## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA6143:1` (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/ADA6143:1.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.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This flexible LED filament is often seen in 'Edison-like' LED bulbs, arranged in different patterns to give a bright warm lighting effect. It's made of dozens of micro LED diodes that are bonded together on a flexible printed circuit backing, then coated in silicone for protection. Since the LEDs are in parallel, you only need ~3V to light 'em up - [Adafruit recommend current limiting with a resistor to let max 50mA through](https://learn.adafruit.com/all-about-leds).

Like Adafruit's longer n00ds, this filament is flexible despite its small size, and has a fairly uniform glow all the way around (although, up close you can see the mesh on the back side). It also has the two contacts on one end for easy installation.

Add some mini neon bling to your miniature sets, dioramas, dollhouses, mini-verses, what have you! Because they're just a 'big long LED' you can PWM dim them easily.

Simply power up with 3V by connecting to the double-ends - the anode positive should be the metal end with a little hole in it. If it doesn't immediately light up, try connecting the other way around, no biggie. [Don't forget to have a current limiting resistor!](https://learn.adafruit.com/all-about-leds)
