NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - White PCB 144 LED/m - 1m
PRODUCT ID: 2847
Description
What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixels now have 4 LEDs in
them (red, green, blue
and
white) for excellent lighting effects.These LED strips are fun and
glowy, and you can control each LED individually!
This is the 144 LED/mRGBW strip with a White Casing and White PCB!We also have RGBW
NeoPixel strips of30 LED/m and 60LED/m.
The NeoPixel is 'split', one half is the RGB you know and love, the other half is a white LED with a
yellow phosphor. Unlit, it resembles an egg yolk. Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye
hurts) and can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel (8 x 4 channels = 32-bit color overall).
Great for adding lots of colorful + white dots to your project!

NeoPixelsare 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontrollerinside the LED. You can set the
brightness and color of each R/G/B/W with 8-bit PWM precision (so 32-bit color per pixel). The
LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or
lengthen the strip. Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The PWM is built into
each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to
PWM all the LEDs for you.
The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut
this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 0.65"/1.7cm (1 LED each). Solder
to the 0.1" copper pads and you're good to go. Of course, you can also connect strips together to
make them longer, just watch how much current you need!We have a 5V/2A supply that should be
able to drive 1 meter(depending on use) anda 5V/10A supply that can drive up to 4
meters(depending on use)You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use
higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip.

To wire up these strips we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables. You'll want
one of each, one wire is for ground the other is for signal. For the power wire, you will also
probably want a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our wall adapters to power it.
