So that's new, usually it seems to be the EL Breaking in the middle.
Possible that's a loose wire?

Got the sticker. Such high quality and glossy, much better than the one on the box [emoji1303]

This is a good point as it seems EL works off frequency where the higher the frequency, the more blue the light appears. This explains why my white EL sheet was blue with the 12V inverters I was using.
Therefore if you were to use a green EL sheet with these inverters, you should get cyan. The inverter ups the frequency adding blue to the light. Green plus Blue equals Cyan.
Try pressing your thumb hard in different places with the shoe on. It will give you a good idea where the problem is. Try the center of the el panel first, then try the large dome...then above the large dome on the fabric area. Most likely your EL panel failing in the center though, it can somehow cause both domes to go out...not just the front one. I've seen a front dome go out, then a few minutes later the whole thing went out. Here's a pic holding the EL panel over a light, you can see how small the connections inside it are.

its the el panel around the large dome area, I opened up my mag and the connectors are fine the panel is the ine giving me problems
I have found a few guys who have built circuits with arduinos made to shift the color back and forth between blue and aqua but they are far too big to fit into our shoes. I'm hoping to find a simpler solution as we wouldn't need to be able to shift between colors, just need it fixed at aqua.

WizardBTTF are you working on better quality replacement EL panels? If so I would buy in a heart beat.

No took the EL out of mine, converting mine to LED. Just made a mold for the domes, and I will be embedding the LEDs into those. Should make it much much more reliable.

I have a colorimeter, so I can actually take reading of the light, know bright it is and what the exact colour the panel actually is. When I measured my so called "aqua" panels last year, blue was at 180% to green at 100% when running off the standard 12V mini inverter (15mm long).
White EL was also way too blue. In fact I had to add two filters of yellow to make the light read as white. So what I am saying is that if you connected these to green EL, you would get cyan because of the very intense blue push would bias the green light. No bulk, just knowing what these do and then taking the next step to make it close to what we want.
