Show HN: Making a flexible "neon" t-shirt with LED filaments
http://scottbezek.blogspot.com/2026/10/making-flexible-neon-t-shirt-with-leds.htmlOoo this is cool, I didn't know these exist. I once half made something like this with EL wire but I stopped after getting an electric shock from some EL tape. Turns out the edges are not at all insulated and you need high voltages to drive them. I'm not wearing that. 24V sounds much nicer.
Author here, happy to answer any questions!

This is great, because the one problem I have with the cyberpunk dystopian future we live in, is the disappointing lack of neon.
The pwm animation/flicker/ramp up was a REALLY nice touch
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Reminds me of a Japanese tech demo on YouTube I can't find right now, of projecting a flexible hologram on to a t-shirt with invisible markers.
