are light-up clothes safe to wear?
Yes! LEDs operate on low voltage circuits, and are extremely safe to the wearer, even if you get them wet (although moisture may interfere with an active circuit – see washing directions above). EL wire and EL panels use a high-voltage inverter, and pose some risk if the wire or the inverter is damaged and you touch two live leads to your skin. We’d classify it as more of an “annoying tingling” than a shock, but we make every effort to seal these parts anyway. As is the case with most consumer electronics, the most dangerous part is the battery. We recommend that you take common-sense precautions, such as not storing keys or coins near exposed battery contacts.
