Tips
- Ensure all LED or EL wire battery packs are securely fastened and insulated so they do not overheat against your skin.
- Test your glowing elements in a dark room beforehand to make sure the light distribution looks balanced.
- Wear comfortable, breathable base layers, as metallic synthetic fabrics can trap body heat over time.
