Is EL Lighting legal ?

electroluminescent (EL) lighting uses an inverter to raise the 12v voltage way up to drive the lights. The rules say custom circuits cannot have voltages over 24v relative to the battery ground. It is possible the inverter outputs are isolated from ground and might be legal.

Anyone know for sure ?
