2) Having 2 batteries reduces and almost eliminates the high pitched noise from the inverter.

That's the bit that did it for me. Damn annoying ain't it!

p.s. Brad, where do you get your wire tape from to run the power from the inverter to the EL panel itself (is that what it's called? :confused)

I'm going to have to hand my hand up to being thick here.. :facepalm

What do I search for? Tried EL wire tape and other things. It's just the small pos/neg track tape so that it fits nicely in the strap like you did originally, or was it one whole stripe or EL that you used originally?
 
This wire that is in question is called doll house wire.. it should be around $4.99 usd or maybe $6.49usd depends on who you get it from ebay amazon etc..the cost is cheap for a roll of this doll house wire just bargain shop. hope this helps.
 
Maybe I missed this in the thread, for those who have lit up the strap, what are you using for the nike logo that goes overtop of the EL sheet?
 
There are many things to use Avery clear printing paper or model decal clear sheets that you can print on i recommend that you run it threw 3 times for the dark black to hold its color and it makes the logo look brighter plus you should laminate it to make it stronger and water proof and it gives it that factory look besides using clear tape i don't recommend that.

Where did you ever get an idea like that?... ;)

I use clear tape and works great.
 
Hope it works for u Luke!

Just want to add and no one has to do this as well but what I did with the logo was thickened the line between the N and the I. Not by much, was just so the letters were more prominent. Also I took a sharpie pen to the black areas, don't get me wrong te blacks from the laser printer were good enough just I wanted it to be really dark so the letters stand out ALOT more.

No one has to do this but thought I would state it.
 
I see what you mean. Think I'll just nab the markpoon stickers for now as I need to get them done for this weekend, but will changed it after. :thumbsup
