The glowing part of the panel is 10 cm x 10 cm (approx: 4\" x 4\"). There's a plastic coating is about 10.4cm x 10.4cm.

When an AC signal is applied to it, it glows an aqua (blue green) color. It looks a little like thin neon. Very bendable, it keeps its shape and you can curl it around your finger. Its an easy way to add some glow to a project, not as bright as LEDs but uses a lot less power!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular model is standard 2.3mm thickness EL wire, with a clear coat, pre-cut and soldered to a standard quick-connect EL wire.
