    Hi

    I just want to know how much does Neon/Glow wire's light up...
    Is it possible to use them underneath a car to create an "UFO effect"....

    Thanks ;)

    the string itself is bright but it will not illuminate the surrounding area much at all.

    You need a neon or cold cathode (properly made for the job :)

    I have 6 feet of it attached to the bottom of my case, and with the lights off, it gives a nice glow, but you would need like 1/4 mile of it to make the underside of a car glow, Plus it isn't very resilliant to kinking/crushing...
