We’ve got two colorful USB cables with LEDs! First up, the Blue and Red cable!
At first glance this appears to be an ordinary A to micro B USB cable. Plug it in to your device and power supply, and you get a colorful glitter of dozens of little LEDs embedded in the length of the cable.
Can be used for data and charging.
The LEDs are luminous but not too bright. Perfect for vampire makers, candy ravers, or maybe night owls who misplace their devices in the thick of night!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
