I am looking for a good cheap source for generic EL panels for

you just cut them down without damaging them?
How critical is the voltage range to drive them?

1. Good and cheap are sometimes mutually exclusive. How much do you
want to spend, say, per square inch?

2. I have.

3. Usually.

4. Not very. 90 to about 120VRMS will usually work OK. You can change
the brightness by varying the voltage and the color (somewhat) by
changing the frequency. Life to half-brightness varies inversely
with brightness and with frequency.
