> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThese 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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI use these to light my LEGO City, and they are fantastic. My wife is using them to illuminate the cards she makes.

> 24 hourHaving these extra colors (and I also ordered extra thread) means I can go further on one costume or make one color lighting string on the costume. Its really cool seeing something I made light up!

> 24 hourThese work just fine. I used a few on a glove wearable project and they were super bright.

> 24 hourI was surprised by their small size. It is a good think really because I’m using them for wearable electronics

> 24 hourIm 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.

> 24 hourAll working out of the box. Nice set of lilypad leds. Voltage is 3 volts. Decent soldering on all of them.

> 24 hourA nice selection of colors. I use these for costume clothing. The built in resistor allows you to work with AA batteries.
LilyPad LEDs for arduino or raspberry pi
This is a simple pack of five Red/Yellow/White/Blue/Green LilyPad LEDs that are still attached to one another, letting you snap the LEDs apart at your leisure to sew into clothing or whatever else you can dream up.
Sewable electronics combine traditional craft processes (sewing, fashion design, and textile design) with electrical engineering, computer science, and hardware skills.
More effective conductive contact area
Compared to original lilypad LEDs，the effective conductive contact area in lilypad LEDs has double.
Each LilyPad piece was creatively designed with large sew tabs to allow them to be sewn into fabric. Various input, output, power and sensor boards are available.
Tiny sewable electronic pieces for e-textile projects
The LilyPad system is a set of sewable electronic pieces designed to help you build soft, sewable, interactive e-textile projects. Using LilyPad pieces is a great way to experiment with electronics through the lens of crafting. Each LilyPad piece has large conductive sew tabs for easy sewing and a rounded shape so as not to snag fabric or cut thread.
With sewable electronics, you can create e-textiles (electronic textiles), which are often wearable, flexible projects that look less like traditional electronics and more like craft and art projects. Many e-textile projects replace wiring with flexible conductive materials such as conductive thread and fabric. For the projects in this guide, we will be sewing circuits together with conductive thread.
