Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 60 LED-1 Meter

NOTE: These strips are sold by the meter! It will be a cut piece from a reel which may or may not have a connector (2 or 3-pin JST) on it and have separated power/ground wires.

Now only 12.5 mm wide, 10 mm if you remove the strip from the casing. This strip has white-colored flex PCB, which will be less visible against white-painted walls.

Higher density means much higher power usage over a certain distance; 18 Watts max (3.5 Amps @ 5V) The max rating is assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful design is about 1/3 to 1/2 the max current. A good power supply such as our 5V 10A supply is key!

The protocol used is very timing-specific and can only be controlled by microcontrollers with highly repeatable 100nS timing precision. We have example code for using with the Arduino Uno/Mega microcontroller at 8MHz and 16MHz, but it will not work with the Raspberry Pi, Basic Stamp, NETduino, any other interpreted/virtual machine microprocessor or any processor slower than 8 MHz.

Specifications

• 12.5mm (0.65") wide, 4mm (0.16") thick with casing on, 16.7mm (0.65") long per segment
• 60 LEDs per meter
• Removable IP65 weatherproof casing
• Maximum 5V @ 60mA draw per 0.65" strip segment (all LEDs on full brightness)
• 5VDC power requirement (do not exceed 6VDC) - no polarity protection
• 1 integrated RGB LEDs per segment, individually controllable
• LED wavelengths: 630nm/530nm/475nm
• Connector: 2-pin JST SM
• We currently ship this product with the WS2812B 4-pin chip LED installed. Previous versions may have come with the WS2812S 6-pin LED. Both B and S LEDs can be chained together and are compatible with the NeoPixel Libary. The 'B chip type adds additional polarity protection and is the same brightness as the 'S type.
