Ares DIY Iron-On VynEL Lighting Costume Kit

Greetings, Programs! Many of you requested them, and now they’re here. After numerous appeals for a fresh, compelling Tron kit, we’re proud to present this advanced version. Our 2010 Gen 1 kit was a simple DIY using rigid EL Tape that adults and children enjoyed, though it had limitations in adhering to clothing. Enter VynEL™ Wear: an innovative, ultra-flexible material designed for seamless application. Each custom panel adheres effortlessly to your chosen garment with heat pressing, delivering a striking glow with an elegant feel. This new kit offers exceptional visual impact both up close and in the dark, with a softness that truly feels like magic. We are excited to reveal our newest product with this special kit that's sure to impress. 

This kit comes with both the Top Kit, Bottom (pant) Kit. The Top Kit consists of 7 panels; including 4 panels from the upper chest to abdominal area, 1 for each arm, and one large back panel. The bottom kit includes 6 panels (3 for each leg including upper thigh, calf, and boot/ankle area). Each VynEL™ Wear panel is pre-wired so it connects easily to a single power source. 

BYOC (Bring Your Own Clothing) - This kit is for the lighting and electronics ONLY. It does not include the textile portion. Add these lights to your favorite suit, or clothing item. We recommend avoiding zip up garments as the lights in the front will be bonded to the fabric and zippers will not function properly. 

What Do I Need To Know About Lights? Not a whole lot! The kit comes with all the lighting elements so if you own an iron, you can have success with this kit, in an hour or two. Each panel comes with a heat bonding adhesive on the backside, which is meant to bond to many types of fabrics. Simply press with about 10-20lbs of pressure and about 15-20 seconds per panel and you are glowing in no time! Detailed instructions come with each kit. All you need which is not included are 8AA batteries. 

Disclaimer: We get it... the glowing, futuristic style instantly reminds people of that iconic movie. But just so we’re clear: this kit isn’t made by or affiliated with Disney, Tron, or any movie studio.

What you’re getting is a DIY lighting package designed for creative costumes and projects. It’s not a 1:1 replica, but it definitely turns heads and makes people stop in awe.

Think of it as a blank canvas, you can bond the VynEL panels onto your outfit, light it up, and make it your own. The end result? A look that feels straight out of the future, without stepping on anyone’s trademarks.

So light it up, stand out, and enjoy the ride.
