Well, that about sums it up for the rough specs. As I'm sure you can imagine, the possibilities for these Lightstrips are just about endless.

After having installed many cold cathode lights myself, I must say that this is about as close to bending light as you will ever get without a prism, and a hell of a lot more durable for sure. You can't break it. Granted, these are not as bright as a bulb will be, but that is not their intention. Lightstrips are made to accent with light, not flood with light.

Also, filiament-type lighting is going to generate heat, and that heat is going to go right into your case where you don't want it. We have a hard enough time keeping the heat out as it is! There is NO heat output with the Lightstrips. At all. Big plus in my book.

Another feature of these Lightstrips is that they are weatherproof, so if you install one outdoors you don't need to worry about precipitation damaging it. In fact, the 5 foot versions are perfect for automotive and motorcycle applications, as demonstrated here.

So what these are these Lightstrip things made out of anyways? This is a very common question. They are made from a phosphor crystal that when electricity passes through it will glow without producing any heat, and consumes a very low wattage. This material is also known as EL lighting (Electro-Luminescent) it is completely safe and produces no adverse effects such as radiation or other harmful things. They produce a soft glow that won't hurt your eyes like some filament-type bulbs can, which makes them perfect for lighting up specific areas without flooding everything else, such as in movie theatres and Planetariums. The applications are just about endless.

Battery driven power module

This battery module allows you to replace the 12 volt DC power inverter that comes with each Lightstrip kit with one that works off of (2) AA alkaline batteries for complete mobility!

• Made of durable black plastic
• Dimensions: 20.3mm x 35.5mm x 89.5mm
• Takes (2) AA size alkaline batteries
• Provides power for over 10 hours straight
• Fully compatible with Tweakmonster EL Lightstrips AND window appliques
• Removable belt clip included
• Has inline quick-connector for direct replacement of Tweakmonster 12 volt EL power inverters
• Push button on/off switch

This makes it easy to add some EL lighting to places that would normally not be viable for power supply reasons, such as windows, doors, fish tanks, bicycles, etc.
