    Question Source for EL lighting?

    Where do you get EL lighting from? And how much does it cost?
    I checked SVC and Newegg and they didnt have EL strips. Found a website called EL Custom Shop but their website is FUBAR. I am looking for a cheap source. Dont want to spend $25-$30 on it.

    You can use the stuff they have at targets and walmarts, its labeled for cars, and you'll have to put your own molex on, but it still works.

    Is the target/walmart stuff EL Cable or Cold Cathode? I was under the impression that the car stuff was cold cathode lights. If it's EL cable that'll be cool because cold cathodes come in 12" lengths and my case is only 10" cube so cold cathodes dont fit well.

    i think you can buy like 6 and 8" cold cathodes at wall mart.. and i know that i've seen 10" CCFL's online somewhere, btu that would be a tight fit.
