The Adafruit High Density NeoPixel UV LED Strip packs 60 ultraviolet 5050-sized LEDs per metre onto a flexible PCB with weatherproof sheathing. Each LED contains three individual UV diodes controlled as a single NeoPixel, giving you addressable UV lighting that's compatible with any NeoPixel or WS2812 driver library (including FastLED).
The strip can be cut every 2 cm (1 LED per segment) using standard wire cutters, with 0.1" copper pads for soldering connections. Each end has a 2-pin JST SM connector for easy wiring. Set all three R, G, B channels to the same value (0–255) to control UV brightness.

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.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
