> 3 dayA nice selection of colors. I use these for costume clothing. The built in resistor allows you to work with AA batteries.

> 3 dayThese are a good bargain LED to use with conductive thread like that in LilyPad kits. These are not as good as the Lilypad LEDs, but they work well enough. I tend to use a couple extra loops of thread through the holes on these LEDs before continuing the circuit stitching to ensure a good connection to the conductive area and not have any problem lights. I also test each light before using it in a project to avoid headaches.

> 3 dayThese work just fine. I used a few on a glove wearable project and they were super bright.

Greater than one weekIm 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.

Greater than one weekThese 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.

> 3 dayI bought this set for my weaving project. They are working pretty good.

> 3 dayI 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).

Greater than one weekIve recently gotten back into electronics. After many years, things sure have changed. I have really gotten into the Arduino because it can do so much. I am also new to lilypad, but love all the things you can do with them. Since the wife is into sewing and crafts, I am sure she will enjoy working with these.

> 3 dayI 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!!!
