EL Wire

http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Full-How-Too-Manual-For-EL-Electroluminesce/

Electroluminescent wire (often abbreviated to EL wire) is a thin
copper wire coated in phosphor, which glows when an alternating
current is applied to it. It can be used in a wide variety of
applications- vehicle and/or structure decoration, safety and
emergency lighting, toys, clothing etc - much as rope light or
Christmas lights are often used. Unlike these types of strand lights,
EL wire is not a series of points but produces a 360 degree unbroken
line of visible light. Its thin diameter makes it flexible and ideal
for use in a variety of applications such as clothing or costumes.
