Adafruit Mini Skinny NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 1m

So thin. So mini. So teeeeeeny-tiny. Experience the 'skinny' version of our classic NeoPixel strips! Featuring a narrow design, these NeoPixel strips boast 30 digitally-addressable pixel Mini LEDs per meter and are incredibly affordable with a mere width of 7.5 mm, or just 5 mm if you remove the strip from its casing.

This variant comes with a white flex PCB, identical in function to the black 30 LED/meter strip but showcasing a different color mask. Each LED consumes about 9.5 Watts max per meter when in full white mode, requiring efficient power management. A robust power supply, such as our 5V 2A or 10A model, ensures optimal performance.

Uniquely, the controller chip is integrated within each LED, allowing for a single input and output pin design that demands microcontrollers with precise 100nS timing. Compatible with Arduino Uno/Mega at 8MHz and 16MHz, and adaptable for Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black with effort, these strips aren't suitable for slower or interpreted processors. Alternatives like our DotStar strip are recommended for such devices.

Crafted from flexible PCB material and protected by a weatherproof coating, these strips are customizable with cut lines every 1.27"/32.5mm. Easily solder connections to the 0.1" copper pads to achieve the desired length. Strips are sold per meter, with 5 meter reels featuring a 2 or 3-pin JST SM connector on each end.

Capable of individually controlling the color of each LED's red, green, and blue component with 8-bit PWM precision, this strip supports dynamic and vibrant designs. The built-in PWM allows for continuous light display after initial setup.
