EL wire was a bust :/ back to LED's

I had high hopes for EL wire but it seems its a bust its orange wire but it glows white and emits only a dim light ho hum (as you can see from the photo) Bonus Atlas for mech bay scale a couple of mm to spare but with the door on he'll have to duck

I bought some orange LED's (I believe they will work with the EL wire controller) they were a few quid we'll see tomorrow how they turn out. If not them I'll have to pum for the more expensive kits from the model shops.
