This flexible LED filament is often seen in 'Edison-like' LED bulbs, arranged in different patterns to give a bright warm lighting effect.
Adafruit product page: power up with 3V by connecting to the double-ended contacts; the anode positive is the metal end with a little hole in it; use current limiting.
Return contact for the flexible LED filament. If it does not light, Adafruit says to try the connection the other way around; do not infer a richer connector order beyond the two contacts.

| Anode | metal end/contact with little hole | power | Adafruit product page: power up with 3V by connecting to the double-ended contacts; the anode positive is the metal end with a little hole in it; use current limiting. |
3V LED supply, current limited; product page recommends max 50mA through the filament where stated · 0V return for 3V current-limited LED drive
Verify supply voltage and logic levels before powering up.
Module pins: Anode, Cathode. Schematik maps them to your board in the app.
