Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip - White 30 LED - Per Meter [WHITE]

The Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip (30 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 1 metre of the 30 LED/m density on white flex PCB, sold from 5-metre reels.

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
• Weatherproof Sheathing – Flexible PCB with protective coating
• Cuttable – Cut lines every 3.4 cm (1 LED), solder to 0.1" copper pads
• Chainable – Connect strips together for longer runs
• 4-Pin JST SM Connectors – Included on each end of full reels
