What is Electroluminescent Cable?
The design and construction of EL cable is similar to a coaxial cable. The outside electrode is composed of two thin copper wires twisted in a spiral configuration around a semi-conductive phosphor. The actual light is emitted due to the properties of the semi-conductive phosphor between the copper-wire electrodes. The cable is cool to the touch and never gets hot.

U can wrap it around stuff, IDK i thought it'd look kool
plus it's uber cheap
but your prolly right, CCFL's would be alot better, I might get some uv paint and a couple of UV cathodes and make it really shine
