Illuminated Mask

Understanding Your Circuit

To light up the mask, we will be connecting the LEDs to the battery holder with conductive thread using a parallel circuit layout. In a parallel circuit, components are connected to get the same amount of power running through them. Each LED in the mask will shine as brightly as the others by sharing a connection to the battery. Most of the e-textiles projects we make use parallel circuits.

Learn more about parallel circuits and e-textiles in our Multiple LED Circuits tutorial.
