Adafruit product page: power up with 3V; the anode is the end with a little hole in it; use current limiting.
Type · PowerVoltage · 3V LED supply, current limited; product page recommends max 50mA through the filament where stated
Cathodeother end/contact
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.
