SewGlo™ HD 2.5m Kit

The SewGlo™ HD 2.5m Kit is a 2.5m long piece of SewGlo™ HD thread in your choice of colors. The SewGlo™ HD illuminated thread is a brand new type of illuminated wire, which is a little thicker (0.5mm vs 0.3mm), more robust (has roughly 4x more pull strength) and brighter (about 2-3x brighter depending on color) than our standard SewGlo™ thread product.  It can even be knotted, as the minimum bending diameter is roughly 0.1mm. Now you can sew illuminated accents into just about anything; clothing costumes, props, set design, automotive interiors, marine, aerospace, illuminated products, and much more. This is a ready made kit that comes with a pre-soldered end with multiple battery pack options.

Both soft and water resistant, SewGlo™ is able to be a 1:1 direct replacement for common thread, only SewGlo™ HD will provide illumination to anything it is sewn into. In the auto industry, making custom logos in seats, arm rests, visors and more, SewGlo™ HD provides an easy way to add lit decorative benefits for interior accent lighting capable of being sewn into leather and other thicker materials. In the wearable or smart textile (commonly referred to as “e-textiles”) market, adding luminescent accents to sporting goods, apparel, children’s clothing, backpacks, shoes, hats, or safety gear has never been easier. For stage performances, now lit accents can be added to props, backdrops, scenery, clothing and much more. In the electronics space, adding lighting to mobile phone cases, watches, headphones, glasses and more can add visual effects to commonly used items. It can even be used in medical devices, home décor, patio furniture, umbrellas, tents, to name just a few. The muted colors of SewGlo™ when off allow the product to blend into fabrics completely until illuminated.

We understand the need for SewGlo™ Illuminated thread to be washable. We’ve got your covered! The unique coating on the material is capable of multiple wash cycles (machine wash cold, hang dry). This allows even more uses for the product as it can actually be laundered and treated like regular clothing items!

In this kit, the battery pack options are as follows: the AAA Battery Pack, the AA Button Battery Pack and the two new options, the AAA Silent Battery Pack and the Silent Wave Rechargable Battery Pack. The AAA Battery Pack (takes 1AAA Battery, not included) is the smallest and most compact battery pack option. The AAA Silent Battery Pack (takes 2AAA Batteries, not included) is slightly brighter and will last longer coming in a touch larger in size. The AA Button Battery Pack (takes 2AAA Batteries, not included) allows you to feel the button through clothing and is the tallest of the battery options. The Silent Wave Rechargeable Battery Pack is a great way to have a reusable, rechargeable battery which also operates silently, and will last the longest (per charge). 

There has never been a better time to illuminate any type of textiles than now! For volume inquiries, please use our Project Submission Page and tell us about your project.
