Power & Performance

Electrical Requirements

  • Voltage Range: 70-210VAC

  • Frequency Range: 400-5000Hz

  • Brightness: 5cd/m² ~ 600cd/m²

  • Operating Temperature: -10°C ~ +60°C

  • Storage Temperature: +5°C ~ +35°C

  • Lifespan: 4,000-6,000 hours based on operating conditions

Best Power Practices

  • Use an appropriate inverter based on your total TruEL™ Wire length.

  • Battery or plug-in operation supported.

  • Overdriving increases brightness but may reduce lifespan.

  • Maintain optimal frequency (~400Hz) for best performance.


Installation & Best Practices

Bending & Handling

  • Maintain a minimum bending radius of 10mm to prevent damage.

  • Avoid repeated flexing in high-movement areas (knees, elbows in costumes).

Powering Your TruEL™ Wire

  • Choose an inverter rated for your total wire length.

  • TruEL™ Wire consumes ~2x the power of standard EL wire.

  • Increase voltage or frequency to enhance brightness.

Cutting & Connecting TruEL™ Wire

  • TruEL™ Wire can be cut at any point.

  • Cut at a 30° angle and seal with an end cap or waterproof glue.


Frequently Asked Questions
