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

DotStar LED strips provide a significant boost to your lighting projects with fast data delivery and vibrant color precision. Leveraging a generic 2-wire SPI interface, they surpass NeoPixel's 800 KHz protocol, offering flicker-free illumination even at lower brightness.

Equipped with 5050-sized LEDs featuring embedded microcontrollers, these strips support 24-bit color precision for rich, seamless animations. Unlike NeoPixels, DotStars require two pins (clock and data), allowing compatibility with diverse microcontrollers and processors such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Experience vivid, smooth colors courtesy of the impressive 20 KHz PWM rate. Whether stationary or in motion, the high refresh rate ensures no pixelation and brilliantly blended hues. The 144 LED-per-meter strip on flexible PCB material is ideal for dynamic installations.

Cut and customize your strip easily, using every LED as a building block for expansive projects. Thanks to the weatherproof sheathing, DotStar strips endure various environments. For optimal operation, remember to power with a 5V DC power supply, ensuring longevity and performance.
