This RGBW NeoPixel strip, encased in neon-like silicone tubing, merges the benefits of addressable NeoPixels with ruggedized LED neon for an impressive, high-density, programmable light solution. Offering a sleek diffused appearance akin to neon, it eliminates the need for expensive components like transformers and glass tubing.
Flexible and sturdy, its diffuser is a solid piece of translucent silicone rubber that withstands elements, although long-term outdoor exposure is not advised. It features 144 LEDs per meter, powered by 5V, making it ideal for outdoor projects like cosplay, bike lighting, or festival decorations. Note that it's cuttable, but not rejoinable, allowing customization of length to suit your project.
Each 1-meter strip includes two JST SM 2-pin connectors and power wires. Operate it with standard NeoPixel (WS281x) data for a vibrant light display, ensuring the ground pin is shared between the power supply and the microcontroller. The strip needs to be set to RGBW mode for optimal performance, utilizing the additional 3000K white LED element. Comprehensive setup guides and ready-to-use example code for Arduino, CircuitPython, and Raspberry Pi are available to support your projects.
