We've all seen electroluminescent (EL) wire-- its 360-degree glow is amazing, but its power requirements and flexibility aren't. To solve this problem and give you unlimited opportunities to realize all of your TRON-like fantasies for model-building, we present our 300mm flexible LED filament.

These filaments are truly amazing.  Operating on 3V DC, there are hundreds of microscopic LED lights inside the rubberized, flexible outer shell.  Power connections are on both ends (one end is positive and the other is negative).

• WHAT’S INCLUDED: Each pack includes five filaments of the selected color. 


• POWER: These operate on just 3V DC, with a forward voltage drop for all colors of approximately 2.56v, but because of all the LEDs inside, each filament consumes approximately 120mA of power, so we don't recommend coin cell batteries for power (you *can* run them with coin cells, of course, but your batteries will run out very quickly).  Nor do we recommend driving them directly from a microcontroller without the use of a high-current driver like a MOSFET.


• Please note, these are a DIY product, so you’ll have to solder your own connecting wires.  If you’re using more than 3 volts as a power source, you’ll also have to add resistors or use a voltage regulator. 


• Looking for filament longer than 300mm?  You can solder sections end-to-end (though you’ll need to increase your supply power by 3V for each segment that is daisy-chained).
