Features:
The LilyPad LED Green (5pcs) can be used in a myriad of ways. For example, they can be sewn into clothing to create unique light-up designs, or integrated into other materials for creative lighting solutions. The LEDs are also a great way to introduce learners to e-textiles and wearable technology, providing a hands-on, engaging experience.
These LEDs are not only flexible in their application but also robust. Despite their thin 0.8mm PCB, they can withstand the rigours of sewing and washing. This durability, combined with their easy-to-use design, makes them an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced users alike.
Furthermore, SparkFun provides comprehensive documents and tutorials to support your projects, including schematics, datasheets, and guides on lighting up a basic circuit, customizing LilyPad LED colors, and more.
