I am planning on using this material for my gauges. I thought I would share this with the rest of the forum.
Electroluminescent Lighting (EL) is used by Ferrari and other automotive manufactures to illuminate their gauges. It’s not cheap, (nothing is for our builds) but offers even illumination, Stays cool and is available in different colors.
All you have to do is cut this stuff with a pair of scissors in the size you want. All you have to worry about is to insure you leave a strip for the connections. Attach it to the inverter and attach it to your light switch .
