Adafruit RGB LED weatherproof flexi-strip 30 LED/m - 3m

These LED strips offer a vibrant and customizable lighting solution with 30 RGB LEDs per meter, controllable via any microcontroller and three transistors. With a 9-12VDC power supply, you can easily ground the R/G/B pins to illuminate individual colors.

Utilize an NPN or N-channel MOSFET for large strips and employ PWM inputs to achieve intricate color-mixing. For stable power, a reliable 12V supply is recommended for fixed setups, while an 8xAA battery holder is ideal for mobility.

Designed with a durable weatherproof casing and a white background, these strips adhere easily to smooth surfaces thanks to the 3M adhesive backing. They are perfect for adding a pop of color to bikes, art projects, costumes, or fashion.

Note that while rugged, these strips are not intended for long-term submersion in water or prolonged UV exposure and are best used indoors or for light outdoor applications. Avoid pools, lakes, or aquariums.

The strips are versatile and customizable—cut every 10cm for precision fitting and solder to 0.1" copper pads for easy modifications. Available in 5-meter reels and sold by the meter, these strips adapt to various project needs. A comprehensive tutorial with diagrams and code provides further guidance.
