Compact 1M white electroluminescent wire for masks, helmets, and small props. Flexible, waterproof, and cool to the touch. Requires EL Inverter.
When you are building a custom helmet, a detailed cosplay mask, or adding a glowing accent to a drone frame, managing a long 5-meter coil is bulky and unnecessary. The 1M Flexible EL Wire Neon Light (White) is the perfect "finishing touch" length. It provides a clean, neutral white glow that mimics futuristic fiber optics. Because it is short and lightweight, it places significantly less strain on small battery inverters (like coin-cell drivers), making it the ideal choice for head-mounted displays and handheld props where weight and space are at a premium.
The Probots Quality Advantage: Pure White Definition White EL wire is chemically the most difficult color to manufacture; poor quality versions often look distinctly blue or greenish-grey. We stock Probots™ ProSpec Grade wire, which uses a calibrated phosphor mix to achieve a crisp, neutral white. This 1-meter strand is built with the same industrial durability as our longer rolls, featuring a high-tensile internal copper core that survives repeated flexing. We package these shorter lengths in Probots™ Secure-Transit envelopes to ensure they arrive straight and kink-free, ready for your precision detailing work.
Seamless Integration with the Tech-Bridge Ecosystem Don't worry about soldering tiny hair-thin wires. This 1M segment comes pre-terminated with our standard Probots™ Tech-Bridge ???? JST-SM connector. It snaps directly into our 2xAA, or USB inverters. This "Plug-and-Glow" compatibility means you can add a professional light element to your 3D printed parts or costumes in seconds. If 1 meter is still slightly too long for your specific need, you can simply snip it shorter with scissors!
A "Cold Light" Safe for Wearables Unlike LED strips which can get warm, EL wire is a "cold light" source. It generates virtually zero heat during operation. This makes it the only safe choice for applications near the skin, such as illuminating the eyes of a mask or the collar of a jacket. Its uniform 360-degree glow ensures that your project looks good from every angle, without the blinding "hotspots" typical of standard LEDs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this 1M wire come with a battery pack?
No, this is the wire only. You must buy a driver/inverter separately.
Is 1 Meter long enough for a mask?
Yes, 1M is usually enough to outline the eyes and jawline of a standard face mask.
Can I power this with a coin cell battery?
Yes! We sell "Coin Cell Inverters" which are tiny and perfect for hiding inside a helmet.
Is the white color very bright?
It is a soft neon glow. In pitch darkness, it is very visible. In daylight, it looks like a white plastic wire.
Can I cut it to 50cm?
Yes. You can cut it anywhere. The leftover 50cm can be used if you solder a new connector to it.
Does it get hot against my face?
No. EL wire is a "cold light" source and is safe to wear directly against skin.
Is it waterproof?
The wire is waterproof, but the connector is not. If using it on rain gear, wrap the connection in electrical tape.
Can I bend it into sharp corners?
Yes, it is very flexible. Avoid repeatedly bending it back and forth at the same spot to prevent metal fatigue.
What is the diameter?
It is 2.3mm thick.
Why does the inverter make a noise?
The inverter vibrates at high frequency to generate the AC voltage. This faint whine is normal.
Can I use a 5M inverter for this 1M wire?
Yes, but the wire might glow too brightly and shorten its lifespan slightly because the inverter is overpowering it. A smaller inverter is better.
Does it look blueish?
Our White EL wire is a cool white. When unlit, the outer jacket may appear slightly pink or peach-colored; this is normal for the phosphor chemistry to produce white light when lit.
How do I attach it to a helmet?
Use clear superglue (Cyanoacrylate) or clear double-sided tape.
Can I connect two 1M wires to one inverter?
Yes, if you use a "2-way splitter cable" and the inverter is strong enough (e.g., a 2xAA inverter).
Is it safe for kids?
Yes, provided the battery pack is secured. The voltage is high but the current is very low and non-lethal.
Does it fade over time?
EL wire slowly dims over its life (12,000 hours).
Can I run it from USB?
Yes, use our USB EL Inverter.
Is the light solid or dotted?
It is a solid, continuous line of light.
Can I sew it?
Yes, you can stitch over it with clear fishing line. Do not pierce the wire itself.
What happens if I pierce the wire?
You will break the internal circuit and the wire will stop glowing from that point onwards.
