LilyPad LED Red (5pcs)

The LilyPad LED Red (5pcs) is a set of five interconnected LEDs in a vibrant red color, designed for easy separation and integration into any e-textile project. These LEDs are part of the LilyPad series, a wearable e-textile technology that's been cooperatively designed by Dr. Leah Buechley and SparkFun. Each LED is attached to a large sew tab, making it simple to sew them into fabric. Plus, they're washable with special care, so they'll withstand the rigors of daily wear.

The LilyPad LEDs are perfect for adding a touch of light to your wearable projects. Whether you're designing a flashy costume for a performance or creating a unique piece of interactive clothing, these LEDs will bring your vision to life. The red color adds a warm, vibrant glow that's sure to catch the eye.

Each LED measures 5.5mm x 12.5mm, making them compact enough to fit into even the smallest designs. They're mounted on a thin 0.8mm PCB, ensuring they won't add unnecessary bulk to your project. With five LEDs in each pack, you'll have plenty to work with, whether you're creating a small accessory or a large piece of clothing.

SparkFun supports continued development and education in e-textiles. Therefore, a portion of the sale of these LEDs is given back to Dr. Buechley, the co-designer of the LilyPad series. By choosing LilyPad LEDs, you're not just getting a high-quality product, but also contributing to the advancement of e-textile technology.

For additional guidance on using these LEDs, SparkFun provides a range of resources, including schematics, Eagle files, and a datasheet. There are also tutorials available, such as "Lighting Up a Basic Circuit", "LED Feelings Pizza", and "Customizing LilyPad LED Colors". These resources can be found on SparkFun's website and GitHub.
