This fantastic new ‘Electro-Fashion’ range from Kitronik has been specially designed so that electronics can easily be used in textile applications; they allow lighting effects to be added to textiles designs without soldering.

The kits use ‘conductive thread’ which is a thread that can be used like cotton thread but conducts electricity like a wire.

This kit uses our own custom designed ‘stitchable’ coin cell holder. This has the benefit of large, easy to stitch connection points (no more difficult little holes!) and clearly marked terminals which show the battery polarity.

Features:

  • Easily add lights to textiles projects.
  • Easy to stitch connection points.
  • Clearly marked battery polarity terminals.
  • No soldering required.

Questions and answers

    What would I need in addition to this for the on/off facility? As the 'eyes' would be in a toy and I was hoping a 'squeeze' in the tum would turn it on and off :-)

    Answered by the admin You'd need a latching switch like this one. A latching switch stays on when pressed once and turns off when pressed again. Alternatively you could use an electrofashion push switch that stays on only while held down. This has the advantage of prolonging battery life as you can't forget to switch it off.
  2. Electro-Fashion, Sewable LED Kit I was considering buying this kit (with the idea that my year 9 students will put light up eyes on their animal cushions). I am puzzled about how the eyes will switch on and off. I am also concerned about the cost. What would be the cheapest way to buy equipment for 100 pupils? thanks

    Answered by the admin Hi, this kit is very simple and doesn't have any switches included. You could turn the LEDs off by removing the battery or by otherwise breaking the connection. As for price you could buy 100 coincell holders for 90p each ex VAT. Two or three 45m bobbins of conductive thread and 100 LEDs. This works out dramatically cheaper than 100 of these kits.
