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.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- 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 is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
