so if i hook up some coollight red angel hair el wire to one of these invertors http://www.coolight.com/product-p/isw-3475.htm where on the mobo will i solder to if im already using powerboard for leds. Do i mount it under wifi board?

[ProperBritish]

mount the wire where you want 

[GhoSt]

mount the wire where you want 

no but where to mount the invertor?

[Tec_]

its not going to happen with that inverter, its huge
you would want this one

sweet ok im set, so this will work with the angel wire gud. so all i need to do is hook this up to the psp no resistor or nefing and it will work?

I carry the driver too, at the suggestion of someone here at Acidmods:

http://www.neonstring.com/cart/product_info.php?products_id=133&osCsid=51264bbba66a3a1bbe3fdbd643cdffec

I charge more for it, but if you factor the shipping...

Also, if anyone needs an instructional on soldering EL wire, I did an illustrated how-to here:

i haven't bought any thing off of his site, but i did buy a ton of his stuff off of cyber, and i havent had any issues with it. it all functions verry well.

plus his smallest EL wire is thiner than the stuff from coolight
