The result is an incredibly bright, consistent white light — far superior to mixing RGB to approximate white.\n\nControlled via a 2-wire SPI interface at up to 32 MHz, each LED features 24-bit PWM brightness control at 20 KHz for smooth, flicker-free dimming. No timing-critical code is required, making these strips compatible with any microcontroller or microprocessor. This is a full 1-metre length of the ultra-dense 144 LED/m strip on white flex PCB.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nCool White ~6000K – Dedicated white phosphor LEDs for true, consistent white light\n\nSPI Interface – 2-wire (clock + data) protocol works with any processor speed\n\n24-Bit Brightness Control – High-frequency 20 KHz PWM for smooth, flicker-free dimming\n\nUp to 32 MHz Data Rate – Hardware SPI supported but not required\n\nUltra-Dense 144 LED/m – Seamless light output with no visible gaps\n\nWeatherproof Sheathing – Flexible PCB with protective coating\n\nCuttable – Cut lines every 1 LED, solder to 0.1\" copper pads\n\n4-Pin JST SM Connectors – Included on each end\n\n\nAlso Available\n\nDotStar Cool White 60 LED/m (~6000K)\nDotStar Cool White 30 LED/m (~6000K)\nDotStar Warm White 144 LED/m (~3000K)\nDotStar Warm White 60 LED/m (~3000K)\nDotStar Warm White 30 LED/m (~3000K)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nUnder-cabinet and task lighting\nArchitectural and display illumination\nPhotography and video lighting rigs\nSmart home lighting with programmable dimming\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× DotStar Cool White LED strip – 144 LED/m, ~6000K, 1 metre, white flex PCB, with JST SM connectors\n\n\n\nNote: Sold as individual 1-metre strips. Ordering multiples will deliver separate 1-metre strips, not a continuous length.\n\n\n\nWarning: You must use a 5V DC power supply. Do not exceed 6V or you may permanently damage the entire strip.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9322,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2434","price":146.23,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":4,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
