Here's the easiest way to add a cool white LED element for costuming or lighting effects or... something else? Of course, you could also just use this Cool White LED Ring Light as a lighting addition to your photo and video projects. Deceptively small and slim, this LED ring is very bright and could not be easier to use. Hook it up with 5V power and 500mA current...

Our favorite food when hacking on code or electronics is a hot bowl of noodles - and around NYC these are often called 'noods'! What we've got here are flexible LED noodles, in different lengths and colors. All are not good for eatin' but they are good for cool lighting effects These are often seen in 'Edison-like' LED bulbs, shaped into hearts or stars or just wound...
