The many different diameter of el wire are available to allow the wire to be used in many different applications. The thinnest diameter, which is 1.2mm is extremely flexible and allows for supper detailed work but is not very durable and is not weatherproof. The next diameter, 2.3 and 2.5HB (the new high brightness technology) are the standard wires used, they allow for a balance between flexibility and durability. The 3.2mm and 5mm wires are extremely durable and allow for outdoor use.
