Specs / 3D view / Run calculator
Specs, not adjectives.
Three sizes of flexible, round, pixel-addressable LED rope. Turn it, light it, bend it, then read every number you need to draw it in and patch it.

The 3D view needs WebGL. The picture above is a frame of it; every number is in the sheet below.

Rendered to the real numbers: diameters, pixel pitch, 28 mm steel end caps, NL4 feed. Spaghetti's minimum bend is 2 in (50 mm) to centerline. Angel Hair and Bucatini bends are checked per shape, so ask. The Inside view is an illustrative section of the construction: solid diffused silicone around a double-sided PCB. Need the geometry in your own software? The design kit has GDTF, STEP, OBJ and GLB.
Three sizes, one pixel logic.

Power figures are maximums at full white. Pixel counts round up: a partial pixel still costs a full address. No UL claims, no brightness claims we have not measured.
Tell it the length. It does the patch.
Every run is a strand up to 10 m fed from one output. Longer lines are more runs. The length snaps up to the next cut point so every piece still maps cleanly.

Tubes draw straight lines. Shows don't.
Swags, curtains, chandeliers, floor outlines, garlands, sculpture: the shapes designers sketch first are the ones rigid fixtures can't make. Noodles by KG3 makes the curve the default and keeps every pixel mappable.

Which size
Angel Hair for fine lines and wet locations. Spaghetti for most stage work and tight bends; the tightest pitch in the range and the one you'll spec most. Bucatini when the line needs weight and has to read from the back of the room.
Built to hang.
Purpose-made rigging rings: a split shaft collar with two eyebolts, used in pairs. One at each segment end, one every 4 to 5 m. Clip to truss, cable or a pick. Keep the bend above the minimum radius and it hangs the same every night.
Every piece is labeled, NL4 in and out, and built to be swapped by a tech at 2 am.
Built to run.
For shows: KG3 PXL CTRL boxes. sACN, Art-Net and DMX, 4- and 8-output rack units, 24V 600 W auto-switching supply (100-240 VAC). One universe per run, and a 10 m run of any size always fits.
For installs: KG3 Magic Controllers. WLED, app and wireless control, no console required.
In the plot: free GDTF per size with modes for 1, 3, 5 and 10 m runs, 3D models for sweeps and renders, and Capture LED Strip settings.
It has already been on the road.
- Arena pop tour: a rope chandelier flown above the stage.
- Amphitheater show: a swag wall of rope across the stage.
- Holiday light-walk: a winding green garden path and an ice-blue cave floor, outlined on the ground.
- 2026 touring package: about 430 m of rope, delivered with an operator guide and owner kit.
Rent it, buy it, or have us hang it.
Rent
Stock lengths of 3, 5 and 10 m, weekly rates, tour pricing for long runs.
Buy
Owner kit and operator guide included. Custom lengths cut on the pixel pitch.
Deploy
KG3 designs, builds, ships and installs it. Concept to load-out, one call.
Design studios: our Spec Partner program pays on what you spec. Rental houses: dry-hire sub-rental and dealer pricing. Ask at info@kg3.io.
Short answers.
- What is Noodles by KG3?
- Flexible, round, pixel-addressable LED rope in three sizes, sold and rented as a system with design files, rigging rings and control.
- Is it really 360 degree?
- Spaghetti and Bucatini emit 360 degrees. Angel Hair emits 270 degrees and reads round from most angles.
- How tight can it bend?
- Spaghetti bends to a 2 in (50 mm) minimum radius to centerline. Ask us for a bend check on Angel Hair and Bucatini shapes.
- How do I control it?
- Like any pixel fixture: sACN, Art-Net or DMX through KG3 PXL CTRL boxes, or WLED through KG3 Magic Controllers for standalone installs.
- How many universes do I need?
- One per run. A run is up to 10 m, and a 10 m run of any size fits in one universe.
- How does it hang?
- From purpose-made rigging rings, used in pairs, one at each segment end and one every 4 to 5 m.
- Can I get custom lengths?
- Yes. Custom lengths are cut on the pixel pitch (62.5 mm on Spaghetti, 100 mm on Angel Hair and Bucatini), so every piece still maps cleanly.
- Can it go outside?
- Angel Hair is IP68, Spaghetti IP67, Bucatini IP65. Tell us the location and exposure and we'll recommend a size.
- Rent or buy?
- Both. Rent stock lengths by the week, buy with an owner kit, or have KG3 deploy it for you. Quotes from info@kg3.io.
