Add a little sparkle to your wearable project with Adafruit LED Sequins. These tiny sewable LED boards are the simpler sibling of Flora NeoPixels — they display a single colour with no digital control needed, making them smaller and easier to use for many projects.
Simply connect 3–6 VDC to the + pin and ground to the − pin, and the ruby red LED lights up. Use PWM (analogWrite) from a wearable microcontroller like the Adafruit GEMMA to create fade and twinkle effects, connect to a digital I/O pin for on/off control, or power directly from a LiPo or coin cell battery — no microcontroller required.
Key Features
- Ruby Red LEDs – Five matching red sequins per pack
- Simple Wiring – Just power and ground; no data pin or library needed
- Compact 1206 Size – Each LED is matched with a 220 ohm resistor on a tiny sewable board
- Low Power – Approximately 5 mA at 3.3 V; run 4–5 in parallel from a single microcontroller pin
- 3–6 V Operating Range – Compatible with coin cells, LiPo batteries, and microcontroller I/O pins
Ideal For
- Wearable electronics and e-textile projects
- Costume and cosplay LED accents
- Craft and sewable electronics for beginners
- Simple indicator lights on portable projects

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- LiPo
- A lithium polymer rechargeable battery commonly used in portable electronics projects. It matters because LiPo batteries need correct charging circuitry and care, and this board includes hardware intended for that battery type.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
