    Lightbulb Transparent wires for LED-strips

    In chemistry class the other day, we talked about polymers.
    Apparently, they make transparent conductive plastics nowadays.

    Since an issue with for instance Makoto blades (especially with the srolling
    effect) is the visibility of wires, i thought why not use transparent wires?

    No need to worry about those pesky wires showing up anymore!

    This stuff comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

    Great idea but how do you solder it to the leads from the led to hold the connection.

    You may be able to hot glue them on, or even melt some of the plastic on and use that as 'solder'.

    Good find. Posts like these make me wonder where things will be in 5 years time.

    This looks like something that you would have to pin. But maybe a little melting would work.
