Quoted from Chosen_S:

Just for reference...
Williams Space Station pinball has 2 GI circuits.
One for normal white, one for multi ball green
Normally white is turned on, when multi ball is achieved, "condition green" goes into effect, and the GI changes from white to green.
I'd like to connect 2 el wiring schemes, one to the white GI, one to the green GI
So unfortunately, I need to pull the 6v from the GI for the EL wire to turn on and off consistently with the corresponding GI

This is what I did with LED light strips:

Where do you plan to install the EL strips?

Wow, that looks great!
I was going to run the el along the rails

I'm assuming inside the cabinet. Have you considered when you need to raise the playfield?
Which is why I used the Aluminum "L" channels.

I connected my circuit to the power supply in the lower right corner of the back box. It is 12 V DC.
Thinking ahead, The EL would look great along the Space Station ramp. Particularly since I have a clear ramp!

Here are a few more pictures of mine.
