 |  EL wire, EL tape, EL sheet lighting?? Cant make heads or tails of what i need! ok so im just about ready to start my new project | Project Omega-Alpha 2 and iam going to be doing a very basic case mod (seeing as i paid $120 dollars for the case) and i want to use EL wire or the equivlent of it but i dont know what i need or how to secure it to the out side of the case. i will eventuly try to mount a plasma plate to the out side of the case over the EL wire to make it look like the power is surging from the plate. can any one help me out? |

| Re: EL wire, EL tape, EL sheet lighting?? Cant make heads or tails of what i need! Well, as of now, the EL is dimmer than it was. But, I have not tried to figure out why. Could be the PS has more on it now. Could be the converter is having issues. But, even though it is not as bright, it still looks great on the case when the lights are dim in the house. Which they are all the time in my gaming room/office. |

| Re: EL wire, EL tape, EL sheet lighting?? Cant make heads or tails of what i need! about a month or so. But, it really is not that big a deal. I still like them and I have an Idea for a mod where I will use the EL wire again. What were you planning on doing with them? |
