Hi Guys,

I have a Dedicated 4 Slot and the EL panels don't light up. (sorry not LED) I tested that there's power going to them, I just don't know anything about the glowing panels and how to find replacements etc.

Does anyone know what anything about them?

thanks, that's good stuff.

man $80~ to fix all four panels in my marquee....
 
Well worth it though. Trust me. The pics are from my six-slot cab. They were all dead but one when I got it. The one that worked was dim. Once you replace them you probably won't need to again unless you put it on location for several years.
 
Ok, I lucked out.... sort of...
Someone sent me the 6 EL panels out of his trash pile for $15 and I put 4 of them on my header. They light up unlike most of my other ones but they are not very bright. All 5 that I tested are very dim. Maybe 1/3 the brightness I think it needs to cut through a light room to show which slot is fired up.

Do these panels go out over time like they fade or can it be my ballast is not firing it up properly. I know little about EL lighting.
 
It's not the inverter, it's a bad panel. They all do that over time.

You can buy new panel material off of fleabay. Simply trim it to fit and use the existing inverter.
