In order for your GLOWIRE to glow, you must use a
driver. The driver takes a DC input voltage and provides an AC output
voltage of approximately 120 volts.
The type of driver you need for your project
depends on several things:
- the amount
of GLOWIRE you need to run
- the input
voltage (3 volt, 9 volt, 12 volt)
- the
brightness you desire
Our drivers are listed in the chart below to help
you find out which one best suits your needs. The higher the frequency,
the brighter the wire and the lower the frequency, the less bright.
Although GLOWIRE never burns out, it will become dimmer over time and this is
affected by the frequency of the driver. Typical useful lifetime is as
follows: (6 hours on, 18 hours off - reaching 30% of initial brightness)
Note: All drivers make a slight humming
sound. This is the audible sound of the frequency and is normal.
