Pretty excellent costume, ARC. It's a shame about the collar. How do the wires attach to the EL Tape? I've been using alligator clips, where I'll use some pliers to gently close them onto the tape to break the skin of it. Then I'll hot glue the seal so it's pretty secure. I'll find out tomorrow...

That Tron disk is very well done, Canobi. Thanks a lot for the walk-through hookup. I got completely distracted from my post by watching those vids. I've pretty much finished my vest and fedora for my End of Line character. Here's one of the pics and a link to the rest: fedora and vest...

Hey everyone, Here's my first run at modifying my fedora with EL Tape. I'll have to adjust the tape and velcro a bit so that the top is a little more flush, but I'm pretty pleased with how the first couple hours of development ended out. The EL Tape isn't too hard to work with, however I...

Hey man, glad I could help. I'm not too sure about the disk setup, but there are a ton of references on this thread. If you do an advanced search for it, you'll probably get a good amount of hits and info about it. Also, I got my EL Tape from Funhouse, and I'm very pleased with the initial try...

Hey man (or woman), I know how you feel and can empathize. Hopefully, what I have to say will give you a few ideas and help with the costume. I wanted to make a replica Tron costume as well, but I have never worked with EL Tape before. I've been working with electronics for years, and that...

That would look very slick! The Funhouse stuff is 22.00 per 1 meter strip if you buy 4+ strips. So, that'd be 110.00 altogether for 5 strips of 1 meter tape (should be close to 15 feet). See their spec page on the tape for details...

Also, that EL Tape is the same stuff that Astrael used in his project (pic below for reference) which IMO looks damn good. Keep it classy:

Here's a link to their EL Tape (Ribbons) page. It's not 2", but it's wider than the Glow Hut tape. The page is sparse and basic: Electroluminescent Ribbons Here's a link for the drivers as well: Drivers I will most likely be ordering from here. Once I get the EL Tape and Drivers, I'll...

Hello all. I've been using this thread as research for my own costuming, and I'd like to thank in advance everyone here. This thread has provided so much knowledge and useful links, and I am confident I will be able to create what I have in mind. My plan is to add EL Tape to a black vest...
