If you go with cuttable EL sheets, how will you wire them, and how will you fill the empty space between unions? How many unions will you have?
The strips go from shoulder to ankle non-stop, do you realize the amount of wiring?
I'm not trying to sound pedantic please, I'm just trying to help you all not to waste time, and money! I'm just trying to be realistic.
Oh, but if you have the skills to make the amount of wiring, my apologize please. I just don't have it.
There are 12V batteries, plenty
BLISTER 1 PILAS ALCALINA 12V TIPO CR23 (LRV08)
Why do you want to carry 8AA?
I will go with 2 inverters of 9V batt each, and 10 meters of EL Wire for each side of the body. That's it.
But why don't you go with 2.5mm EL wire (brightest in the world), at least twice than 2.3, and play with it? Is cheaper if you buy in the US.
Please read my previous post.
But if you have high budget, better go for Elastolite, and forget all this. :lol
My apologize to everyone if I sound pedantic or cocky, not my intention, my english is not very good, I do my best...:angel
