Very bendy!
These are so fun and unusual. After giving them a try in a few wearable projects, I can tell you they offer a stunning light source for your projects.
Ignite your wearable tech with ultra-flexible mock Edison LED filaments—stunning, bendy light sources perfect for e-textiles and prototypes!
Available in blue, red, green, and pink (3V, 130mm/260mm/300mm lengths), these feature embedded LEDs along their length with easy metal tabs:
- holed end = positive,
- solid end = ground.
Power with a coin cell battery right out of the package for instant glow!
These are mock Edison Bulb Filaments, LEDs are along the length of these filaments.
It has a metal tab on each end, the one with the hole in it is the positive connection. The ground has no hole in it.
Currently available are:
Using a coincell battery you can check them out as soon as they arrive. Just put the positive side of the battery against the metal part with a small hole in it, and the ground of the battery to the solid side, and watch your filament light up!
Key Features
-
Extreme flexibility lets you curve, twist, and shape them into jewelry, garment accents, or circuit highlights without breaking.
-
illumination mimics vintage filaments but runs cool and efficient at DC 3V—ideal for battery-powered ESP32 integrations or standalone bling.
-
Simple polarity (test with CR2032 battery) makes them beginner-friendly for sewable projects using conductive thread or snaps.
Maker Applications
Weave into wearables for touch-activated glows, edge Prym snap circuits with accent lighting, or backlight OLED housings—pairs perfectly with conductive threads for durable connections, or breadboard it in your prototypes, or solder it to your finished projects.
These fun, unusual LEDs transform ordinary prototypes into mesmerizing tech-fashion hybrids—grab multiple colors and lengths to experiment today!
