Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip - Black 144 LED/m - 0.5 Meter

Revolutionize your lighting projects with DotStar LED strips, a superior upgrade over NeoPixels. Thanks to a generic 2-wire SPI, DotStars enable rapid data transfer without timing hassles, ensuring fluid performance at any processor speed.

Experience smoother, flicker-free animations with a high 20 KHz PWM rate, perfect for Persistence-of-Vision displays. Each 5050-sized LED offers precise 24-bit color control, effortlessly handling red, green, and blue PWM modulation on its own.

Precision-engineered with flexible PCB material and a weatherproof sheathing, these strips are customizable; cut or extend with ease using 0.1" copper pads. Available in 30, 60, or 144 LEDs per meter, within white or black flex PCB variants, they meet diverse project needs.

Equipped with a 4-pin JST SM connector at each end, the half-meter strip supports seamless serial connections. Note, strips are supplied individually, not as continuous lengths. To power, add a compatible 5V DC adapter; avoid exceeding 6V to prevent damage.

Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and numerous other microcontrollers, DotStar LED strips inspire creativity and innovation in any modern lighting application.
