    This is pretty cool (albeit slightly expensive) How bright is it? With the inverter is there anything special about it, could I make my own? Also how long does it last (battery and durability wise)? Sorry for all the questions! You guys are the best

      I've run the larger panel on the INV133 for over 10 hours (I left work before it died). As far as brightness goes, it's fairly bright for EL Material. It won't be noticeable in sunlight but it is noticeable in most other lightening conditions. If you're familiar with inverter design, I'd say it wouldn't be hard to make your own.
