LilyPad LED Green (5pcs)
This is a simple pack of five 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.
LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Dr. Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. 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. They're even washable (with special care)!
Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Buechley for continued development and education in e-textiles.

Horrible
The LED's were horrible. They wouldn't break apart from each other or work.
Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with these. Please reach out to techsupport at sparkfun dot com and they should be able to help you further.
I use them all the time
So, yeah. I use them all the time for my Eye of Agamotto replica that I sell. I've purchased hundreds over the past 2 years. By "hundreds" I mean, as each little unit. Not hundreds of "5s". I've used at least 200 individual LEDs. Haven't had a single issue with, a single unit. And now, I'm ordering more.
Right now, I'm pushing 9volts into 6 in my Infinity Gauntlet replica without them overheating.
I’m happy I bought them
They shined very bright considering they are very small. However, it was very difficult to separate them, especially when there are only 2 together. All in all, they were a wise purchase
