Here it is, a still pic doesnt do it justice, the cable is flattened, with the middle have the "moving" lights. It is not bright so dont expect to be blinded at night.

Oh wow! So is the cable flat for the full length of the cable?
Also, did you get the black with Purple lights?

Thanks :)
 
Yes flat for the whole length, the lights run the entirety of the cable. I got Black cable Blue light.

Just picked one up. Looks great but won't stay connected to my phone when it's in the magpul case. :(
 
It doesn't.

What is Electroluminescence (EL)?

Electroluminescent panels are paper thin laminated panels that illuminate as an electrical current is passed through the panel. This Electroluminescence is created when phosphor crystals with coloured overlays are sandwiched between conductors, and as an electrical current is applied, the phosphor crystals rapidly charge and emit light which illuminates the printed overlay.

EL lamps are produced in many forms such as Electroluminescent panels, EL Tape or EL Wire. The low power consumption makes Electroluminescent technology one of the most energy efficient light sources available.

el cables still draw power, however slight. if i put in another battery then i wouldn't worry about it. i don't really want the cable anyway. i think it's like boyricers that have neon under their cars. it's just tacky.

people who buy oem products at msrp are funny :D

and hows a cable gonna drain the battery? :rolleyes:

are you implying half the people on this site don't buy everything directly from apple?

because i have a laptop with a bad battery that's never plugged in.
