Adafruit DotStar LED Strip - Addressable Warm White - 30 LED/m

DotStar LED strips introduce a new era of LED lighting technology, surpassing the limitations of NeoPixel strips with their advanced design. Utilizing the speedy 2-wire SPI protocol, these strips allow for rapid data transmission and eliminate timing constraints.

The enhanced PWM refresh rates support Persistence-of-Vision effects while minimizing flickering, particularly at low brightness levels. This translates into smoother, flicker-free visuals, perfect for intricate light displays.

Featuring 30 LEDs per meter on flexible white PCB, each DotStar strip is weatherproof and easily customizable. Cutting and soldering are straightforward with copper pads at regular intervals, facilitating bespoke lighting arrangements of varied lengths.

The warm white LEDs emit a consistent, bright light, thanks to their phosphor diffusion technique. Unlike RGB lighting, these LEDs deliver a genuine warm white that enhances any environment, without the typical color-mixing challenges.

Compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and microprocessors like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone, DotStar strips are versatile and convenient. They are designed for seamless integration into various projects, supported by accessible libraries and a wealth of tutorial resources.

For optimal operation, ensure a 5V DC power supply is used. Available in 5-meter reels with 4-pin JST SM connectors, the strips can be purchased by the meter and easily extended or shortened for diverse applications.
