Electroluminescent FAQ and Technical Information

1/ What are the differences of the three types of products? A)	Line body motif classifications act for cord (Need to depend on card, groove, glue, bracket shapes), hardwire (Oneself independent bended molding, analogous wire), consumer can use directly. B)Product acts for finished goods classification (Consumer uses directly), half-finished product (According to use request oneself match) C)16 serieses product just about point general already know market's classification, include accessory and driver. 2/ What to do if wire doesn’t light up（ Supposing failure rate is 100%）? A)	To cut off the power promptly ,otherwise, inverter will be burned out; Check if power, driver and EL Wire connected correctly. B)	Check the end of EL Wire. C)	Cut 1 cm of wire off from the end to prevent the electrodes from connecting. 3/ Can the wires be used outdoors? Will the color fade? A)	Yes, they can. B)	The red and orange color may fade after one years. 4/ Does the material of Electro luminescent Wire pollute the environment? A)	No, it doesn’t.Main ingredients: copper wire, plastic,- 5/ Result of improper handling of wire such as pulling or bending too hard A)	Disconnection of light, black spots, or risk of shock. B)	Black spots in the glowing wire. 6/EL wire working condition AC 90V-150V 1000-4000HZ 7/ Driver Working condition DC3V,6V,9V,12V,18V,24V,AC110V,220V 8/ What to do if driver does not work? A)	Check if power, driver and EL Wire are properly connected. (get through the power promptly, to cut off the power promptly if the el wire doesn’t light or work) B)	The Driver should make a buzzing noise. C)	If the driver stops working after a use, let it rest for 3-5 minutes before using again. D)	The driver becomes hot if not properly connected with the wire. Unplug the driver. 9/ Why is there buzzing noise from drivers? The brightness is based on frequency. So there is a buzzing noise when in high frequency. 10/ Relations between the Capacity of Driver and EL Wire. A)	The capacity of drivers should be compatible with the length of EL Wire. Or it could cause damage to wire and driver. B)	when larger capacity driver is used for shorter wire, the wire would be brighter but wire’s life time would be shortened. 11/ Warning A)	Be careful! Do not turn on driver if it is not connected to EL Wire. Inverter can not get though power while without using together with el wire, otherwise inverter will be damaged. B)	Do not bend the connected part of wire 12/ Is it true that the thicker the wire, the brighter? It appears to be true due to the volume of the wire. In fact the brightness is weakened because of the thicker plastic coating. 13/ Color and the brightness. It is brighter for transparent and yellow color. 14/ Life time. 5000 hours indoors, 3000 hours outdoors. 1000 hours in wet environment or in high frequency. 15/ How does our Wire save electricity?   Our EL Wire cost 0.3 Watt per meter, 0.4 Watt per meter with driver. 16/ How to attach our EL Wire to a surface or an object? You could use glue for plastics, groove, cable ties or clips. 17/ How long does your EL Wire work? Our current drivers can work with 100 meters. We can manufacture 1000 meters. 18/ Is your EL Wire safe? The electric current is 6mA/meter and does not result heat.  And its material is none-toxic and none-hazardous. 19/ Are your EL Wires Waterproof? Yes. The ends and connecting areas of wires must be properly sealed with waterproof glue. 20/ Are your EL Wire colorful? Yes. 21/ Can you rotate the colors? Yes. You can connect wires of different colors and use driver for multiple wires. 22/ Can your EL Wire connect with A/C Power directly? No. 23/ why the EL wire can emitting light? Electric field excitated the Fluorescence powder luminescence. 24/ The difference between driver and adapter. A) Adapter is used to connect Output Power and driver (DC 12V, DC 3V,6V etc.). adaptor can not make the el wire light up. B）Inverter (driver) is to connect el wire and make el wire work. C）The electric current that DC adaptor give to inverter should be from 100 to 500Ma, bigger current will make the inverter hot and burn out .  25/ Can wires of different color, different diameters be connected? Can be connected, because the core wire is the same diameter, but the more joints or connection, the higher the falure rates, the right connection is very important(pls.refer to assembing instruction or video), the conection parts should be fixed.
