Summary

  • LED filament strips are a popular choice for hobbyists because they come in a variety of colours and work at low operating voltages, but their silicone coating can cause problems when trying to attach them.
  • Blogger Boylei has come up with an easy and effective solution to the problem, showing how to use shrink tubing to protect the filament whilst providing an attachment point that glue will stick to.
  • The video demonstrates how to do this and also shows how LED filament strips can be used to create the illusion of laser blasts in a space battle diorama.
  • The LED filament strips can be bought relatively cheaply and are now more versatile than when they were first released, so are worth considering for projects.
