KOOKYE Lilypad LEDs Red/Yellow/White/Blue/Green (25x Lilypad LED) Wearable E-Textile Sewable Electronicsfor Arduino Rapsberry Pi Microcontroller Board

I own and operate a few 3D printers as a hobby and one of my pastimes is designing, printing, and assembling 3D printed LED lights. Ive been wanting to try some SMD LEDs on a light but cant bring myself to butcher up one of the many LED strips I have lying around.

Im working on a couple of different Lilypad LED projects - a hat and a vest. These are priced right, bright and easy to use. For clothing, conductive thread is the best bet. Im used to the more traditional old-school - use thin wire, solder it to the LEDs and sew the wires in a few spots to keep it in place and pull them through hems and along seams. Conductive thread makes this so much easier. These light up between 2.5 and 5.5 volts (5.5 is the max for Lilypad .) That means that you can power these manually via a USB battery pack.

These worked (I used them for a STEAM class for elementary school) although I’ll note that some of the colors are more vibrant than others.

I was surprised by their small size. It is a good think really because I’m using them for wearable electronics

I knew they were small but boy are they small. I thought the cables for installation came with but I was wrong. I do have the cables needed so I’ll still be able to get the project done. I tested them all prior to using them because it’s something I do with any just received lights. It’s just easier now instead of finding a non working one later. I’m happy with the quality of them and would purchase them again. Four Stars!!!

I use these to light my LEGO City, and they are fantastic. My wife is using them to illuminate the cards she makes.

I’ve used these for science activities in my classroom. They work perfectly in paper circuits and etextile projects.

I like these. Theyre small and easy to incorporate into all kinds of projects. They are clearly labeled with the appropriate color on the back, since they all look the same when not powered on. All of the colors (my set included red, green, blue, white, and yellow) are bright even at lower voltages. Unfortunately they dont come with any data or documentation, but after a little searching it looks like these are 5v components (although I tested at 3.3v and theyre still bright at that voltage).

I bought this set for my weaving project. They are working pretty good.

I bought these to add to a LilyPad kit I purchased. They work great and are a decent price compared to others I looked at. My daughters and I used them to make light up masks.
