Inside the long thin 3V LED filaments
Added 2022-01-05 06:57:09 +0000 UTCHaving seen these on a modelling channel I thought I'd get some to explore.

If you want some I'd recommend buying them from the listing in the description soon. When I link to specific sellers they tend to ramp the price up with demand.
The longest ones in that listing are the 300mm (12") version.

I would think the reason the LEDs are side emitting is becase
2022-01-13 20:21:32 +0000 UTCI can think of some fun analogue and digital clocks one could build.

2022-01-13 08:43:18 +0000 UTCI can see a lot of sparkle dog fursuiters using these. They'd make for some very interesting glowy markings. It'll be nice to see what people have done when the furry conventions get going again properly once covid is out of the way.

2022-01-07 22:14:09 +0000 UTCI've just ordered some to have a play with. £4.11 for 5 x 300 mm. All i've got to do now is think of a use for them!

2022-01-05 15:51:17 +0000 UTCDoes this mean that the future of good intensity red LEDs is not very bright?

2022-01-05 10:34:38 +0000 UTCI know about that. When I unpaused the recording it paused again. I didn't realize until after and had to unpause it properly and redo that bit.

2022-01-05 10:23:38 +0000 UTCJust to let you know there's a wee glitch in the video where you switch to the red filament at about the 6 min mark.
