electrical engineer student here to explain the sounds and the brightness. So the EL invertors will take 2AA batteries (3VDC) and step it up to over 100VAC at a pretty high frequency (I think 2 KHz) Since ~2KHz is in the audible range, we can literally HEAR the AC electricity flowing, which is the humming noise. Traditionally with EL wire, the higher the frequency, the brighter the wire will be, but the hum will also be "louder".

Highschool dropout here. I like your comment and wanted to mention an additional biological thing adding to that. The human eye's vision perceives the apparent "brightness" of color across the visible spectrum differently even if the same "brightness" (I know they're not in this case, but). Somewhere between green and yellow is sort of the peak and falls off at either end of the spectrum from there. So sometimes, especially that color, it can very much appear "brighter" when it's not. So the green EL wire get's a bonus point on top of what you said vs the other. Knowing this you can create certain optical illusions quite easily. Eyes are weird.

Man you guys put in a lot of work and pretty decent production quality for the amount of hits you're getting. Might need to get a marketing intern.

You guys are right, EL is not bright at all in daylight, the red is least impressive. It is pretty cool to outline your tent at night.

You know, you guys could have filmed at night or had a way to dim the lights or had some b-roll of wearing the El wire at night. But an entertaining video
