COST (Depends on sign size):
• This sign was 7 feet x 4 feet / approx 100 feet of EL Wire lettering: $58
COST COMPARISON TO LED ROPE LIGHTS:
EL Wire: $58 vs LED Rope Lights: $200-$500= about 10 times cheaper

FUNCTIONAL COMPARISON of EL WIRE vs LED ROPE LIGHTS:
• EL Wire is not as bright and doesnt work as well in daylight in comparison to LED Rope Lights. Therefore, in my opinion EL Wire should only be used in dark settings.
