This 50cm programmable RGB LED strip uses SK6812 (5050) COB LEDs to produce bright, uniform, full-colour light with no visible hotspots. With 166 individually addressable LEDs packed into just half a metre, it delivers smooth colour blending and high-density illumination.

The strip runs on 5V DC with single-wire control and supports cascade connections, making it easy to chain multiple strips together. It is fully compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers for custom lighting effects. The flexible design with adhesive backing lets you mount it almost anywhere, including tight corners.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DC
DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
RGB
Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
