Does anyone use EL foil anymore? My first EL saber had a EL foil blade, but it broke. I replaced it with a EL wire blade, but looking at photos the EL foil appears to have been much brighter. Anyone know if anyone is making blades with foil anymore?

Foil? I've never heard it referred to as that before. I believe that is an incorrect term, because it wouldn't work as an actual foil.
I know it as EL film. And there is also EL tape.
The problem is finding the right size for a blade. The tape is sold in widths that are too narrow for that application, and buying a big sheet of film would be expensive, unless you could find someone to cut it to the proper size and just sell you that piece.
EL wire it easier to work with and more durable. The new, High Brightness EL wires out now are comparable in brightness to the film that Parks uses in it's blades, I have made comparisions with my own EL blades that I make.
