StarBoard Flexible LED Strip - Green (5 pack)

Replacement: None. We are no longer carrying this product, but check out the rest of our e-textiles section! This page is for reference only.

These strips of flexible PCB are each populated with a green surface mount LED and a 330 Ohm current limiting resistor. Flexible LED strips are the perfect way to add light to your project while retaining the greatest amount of flexibility. They are great for crafts, e-textiles, or any application where flexibility is a concern.

By using fusible interfacing you can iron the boards directly onto most fabrics. Also, because the flexible PCB material is a thin plastic film, you can easily hand-sew or machine-sew through them with conductive thread. The large, easy-to-connect pads can also be trimmed to whatever size you need.

These are sold in packs of 5.

Note: The star shape denotes the positive side of the LED.

Note: This product is a collaboration with Meredith Scheff. A portion of each sales goes back to her for product support and continued development.

    Do these come in other colors? White, perhaps?
    oops, never mind! found them!

    I love the idea of flexible electronics. E-textiles are cool but I'd love to see cylindrical PCB's. I know manufacturing would be a pain, but it'd be great for rockets and other cylindrical type of applications.

      that would basically involve thinking in "n-layer PCB" construction. design would probably be worse than manufacture (see: stackable headers) because you have to restrict your signalling to either a very few datastreams, or use a/several bus(es)

    I like this, a lot.
    Would I have to worry about fraying/bad things if I were to cut down the size a bit? It seems to be the kind of thing you could snip without much harm (as long as the actual traces to the resistor and LED aren't somehow cut off)

      were you able to cut them down and still have them work? please let me know so i can do the same.

      I doubt it. I believe these are made out of the same material as the SeedDuino. I suggest you use a pair of scissors as opposed to diagonal cutters.
