Smart RGB+White LEDs, known as NeoPixels, feature four integrated LEDs—red, green, blue, and white—for stunning lighting effects. This 30 LED/m RGBW strip comes in a white casing with a white PCB, with options for 60 LED/m and 144 LED/m strips available.
NeoPixel LEDs are 'split', featuring RGB components you know, alongside a yellow-phosphor white LED. When activated, they shine with exceptional brightness and color controlled using 8-bit PWM per channel, allowing for 32-bit color depth per pixel.
These LEDs utilize an 800 KHz protocol, requiring precise timing. The built-in PWM enables color setting persistence, and users can cut or extend the strip as needed, utilizing flexible and weatherproof PCB material. The strips are easily modified with every LED positioned 1.7 cm apart, and copper pads enable straightforward soldering.
For powering, 5V DC is essential. Options include a 5V/2A power supply for a meter or 5V/10A for up to four meters. A NeoPixel library with RGBW support is necessary; our Adafruit NeoPixel library fits the bill. NeoPixels are sold by meter, with discounts available for bulk purchases.
