Express post shipping available (product has a short lead time)

The Mini Skinny NeoPixel strip packs 144 individually addressable RGB LEDs into just one metre, with an ultra-narrow 7.5 mm wide flexible PCB. This is the white PCB version — identical specs to the black PCB variant, just with a different-coloured flex strip for a brighter, more visible look.

Each LED is controlled by a built-in WS2812B driver, giving you full 24-bit colour (8-bit per channel) on every pixel. Only a single data pin is needed, and once you set your colours, the strip continues to drive the LEDs without further commands. Cut every 7 mm (1 LED) and solder to 0.1" pads to customise the length.

Key Features

  • 144 LEDs per Metre – High-density addressable RGB pixels for smooth, continuous lighting effects
  • Ultra-Narrow – Only 7.5 mm wide (without casing) for tight-space installations
  • Single-Pin Control – One digital output drives the entire strip via the WS2812B protocol
  • 24-Bit Colour – 8-bit PWM per red, green, and blue channel on every LED
  • Chainable – Connect multiple strips end to end (watch your current budget)
  • Cuttable – Trim at any LED with cut lines every 7 mm
  • Weatherproof Sheathing – Flexible PCB comes with a protective silicone sleeve
  • JST SM Connectors – 2 or 3-pin connectors on each end with separated power/ground wires
Warning: These strips must be powered at 5 V DC. Do not exceed 6 V or the entire strip may be permanently damaged.

Power Requirements

  • Maximum draw – ~40 W per metre (8 A at 5 V) with all LEDs on full white
  • Typical draw – Less than one-third of maximum for colourful patterns
  • Recommended: 5 V 2 A supply for short sections, or 5 V 10 A supply for full-metre runs

Ideal For

  • Wearable electronics and cosplay costumes
  • High-density LED art and light installations
  • Ambilight-style TV backlighting
  • Compact lighting effects in tight spaces

Package Contents

  • 1× 1 m Mini Skinny NeoPixel Strip – 144 LED/m, white PCB (with weatherproof sheathing)
Note: Multiple-quantity orders ship as separate 1 m reels, not as a single continuous strip. Requires a microcontroller with precise timing (Arduino, Feather, Raspberry Pi). Not compatible with interpreted/virtual machine processors or boards slower than 8 MHz.
