A lightning bolt-shaped COB (Chip-on-Board) LED filament that produces a warm, uniform glow similar to classic Edison-style LED bulbs. Dozens of micro LED diodes are bonded to a rigid metal backing and coated in silicone for durability. The ultra-thin PCB substrate allows some light to pass through the back, creating a subtle secondary glow.
Key Features
- COB LED Technology – Warm, consistent glow from dozens of micro LED diodes
- 3V Operation – LEDs wired in parallel, powered from both ends
- PWM Dimmable – Adjustable brightness via pulse-width modulation
- Max Current – 100 mA (use a current-limiting resistor)
- Rigid Construction – Non-flexible design with silicone-coated metal backing
- Polarity Marked – Cathode (−) marked on the PCB
Ideal For
- Miniature displays and dioramas
- Dollhouses and themed projects
- Decorative lighting and signage
- LED art installations
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.
