Has anyone experimented with electroluminescent wire, ribbon, or sheet as 'mood lighting' in their RF deck?

seems it would be easy to power.

The subject of mood lighting in the RF deck has been mentioned before but can't find it now.

That looks like some neat stuff there.  I use bulbs with Bulb condoms from an online pinball store.  I have had bad luck with LEDs.  They seem to burn out early.

My first thought about the EL would be RF hash out of that inverter.
