LED RGB Strip - Addressable, 5m (APA102)

The Sparkfun LED RGB Strip is a 5-meter-long, addressable, 5V RGB LED strip that comes equipped with 300 APA102Cs. These LEDs are akin to WS2812s but with a few unique features. APA102Cs can be controlled using a standard SPI interface and boast an extremely high PWM frequency. This product allows access to each APA102 LED, enabling you to modify the strip length as per your need. You can control each LED RGB individually, allowing for the creation of unique lighting effects.

Consider using this LED strip for creating cool lighting effects in your car. Or perhaps, you could use it for under-cabinet lighting in your kitchen. The possibilities are endless with the individual control you have over each LED RGB. The high PWM frequency of the APA102Cs also ensures smooth color transitions and flicker-free performance.

Note: The Sparkfun LED RGB Strip is delivered in 5m segments on a reel. They are preterminated with a 4 pin JST-SM connector that has a 2.54mm pin spacing, as shown in the pictures.
