The Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip (144 LED/m, white flex PCB) delivers superior performance over traditional NeoPixels with its 2-wire SPI interface. Push data at up to 32 MHz clock speed with no critical timing requirements, making it compatible with virtually any microcontroller or microprocessor.

Each 5050-sized RGB LED contains an embedded driver chip that handles 24-bit colour output and 20 KHz PWM — ideal for persistence-of-vision (POV) projects and smooth, flicker-free colour blending even at low brightness levels. This is a full 1-metre length of the ultra-dense 144 LED/m strip on white flex PCB.

Key Features

  • SPI Interface – 2-wire (clock + data) protocol works with any processor speed; no timing-critical code required
  • 24-Bit Colour – 8 bits per channel (red, green, blue) for over 16 million colours
  • 20 KHz PWM – 50× faster than NeoPixel's 400 Hz for flicker-free operation and smooth POV effects
  • Up to 32 MHz Data Rate – Hardware SPI supported but not required
  • Ultra-Dense 144 LED/m – Seamless light output with no visible gaps between LEDs
  • Weatherproof Sheathing – Flexible PCB with protective coating
  • Cuttable – Cut lines every 1 LED, solder to 0.1" copper pads
  • 4-Pin JST SM Connectors – Included on each end

Also Available

Ideal For

  • Persistence-of-vision (POV) displays and wearables
  • High-density light bars and edge-lit signage
  • LED art and cosplay projects
  • Projects requiring fast data rates with any microcontroller

Package Contents

  • 1× DotStar LED strip – 144 LED/m, 1 metre, white flex PCB, with JST SM connectors
Note: Sold as individual 1-metre strips. Ordering multiples will deliver separate 1-metre strips, not a continuous length.
Warning: You must use a 5V DC power supply. Do not exceed 6V or you may permanently damage the entire strip.
