## Description

A versatile NeoPixel strip with 30 individually addressable RGB LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB, supplied in a 5-metre length (150 LEDs total). Each pixel offers full 24-bit colour control with only a single data pin required. Also available in 1-metre and 2-metre lengths. The 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. Key Features 30 RGB LEDs per Metre – Great balance of density and affordability for general-purpose lighting 5-Metre Length – 150 LEDs total, ideal for room-scale installations Individually Addressable – Set each LED's colour independently with 8-bit PWM per channel (24-bit colour) Single-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required; built-in PWM controller in each LED maintains colour without continuous data Black Flex PCB – Blends into dark enclosures and provides high contrast when LEDs are off Weatherproof Sheathing – Included protective casing (removable if not needed) Chainable & Cuttable – Connect strips together or cut every 3.4 cm with wire cutters Power Requirements Voltage – 5V DC (do not exceed 6V or the strip will be damaged) Max Current – ~10A at full white (47.5W for 5 metres) Typical Current – Colourful patterns typically draw 1/3 to 1/2 of maximum Recommended Supply – A 5V 10A power supply is recommended for the full 5-metre length Warning: You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips. Do not exceed 6V or you risk destroying the entire strip. For 5-metre runs, inject power at both ends to avoid voltage drop. Compatibility Notes Works with Arduino (8 MHz+), Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other fast microcontrollers Requires precise 100 ns timing — not compatible with interpreted platforms (Basic Stamp, NETduino) or processors slower than 8 MHz Each LED requires 3 bytes of RAM — 150 LEDs uses 450 bytes, feasible on Arduino Uno (~1,500 bytes free) For processors without strict timing capability, consider DotStar LED strips which use SPI-based control Ideal For Room-scale accent and ambient lighting Under-cabinet and furniture lighting Stage and event lighting Architectural and signage projects Package Contents 1× NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip – 30 LED/m, 5 metres, black PCB Resources NeoPixel Uberguide – Comprehensive wiring, coding, and power guide
