Very cool EL Lamp created by new submitter, LucidMovement  recently created this very cool way to make another use out of EL Wire. Check out this video for more information on it. The inspiration behind the lamp is obviously a DNA double-helix, but what you may not know is to grow the crystals, LucidMovement  built a helix-shaped growing substrate from nichrome and Electroluminescent Wire and submerged in a warm aluminum solution. As soon as crystallization occurred, it was mounted in an acrylic tube, and sealed with silicon. Pretty cool stuff!

Credit Aquabumps Australia. Known for is cute lovable Koala bears, Fosters (Australian for beer), and now Night Surfing. Taking the world by storm, this up and coming sport takes EL Wire and gives it an amazingly cool use. Sewed neatly along a wetsuit, along with EL Wire glued to a surfboard, this new sport gives surfers the ability to surf day or night. The use of Waterproof EL Wire Battery Packs  enable the EL Wire to be completely submerged in water, while still functioning perfectly.
