{"title":"Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - Black 30 LED [BLACK] 1 meter","handle":"adafruit-neopixel-digital-rgb-led-strip-black-30-led-black-1-meter","url":"/products/adafruit-neopixel-digital-rgb-led-strip-black-30-led-black-1-meter","description":"A versatile NeoPixel strip with 30 individually addressable RGB LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB. Each pixel offers full 24-bit colour control with only a single data pin required. The lower pixel density makes this strip ideal for longer runs where tight spacing isn't needed.\n\nThe strip is 12.5 mm wide (10 mm without casing) and comes with weatherproof sheathing. Cut lines are spaced every 3.4 cm (one LED each), making it easy to create custom lengths.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n30 RGB LEDs per Metre – Great balance of density and affordability for general-purpose lighting\n\nIndividually Addressable – Set each LED's colour independently with 8-bit PWM per channel (24-bit colour)\n\nSingle-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required; built-in PWM controller in each LED maintains colour without continuous data\n\nBlack Flex PCB – Blends into dark enclosures and provides high contrast when LEDs are off\n\nWeatherproof Sheathing – Included protective casing (removable if not needed)\n\nChainable – Connect multiple strips together for longer runs\n\nCuttable – Cut every 3.4 cm (1 LED) with wire cutters; solder to 0.1\" copper pads\n\n\nPower Requirements\n\n\nVoltage – 5V DC (do not exceed 6V or the strip will be damaged)\n\nMax Current – ~2A at full white (9.5W per metre)\n\nTypical Current – Colourful patterns typically draw 1/3 to 1/2 of maximum\n\nRecommended Supplies – 5V 2A supply for 1 metre, 5V 10A supply for up to 10 metres\n\n\n\nWarning: You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips. Do not exceed 6V or you risk destroying the entire strip.\n\n\nCompatibility Notes\n\nWorks with Arduino (8 MHz+), Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other fast microcontrollers\nRequires precise 100 ns timing — not compatible with interpreted platforms (Basic Stamp, NETduino) or processors slower than 8 MHz\nEach LED requires 3 bytes of RAM — 30 LEDs per metre uses only 90 bytes, making long runs feasible on Arduino Uno\nFor processors without strict timing capability, consider DotStar LED strips which use SPI-based control\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nAccent and ambient lighting for desks, shelves, and furniture\nLong LED runs on a budget\nWearable electronics and cosplay\nArchitectural and signage lighting\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip – 30 LED/m, 1 metre, black PCB\n\n\nResources\n\n\nNeoPixel Uberguide – Comprehensive wiring, coding, and power guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":6424,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1460-2552","price":32.92,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
