Building a flexible 'neon' t-shirt from LED filaments
Original: Making a flexible "neon" t-shirt with LED filaments
An engineer has documented building a wearable t-shirt that mimics the glow of a neon sign using flexible LED filament, typically used in custom light strips. The write-up covers the practical challenges of wiring, bending and powering the filaments in fabric so the shirt drapes like normal clothing while lighting up like glass neon. Hacker News readers are discussing the build's electronics and craft details.
Why now: The project combines DIY electronics and wearables in an eye-catching way, drawing attention from the maker community.
