Adafruit Mini Skinny NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - 60 LED/m [BLACK]

The Mini Skinny NeoPixel strip features 60 individually addressable RGB LEDs per metre on an ultra-narrow 7.5 mm wide flexible PCB (5 mm without casing). This is the black PCB version — identical specs to the white PCB variant, just with a different-coloured flex strip for a more discreet 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 17 mm (1 LED) and solder to 0.1" pads to customise the length.

Key Features

• 60 LEDs per Metre – Addressable RGB pixels with 17 mm spacing between LEDs
• Ultra-Narrow – Only 7.5 mm wide (5 mm 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 17 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

Power Requirements

• Maximum draw – ~9.5 W per metre (2 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 one metre, or 5 V 10 A supply for longer runs

Ideal For

• Accent lighting and edge illumination
• Wearable electronics and cosplay costumes
• LED art installations with moderate pixel density
• Projects where the strip needs to blend into dark surfaces

Sold by the Metre

These strips come in 4 m reels. If you order 4 m, you'll receive a full reel with connectors on each end. Orders of less than 4 m will be a cut piece from a reel and may or may not include a connector.
