5cm x 8cm EL Panel for Backlight

This listing is for an Electroluminescent Panel and Driver/Inverter for the Spektrum controllers DX6i and DX7.

For the DX7 you must trim a little off the bottom of this panel (use sharp scissors and just cut it to shape)

For the DX6i you must trim a little off the end of the Panel

(For other models just measure the screen size to see if it will fit)

The panel size is 85mm x 55mm with a lit area of 80mm x 50mm

The driver should be run straight off the device you are backlighting. 

We have a choice of tiny waterproof  4.5v, 6v, 9v or 12v drivers that are designed as small as possible so as not to take up too much space (29mm x 19mm x 24mm (LxWxH)

We also include a small amount of heatshrink to help seal the wires

Alternatively, contact us with your needs, and we can work out what would be best for you

Installing an EL Panel as a backlight is fairly a easy procedure that basically involves accessing the screen of your device, cutting the EL Panel to the desired size, then wiring the driver so it is powered by the device, then finally putting it all back together

There are plenty of walkthrough videos on youtube showing step by step how to install an EL backlight but it is likely you will need a soldering iron
