The neon lit string you can get (here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Cathode___Neon_Lights.html) Would it be suitable to put behind the front grill on a chieftec dragon? Would you get a glow or is it goin to be noticable as a wire..... (red/blue combo would be used)
I hear that stuff has a short lifespan, and that the power supply for it makes an annoying constant high-pitched sound.
ok any recommendations for other stuff thats better then? bear in mind its gotta squeeze up the front of the dragon...
Yes, but my firend used red el wire and it is very dim, like a faint red. If your catholds then it wont be visable, but if you have no lighting it shows up alright.
El wire is not made to light anything up expect itself. It emits almost no light onto anything else but it does glow a decent amount. If you want lighting behing the grill of a dragon, buy LED fans
I've gotta red/blue akasa one, but it gives out basically no light... run it on ~7v but theres pretty much no difference between that and 12v. what about the blue wire, is that any brighter..>? the pic in this thread (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=49745) shows some EL wire and it doesnt look too bad.....
Ive used El wire on many mods and the guy who said they have a short lifespan is right. Also if you have speakers or anything of the sort within about 5feet of the wire (even a phone) the El wire causes them to emmit a high pitched squeeling noise. edit: yes some are molex powered
