Sewable Light Kit - Colour Changing

This kit allows 'colour changing' lighting effects to be added to textiles designs without soldering by using conductive thread to connect the electronic parts.

This fantastic new 'Electro-Fashion' range from Kitronik has been specially designed so that electronics can easily be used in textile applications; they allow lighting effects to be added to textiles designs without soldering.

The kits use 'conductive thread' which is a thread that can be used like cotton thread but conducts electricity like a wire.

This kit uses our own custom designed 'stitchable' coin cell holder. This has the benefit of large, easy to stitch connection points (no more difficult little holes!) and clearly marked terminals which show the battery polarity.

• Easily add lights to textiles projects.
