I am looking for a good cheap source for generic EL panels for
some older equipment retrofit. Has anyone done EL panel replacement? Can
you just cut them down without damaging them?
How critical is the voltage range to drive them?

Sharp shears will cut them with little problem, but always measure to assure a
clean separation between the elements.

The voltage for most phosphors is about 85 to 135 Volts AC at about 400 to 800
hertz. They will work on 60 hertz at a reduced output.
