Step 3Finished!
The EL panels run off of regular AC house current, so all that was left to do was get some lamp cord, connect all the red wires to one cord wire and all the white wires to the other, and add a switch and plug.
Originally I thought that 25 panels would produce more light, so my idea was to make this a small desk lamp or bedside reading light. However, it doesn't produce enough light to read by, so I made it a hanging light instead. It seems about as bright as the full moon shining through a window, and it looks really cool from outside, like a glowing japanese paper lantern.
