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

- 5× Adafruit LED Sequins – Ruby Red
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- LiPo
- A LiPo (lithium polymer) battery is a rechargeable lithium battery widely used in portable projects because it is light and compact. LiPo cells need correct charging circuitry and careful handling to stay safe, so equipment that supports LiPo generally includes charging or protection hardware suited to that battery type.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- 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.
