NEW PRODUCTS – Extremely Versatile 5V LED Strips – 320 LEDs per meter – Pink + Pure White
Extremely Versatile 5V Pink LED Strip – 320 LEDs per meter – 1 meter
Right here at Adafruit, we love discovering new and unique glowing issues. Like moths to the flame, we had been intrigued by these ‘chip on board’ ultra-flexible white LED Strips with a whopping 320 SMT LEDs per meter, soldered side-by-side and subtle with a skinny silicone epoxy! They look so much like neon or incandescent tubing or possibly very nice EL wire, however with out the necessity for costly transformers, glass tubing, or inert gasses. The strip itself is just 5mm vast, the casing is 8mm vast however could be eliminated.
Not like addressable neopixel-dot strips, these lights have a steady gentle supply, and in contrast to our ‘Neon’ tubing, they’re a lot thinner and extra versatile (however don’t have a chunky subtle look) The trade-off for having a skinny silicone cowl and non-diffused tubing casing is that shut up you’ll be able to see the little sizzling spots between LEDs.
The silicone casing makes for a robust, sturdy, weather-proof casing. They’re not assured for dunking underwater or long-term out of doors publicity, however they’re sturdy sufficient for out of doors tasks like costumes, bike lighting, or competition decorations. Plus, with the adhesive backing, you’ll be able to stick it the place you please.
You’ll get a 1-meter-long strip with two wires: black and crimson. Present 3V at 200mA (brilliant) to 5V at 1.2A (very brilliant!), and the strip begins to glow.
This strip is powered from 5V, we even have one that’s powered from 12V
Word these should not ‘NeoPixel’ LED strips; you can not flip particular person LEDs on or off. This information on analog RGB LED strip management will present you the way it works – you’ll need a microcontroller with a PWM output and N-MOSFETs or a ULN2803 to regulate the facility to your entire LED ingredient.
