A warm-white LED filament shaped as the letter "G", made from COB (chip on board) LEDs — the same technology found in Edison-style LED bulbs. Dozens of micro LED diodes are bonded onto a thin metal backing and coated in silicone, producing a bright, uniform glow from both sides.

Lightweight and easy to mount, these filaments can be glued to surfaces, sewn to fabric, or suspended with fishing line. Arrange them into words or patterns for eye-catching displays and signage.

Key Features

  • Warm White COB LEDs – Mimics a classic tungsten filament with a uniform glow
  • Low Voltage (3V) – Simply connect to 3V with a current-limiting resistor (100mA max recommended)
  • Glows Both Sides – Thin PCB substrate allows light through front and back
  • Lightweight – Easy to glue, sew, or hang with fishing line
  • PWM Dimmable – Dim easily with pulse-width modulation, just like a standard LED

Specifications

  • Letter: G
  • Colour: Warm white
  • Operating Voltage: 3V
  • Max Current: 100mA (with resistor)
  • Connection: Solder tabs at both ends (cathode marked with – symbol)

Ideal For

  • Custom signage and word displays
  • Decorative lighting projects
  • Wearable electronics and fabric-mounted displays
  • Retro Edison-style lighting effects

Package Contents

  • 1× Alphabet LED filament, letter "G" (warm white)
Note: These filaments are NOT flexible. Connect to solder tabs at the bottom, or use quick-connect wire pairs. If it doesn't light up, try reversing the polarity.

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.
PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
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.
