Fancy new side light LED strips offer a radiant alternative for those familiar with Adafruit LED strips, now providing dazzling light projecting at 90 degrees. They're incredibly slim, allowing easy navigation along edges, curves, and corners, making them ideal for accent, back, or edge lighting.
This version features 90 LEDs per meter, while options for 60 LED/m and 120 LED/m are available on a flexible black PCB. Designed with a durable weatherproof sheath, they can be effortlessly trimmed with wire cutters, featuring a cut line mid-strip. Simply solder to the 0.1" copper pads for a seamless setup.
Connector versatility includes 1-meter reels with a 2-pin JST SM connector on each end. For proper wiring, consider adding JST SM plug-and-receptacle cables for signals and a 2.1mm DC jack for power, ideal with a 5V wall adapter. A comprehensive tutorial covering wiring, power use calculations, and example code is available for guidance.
