NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - White PCB 60 LED/m

PRODUCT ID: 2842

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 60 LED/mRGBW strip with a clear casing and White flex PCB!We also have RGBW

NeoPixel strips of30 LED/m and 144 LED/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!

NeoPixelsare 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontrollerinside 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) anda 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.

These strips aresold by the meter ! If you buy 4meters at a time, you'll get full reels with two

connectors. If you buy less than 4m, you'll get a single strip, but it will be a cut piece from a reel

which may or may not have a connector on it.

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.
