12v Excel Driver for 80m - 200m EL Wire
The Excel range of EL Drivers have been designed with durability and reliability in mind.
Most of the standard EL Drivers have been designed as portable units for occasional uses of at most 4-6 hours at a time.
Excel Drivers on the other hand, have been designed for EL Wire applications where the EL Driver will be running daily for 8 hours +
These also have a great advantage over standard EL Driver in that they are completely silent.
We have a range of Excel Drivers that can power from between 15 metres right up to 300 metres of EL Wire.
This Excel Driver is one of our most powerful and is rated to 'Drive' between 80 metres and 200 metres of Standard EL Wire or 40m - 100m of ULTRA EL Wire

EL Driver 12V Input Options:
We have found it is impossible to guess how you will be using the EL Wire, EL Tape and Drivers, so you will see on this website we have tried to give you as many choices as possible.
This Driver is no exception as it also has a range of power inputs that cover most potential uses, please choose one of these from the dropdown menu:
1) NO EXTERNAL CONNECTOR
Maybe you have your own 12V 5.5mm/2.1mm input you want to use, perhaps you will be using one of the 2 Way power splitters?
Whatever your reason, this option gives you just the Driver (as in the photo above) - without any external power connectors like the rest of these listed below...
2) 12v Crocodile Clips
Perfect if you already have your own 12v battery to power this Driver
This 8xAA Battery Box will plug straight into the Driver. It is fairly large (63mm x 58mm x 30mm) but will make this EL Driver portableW
4) Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
These small but powerful Li-ion batteries come in a range of sizes, but for this size of Driver it is recommended to use the largest 5000mAh
5000mAh: 250g (5.3cm x 5.8cm x 3.9cm)
The Li-ion Battery comes with an intelligent charger (*Li-ion Batteries are only available to the UK due to airmail postal restrictions)
This handy PSU can be used to make this EL Driver powered off of UK Mains Electricity
6) 2 Way Splitter for 12v Power Input (5.5mm)
If you're thinking of running two of these units off of one power source, then get yourself one of these Splitters.
Please note this is a Splitter from the battery to the Driver, so you would only need one battery pack for two Drivers.
Most people also use Splitters that come from the Driver to the EL Wire (so you need only one Driver for many EL Wires) - you can get those types of EL wire Splitters here
*If you want more than one of the power connectors mentioned above for your EL Driver, they can all be found in our Accessories section, or just click the description you want and be taken to its own page*
Remote Control
You can use this Remote Control Unit by connecting the Controller between the Power Source and the Driver
You can use several different controllers with just one hand-held remote unit if you want to switch several different drivers at once
The Remote Control Unit is not available in the drop down options above - please click on the link to get the full details of this handy EL Accessory and add it to your basket.
Of course, the EL Wire being driven by this unit does not have to be in one single piece.
You could, for example, use 60 x 3m pieces of EL Wire and daisy chain lots of Splitters and Extenders together to get the effect you need.
(It is only the EL Wire that counts towards its 200m capacity - using many metres of Splitters and Extenders does not effect the amount of EL Wire it can make glow)
** REMEMBER TO SWITCH OFF THE EL DRIVER AND NOT JUST UNPLUG THE EL WIRES FROM THE DRIVER - The EL Driver will keep running while it is attached to a power source, whether or not there is EL Wire or EL Tape attached to it or not**
A wide selection of other EL Tape, EL Wire, Sequencers, Drivers and helpful EL accessories are available from our ebay store
