The Adafruit Mini Skinny NeoPixel RGBW LED Strip in Cool White 6500K combines full RGB colour with a dedicated cool white LED element in each pixel. With 60 RGBW LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB, it delivers vibrant colours and a crisp daylight-white glow — perfect for task lighting and projects requiring bright, neutral illumination.
Each NeoPixel contains a split LED: one half is the standard RGB element, while the other half is a white LED with a 6500K cool white colour temperature. All four channels are independently controllable with 8-bit PWM precision, giving you 32-bit colour depth overall. The strip comes in a 1 m length with JST SM 3-pin connectors at both ends. Also available in a Warm White 3000K version.
Key Features
- 60 RGBW LEDs per Metre – Each pixel has RGB + dedicated 6500K cool white channel
- 32-Bit Colour – 8-bit PWM per channel across four channels (R, G, B, W)
- Single-Pin Control – Standard NeoPixel (WS281x) protocol on one data line
- Flexible Black PCB – With weatherproof sheathing and adhesive backing
- Cuttable – Cut line at the halfway point; solder to 0.1" copper pads
- Chainable – Connect multiple strips end to end (watch your current budget)
- JST SM Connectors – 3-pin connectors on each end for easy wiring
Ideal For
- Task lighting and workbench illumination
- Projects requiring both colourful effects and bright daylight-white output
- Under-cabinet and display case lighting
- Photography and video lighting accents

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Colour depth
- Colour depth describes how many different colours a display can show. A 65K-colour display can show about 65,000 colours, which is useful for icons, graphs, and simple full-colour interfaces but is less detailed than modern phone or computer screens.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- 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.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
