An analog LED strip combines RGB and Warm White LEDs for vibrant, customizable lighting. Control the entire strip using any microcontroller and three transistors, with 60 LEDs per meter for dynamic color effects.
Power requires a 9-12VDC supply, grounding R/G/B/W pins to activate colors. Use any NPN or N-channel MOSFET, particularly for larger strips, and PWM inputs to blend hues. This version features 60 LED-per-meter RGB plus Warm White, and a weatherproof white flexi PCB for durable use.
Perfect for decorating bikes, art projects, or unique fashion. For stable installations, a reliable 12V supply is essential, while an 8xAA battery holder is recommended for portable setups. Although weatherproof, long-term submersion or direct sunlight exposure isn't advised. Indoor or light outdoor use is suitable.
Easily cut with wire cutters at 5cm intervals, revealing 0.1" copper pads for soldering. Each 3 LED group draws up to ~80mA, maxing at 1.6A per meter. Sold by the meter, inventory ranges from cut pieces to full 4-meter reels.
A comprehensive tutorial with diagrams, schematics, and code is available to optimize usage with your RGBW LED strip. Simply add a transistor for the White channel.
