Re: VibeLights.com
Mon, July 23, 2007 - 3:56 PMI just put in an order yesterday with them. Just checked my bank balance, and the payment has been submitted, so I'll let you know when it arrives.
Looks like they have some good stuff, I got some of those cold cathode car blacklights to illuminate my art car - I hear so much good feedback on cold cathode! -

Re: VibeLights.com
Mon, July 23, 2007 - 10:32 PMAre the cold cathode lights durable? Are they glass or plexiglass? Will they stand up to the playa? -

Tue, July 24, 2007 - 7:59 AMWrapping the cold cathod tube with clear packing tape is good moop insurance against breakage.

Re: VibeLights.com
Wed, July 25, 2007 - 11:34 PMThe outer tube is plexiglass or similar, the inner tube is glass. Moop isn't an issue, but if you really abuse them, they stop working.
They're reasonably rugged, but will not tolerate a lot of flexing since the inner tube is glass, and extreme vibration will kill 'em as well.
I melted holes in the outer tube, squirted in silicone seal and enclosed the whole thing in some Lexan tube for some damage prone areas on Roboshaw...

Re: VibeLights.com
Wed, July 25, 2007 - 4:53 PMIt seems to me that all the Burner-operated vendors tend to get good reviews. Coincidence? I think not.
Here in Boise we're lucky enough to have WorldAglow, AKA CoolLightWest. I use them and pick it up myself. I can even stay to cut and solder it there if I want -- how cool is that?

Thu, July 26, 2007 - 12:15 PMI ordered stuff last year and it shipped promptly, was packaged expertly, was good quality and has definitely lasted...not like th solder joints I did myself!

Re: VibeLights.com
Tue, August 7, 2007 - 10:24 PMI am so glad I found this tribe! From reading the good reviews, I decided to check out VibeLights because I would like to have some more EL wire this year.
I emailed them with tons of questions and got quick, informative responses. They were very patient with all my beginnger questions and offered advice on what might be the best way for me to go. (I'm not making my own but getting the EZ connect kits.)

Re: VibeLights.com
Thu, August 9, 2007 - 2:00 PMWell,
I am having the oppisite experence with VibeLights.com. I gat an e-mail saying they are having back order issues. I tried to call them and they have their machine on. I tried to e-mail then and they do not reply back.
I leave for the Playa in less then 16 days from today. I really need the EL Wire to make the sign for Ice Camp-9. I can only hope now.

Re: VibeLights.com
Mon, August 20, 2007 - 11:38 PMI ordered from them last year and all went smoothly. This year I used coolneon for a project that wound up being put on the back burner (maybe for decom)... They were great too.
All the burner-specific technologies, you want to give yourself some lead time. For future reference, you should plan to have your EL wire orders (as well as aluminet) by mid-July. Anything later and you wind up risking having to expedite the shipping, or worse finding yourself on backorder which could mess up your project timetable.

Re: VibeLights.com
Tue, August 21, 2007 - 6:52 AMWhat Trilo said. I happen to know that WorldAglow just received another large el-wire shipment and may be able to get something to you either on-Playa (I am happy to deliver and will arrive Monday) or by express shipment.

Re: VibeLights.com
Tue, August 21, 2007 - 3:31 PMThese guys came through for me last minute, I can't be happier. I was having a hard time reaching them at first, but they are super busy this time of year, So it's expected. They have the best prices on el wire. I give them a big thumbs up!!!

Re: VibeLights.com
Mon, September 17, 2007 - 2:20 PMI finally got my EL Wire.
However the colors were not deep enough. Nothing like what they advertised. I will look around more for the next Burn.

Re: VibeLights.com
Mon, July 21, 2008 - 3:48 PMorder'd, got my shipment promptly and it was wrong.
email'd them twice over week and a half and no response.
So far, they suck.
It's gonna be too late for me to rectify the situation since I leave in a week and a half.
