## Description

The Adafruit DotStar APA102 Cool White LED Strip (30 LED/m, ~6000K) uses the same integrated DotStar driver as the RGB strips but with dedicated cool white phosphor LEDs. The result is an incredibly bright, consistent white light — far superior to mixing RGB to approximate white. Controlled 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 the 30 LED/m density on white flex PCB, sold from 5-metre reels. Key Features Cool White ~6000K – Dedicated white phosphor LEDs for true, consistent white light SPI Interface – 2-wire (clock + data) protocol works with any processor speed 24-Bit Brightness Control – High-frequency 20 KHz PWM for smooth, flicker-free dimming Up to 32 MHz Data Rate – Hardware SPI supported but not required Weatherproof Sheathing – Flexible PCB with protective coating Cuttable – Cut lines every 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 Also Available DotStar Cool White 60 LED/m (~6000K) DotStar Cool White 144 LED/m (~6000K) DotStar Warm White 30 LED/m (~3000K) DotStar Warm White 60 LED/m (~3000K) DotStar Warm White 144 LED/m (~3000K) Ideal For Under-cabinet and task lighting Architectural and display illumination Photography and video lighting rigs Smart home lighting with programmable dimming Package Contents 1× DotStar Cool White LED strip – 30 LED/m, ~6000K, 1 metre, white flex PCB Note: Sold by the metre from 5-metre reels. Orders under 5 metres will be a cut piece which may or may not include a JST SM connector. Full 5-metre orders include connectors on both ends. Warning: You must use a 5V DC power supply. Do not exceed 6V or you may permanently damage the entire strip.
