The panel can either be sewn onto the t-shirt or velcro-ed. Can you see the light up effect during the day? Yes! The design is printed on an EL panel, using technology that is similar to the dashboard of your car. Like your speedometer, when the shirt is not connected to power you can see the printed design – but when lit up the colors within the design will illuminate through backlighting. You’ll be able to see the lighting effect better in darker settings than light – especially not bright sun (just like your dashboard!). What powers the shirt? The EL panel is powered by 2 AAA batteries inserted into the battery pack, which is concealed in a sleeve and pocket sewn inside the shirt. Can we wash the light up shirts? Light up shirts with sewn on panels are hand wash only. If your light up panel is attached with velcro, then you can simply unplug the battery pack (remove batteries first) and peel the panel off the shirt before washing as normal. Once dry you can reassemble the panel and battery pack. Do the shirts run small?
