Adafruit DotStar LED Strip - Addressable Warm White - 60 LED/m

DotStar LED strips offer a significant performance boost over traditional NeoPixel strips, using a 2-wire SPI system for faster data transfer without strict timing constraints. They achieve higher PWM refresh rates, ideal for Persistence-of-Vision (POV) projects and reducing flickering at low brightness.

These LED strips support 24-bit high-frequency PWM control, providing brilliant, consistent warm white lighting. The integrated phosphor diffuses the light, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating the inconsistencies seen with RGB mixing.

The flexible PCB allows easy customization. Cut the strip at designated points or connect multiple strips without hassle. A weatherproof sheath protects the strip, making it durable for various applications.

Hardware SPI support, although not required, simplifies use with microcontrollers and microprocessors like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. With a data rate up to 32MHz, controlling these strips is seamless across devices.

Sold by the meter with a 4-meter reel option, each strip includes a 4-pin JST SM connector. Ensure a reliable power supply, like a 5V/4A or 5V/10A adapter, to match your setup. Additional JST SM plug and receptacle cables enhance connection flexibility.
