Gents,



I've been considering my options for instrument lighting, and ended up

buying some electroluminescent wire.  I thought I might run two

lengths of this stuff -- one tucked under the coaming, to light the

panel, and another above the switch panel to light the switch legends.



I saw that this stuff is driven by some kind of oscillator, and I

wonder if this is likely to cause radio interference and noise.



Does anyone have any information or experience?



Many thanks in anticipation,



James

Hi James,

I used electroluminescent tape about 1" wide above the instrument panel 

in my RV-6A. It was powered by an oscillator (I don't remember the 

frequency). It fully illuminated the panel and there was no evidence of 

interference on the radio.



Regards,

Richard Dudley
