Made the BEST Halloween costume!

I never write reviews, but these were so good I had to! My son wanted to be DJ Marshmello for Halloween and wanted a hard mask like he has. I started with a 5 gallon bucket and cut out the eyes and mouth. We were looking for something flexible like this to outline the face in. I could not be happier with the outcome! I was able to glue it on with E6000 and clipped it with clothespins until it was mostly dry. These lights bend really easily and I was able to remove the two strands I didn’t need.

Pros
  • Good for the price
Cons
  • Battery pack hums. Some light stands blow out easily.

Great for projects, very versatile.

The wire looks great in the dark and since it's five short strands instead of one long one it was perfect for my project. I sewed one to each limb of a jumpsuit and disconnected the fifth one; that made the other four even brighter. You could even buy a few colours and mix and match on the same power source for a custom neon sign or something.

Pros
  • Super cool but emits a high pitched whining sound
Cons
  • The batteries required for the lights may be expensive in the long run

Inexpensive yet bright and functional

I used this 5 wire EL set to make my halloween costume this year. I went as a stick figure, and the wires worked perfectly as arms and legs for me. I had to make some extensions for the wires so they would consistently reach the inverter, but that was a simple splice and tape job using some cheap wire from Lowes. The 5 wire sets are not as bright as the one wire sets probably because this one is pushing a few more feet.Using this in conjunction with a single 3M wire, I was able to complete the…

Pros
  • It way to hard for my kids to use
Cons
  • The kit may be difficult to assemble for those who are not manually inclined

Great for costumes.

We used these to make my son a stick figure costume. We secured them to a sweatshirt and sweat pants using ice make hose and safety pins. They were perfect! The battery pack does make a high pitched noise while on but we only noticed it in quiet spaces.Overall we were really happy with these light strips. They fit our application perfectly and with the way we used them we can use them again for something else in the future.

Pros
  • Easy to use for fun glow in the dark stickman costume
Cons
  • The lights may not be bright enough to adequately illuminate a space

Made a DIY Stick Figure costume for my kid for halloween with two of these. Let me start off by saying that these worked PERFECT. Everyone kept telling my kid that he had the best costume they have ever seen even though I did a hack job sewing them to a hoodie and warmup pants. Never the less the wire stayed bright throughout the night and made the kiddo beam with pride. I was even able to take off the wire to save them for another project.Only draw back was that everyone kept asking what he…

Pros
  • Adds a fun pop of blue color
Cons
  • The kit may be too cumbersome for those with limited storage space

It’s got good sides and bad sides

The color of the light is a more little more blue than I’d like, I was looking for white. Another little issue, is that whenever I turn it on I hear this ringing/buzzing sound. Other than that, I think it looks really nice, and a lot of people seem to like what I’ve made with it.

Pros
  • Battery controller 4 modes: Continuous ON / Strobe / Blink and OFF. Can easily switch mode by pressing the button and so easy to decorations.
Cons
  • The kit may not include enough wire for larger decorating projects

Worked very well on my review.

I used this to turn my son into a stick figure for Halloween. I wish that you could unplug each line as it would really help with the gluing but I got through the it. Glued well with a glue gun and the result as just what I hoped for.

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • The lights may not be suitable for outdoor use in extreme temperatures

Very Cool!: my feedback

I really was surprised at the operation and performance of these EL devices! They are a unique addition to my collection of interesting light-emitting devices I can make use of in a variety of situations. They are portable, battery operated light-emitting cords that can be twisted and bent in a variety of ways that cannot be done when using LED-based devices. Very Cool!

Pros
  • Easy to customize to your specific needs
Cons
  • The lights may not be bright enough for outdoor use in well-lit areas

Decent but not for me

Im sure other people would have use for this but I wanted this to use for my cosplay and found a couple of problems when trying to use this. The first of which is the fact there is a distinct buzzing that comes from it once it turns on. The other problem I’ve e noticed is that it’s not that bright for what it looks like in the photos, for reference it’s like a lowlit led.

Pros
  • Comes with a user manual for easy setup
Cons
  • The lights may not be suitable for outdoor use in windy conditions

Amazing Deck for my opinion

I love how light hearted and soft the aesthetic of the cards are. The tarot guide book inside was very much needed and I super appreciate the 7 chakra breakdown as well! Very Pivotal to my learning

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • The kit may not include instructions for proper use and assembly

Multiple Uses best in my review

Perfect for my halloween costume, bright and easy to use. Will reuse in my husbands car to highlight the dash and door opening. One request is to make the cords a little longer from where you plug it in to the battery pack so you have more option for different uses.

Pros
  • Great for creating a relaxing atmosphere in a spa or meditation room
Cons
  • The lights may not have a long enough battery life for extended outdoor use

not very bright and the white looks blue

theres an annoying buzzing sound my fiance hated from the second he turned them on and we ordered white and it was definitely a soft blue no way was it a bright white light stated

Pros
  • Perfect for creating a neon sign effect
Cons
  • The kit may not include enough instruction on how to create different designs

TRONTASTIC! good for me

Used the 5 wire for my son's tron costume, and it worked perfectly! Very easy to thread through and glue down. It also had great flexibility and not only was it lightweight, but brighter than anticipated. Used a separate single wire for his disc. Also bright and lightweight. Turned out perfectly! Would highly recommend this product anytime.

Pros
  • Perfect for illuminating a dance floor or stage
Cons
  • The lights may not be suitable for outdoor use in areas with limited sun exposure

Great value, bright, a huge hit!

Worked perfect for a family full of stick man costumes. One set is good for kids, adults needed two due to our leg/torso length, we just made out head/body different colors. It was quite handy to be able to plus any color into any battery pack.

Pros
  • Having 5 separate strands of EL Wire from one driver makes this versatile and opens up new possibilities for using this amazing glowing string.
Cons
  • The lights may be difficult to detach from the wire

works, slight high-pitched whine

It works for stickman costume.Has a very quiet whine, but much less than other similar products I purchased at the same time which were a bit annoying.

Pros
  • Flexible, Energy saving, Less power drain than LEDs. Great for car, parties, camping bar, Burning Man, Halloween, Christmas decoration.
Cons
  • The lights may be too fragile for frequent handling

Works great.: my feedback

Worked great. We were the talk of the Halloween party making stick figures out of the lights and morph suits . That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Can be used to create a starry night effect
Cons
  • The kit may be too expensive for a casual party decoration

Bright and exactly as described - the plug in connectors make it easier to install than units with the EL wire directly attached with a wire that does not have a connector like this one does. This also lets you custom mix different colors if you have more than one unit. Three settings - steady on, slow flash and fast flash all work well, though I personally only use the steady on, and having to cycle to get to off is a bit of a pest if you are trying to turn off the wire in a rush (say for a…

Pros
  • Perfect for adding a futuristic touch to any setting
Cons
  • The lights may not be bright enough for outdoor use at night

Didn’t last: my feedback

I sewed theses onto some sweats so my son could be a stick person for Halloween. After about 30 minutes of the lights being on the shorted out and the only way to keep them on was to hold the button.

Pros
  • Perfect for DIY projects
Cons
  • The wires may be easy to detach from the clips

Great for costumes!

I loved this! We (my 10 yr old and I) saw a figure stick costume for Halloween online already made, but it was over $100 so we decided to make one ourselves. I came across these and it worked perfectly! Very easy to use. I used a hot glue gun to hold the wires down on a sweatshirt and sweatpants. The wires detach and put back together easily so he could take the shirt and pants off separately. Down side. they aren't that bright when it's still light out, but as soon as dark fell, his costume…

Pros
  • Can be used as accent lighting in a bedroom or living room
Cons
  • The lights may require frequent battery changes, disrupting the party
