- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA3865:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3865:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

Adafruit love discovering new and exotic glowing things. Like moths to the flame, they were intrigued by these fresh Flexible Silicone Neon-Like LED Strips! They look a lot like neon, but without the need for expensive transformers, glass tubing or inert gasses.

Super flexible and bendy, they feature a single-colour non-addressable LED strip with a solid chunk of translucent silicone rubber as a diffuser. They look incredible, and super easy to use and are a great way to make your projects light up!

The silicone makes for a strong, durable weather-proof casing. They're not for dunking underwater or long-term outdoor exposure but they seem durable enough for projects that have to survive the outdoors, like costumes, bike lighting or festival decorations.

You'll get a 1-meter long strip with two power wires. Provide 9V (bright) to 12V (very bright!) and the tubing starts to glow. No soldering is required! You can attach these with a [2.1mm DC Barrel Jack](https://core-electronics.com.au/female-dc-power-adapter-2-1mm-jack-to-screw-terminal-block.html), plug into your favourite [12V supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/12v-dc-2a-fixed-2-1mm-tip-appliance-plugpack.html), and voilà! Instant, glowy goodness. For portable use, try Adafruits [8 x AA battery packs with NiMH rechargeable or Alkaline batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/8-x-aa-battery-holder-with-5-5mm-2-1mm-plug-and-on-off-switch.html).

Note these are not 'NeoPixel' LED strips, you can turn the whole thing on or off, but you cannot turn on individual LEDs or change the colours. You can cut the silicone cover and LED strip up if you like, you might end up breaking one or two LEDs in the process but it is possible!
