LED yarn from Innovatech LED is one of my favorite products. It's bright and strong enough for stage use. We've used it in corsets, dresses, and have plans for many other uses soon. I originally saw this product at the LED show in Las Vegas (it's now in California every year). I instantly saw the applications and have even recommended and seen it put into a Cirque Du Soleil show on the Las Vegas strip.
It comes in various colors including, white, red, blue, green, yellow, teal, magenta, rose gold, and purple; and sizes ranging from a meter to 4 meter. Can also be ordered in 300 feet spools for bulk construction. It is easy to work with as a plug and play and easy to sew into wearables with the tab provided along it's entire length.
The LEDs are waterproof with a cap for washing, and the company claims that it is strong enough to be pulled on the long axis up to 66 pounds. I keep wanting to try it myself, but haven't had the chance and I'd rather sew it and use it than break one by hanging it.
Splicing it is a little difficult due to the smaller wire size, but someone skilled in soldering should be able to do it fairly well. I recommend and use a modified linesman's splice for all my splices to give it some added strength. I also recommend a fray check or quick drying glue to clean up the yarn after splicing.
This is one of my favorite products and I plan to use for numerous other designs.
