Experience vibrant lighting with Smart RGB+White NeoPixels, featuring four LEDs per pixel for stunning effects. Each strip sports 30 LEDs per meter, offering individual LED control for tailored illumination.
The dual-section NeoPixels balance RGB and a luminous white LED, resembling an unlit egg yolk. Once illuminated, expect intense brightness, controlled through 8-bit PWM per channel for 32-bit color precision.
The NeoPixels utilize an 800 KHz protocol, requiring accurate timing. Their PWM rate of ~400 Hz sometimes makes movement visible, unlike DotStars’ smoother 20 KHz. Nevertheless, NeoPixels are versatile with a 5050-size LED carrying an integrated microcontroller.
Installation is flexible; cut lines every 1.7 cm, adaptable shift-registers for resizing, and lightweight, pliable PCBs with weatherproof casing. Use a 5V power supply, avoiding voltages over 6V to prevent damage. Our NeoPixel library, supporting RGBW, ensures seamless operation, but verify compatibility with alternative libraries.
Purchase by the meter or as a complete reel for larger projects, using independent JST SM connectors and 2.1mm DC jacks for secure connections. Explore the NeoPixel Uberguide for comprehensive tutorials, wiring schematics, and example code compatible with a variety of platforms including Arduino and Flora.
