Looking to use our awesome 300mm flexible LED filaments with 5V DC, or with a Brickstuff power source? We've got you covered with these driver boards.
Sold in packs of 5 just like our flexible LED filaments, you pick if you want to solder them yourself or if you want us to do it for you.
Our 300mm flexible LED filaments are incredible, but if you need to run them with 5V DC, you'll need a beefy resistor. These handy little driver boards have a 1.5 watt resistor already soldered, and they have a Brickstuff standard (large) power plug on the front and solder tabs on the back if you want to use your own power source.
The flexible filaments are a DIY product, but if you'd like us to solder your 5-pack of flexible filaments to these driver boards, select that option above and we'll solder the filaments you buy to these driver boards for you. NOTE: the price above does not include the filaments-- you still need to buy those separately.
Because the flexible filaments have so many microscopic LEDs inside, we do not recommend powering them with coin cell batteries, as each filament consumes 80-120mA of power. Because of this, we also do not recommend driving the filaments directly from a microcontroller board, since most microcontroller boards are not designed to handle more than 20-30mA per output.
If you are Arduino-savvy, however, you can still use our filaments with our Arduino Shield, however, since that board has high-current drivers built in.
