Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - Black PCB 60 LED/m

Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - Black PCB 60 LED/m

50 units available with a short lead time.

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

A mid-density RGBW NeoPixel strip with 60 individually addressable LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB. Each pixel contains four LED elements — red, green, blue, and a dedicated white — providing 32-bit colour control and superior white output compared to RGB-only strips. Also available at 30 LED/m and 144 LED/m densities.

The dedicated white LED with yellow phosphor produces clean, bright white light without colour mixing artifacts. The 60 LED/m density offers a great balance between smooth lighting and manageable power draw.

Key Features

  • 60 RGBW LEDs per Metre – Dedicated white element for true white output with double the density of 30 LED/m strips
  • 32-Bit Colour – 8-bit PWM per channel across 4 channels (R, G, B, W) for over 4 billion colour combinations
  • Individually Addressable – Control each LED independently with single-pin data
  • Black Flex PCB – Blends into dark enclosures with high contrast when off
  • Weatherproof Sheathing – Clear protective casing included (removable)
  • Chainable & Cuttable – Cut every 1.7 cm with wire cutters; solder to 0.1" copper pads
  • 5050-Sized LEDs – Integrated microcontroller inside each LED package

Power Requirements

  • Voltage – 5V DC (do not exceed 6V or the strip will be damaged)
  • Recommended Supplies – 5V 2A supply for 1 metre; 5V 10A supply for up to 4 metres
Warning: You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips. Do not exceed 6V or you risk destroying the entire strip.

Compatibility Notes

  • Works with Arduino (8 MHz+), Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other fast microcontrollers
  • Uses 800 KHz protocol with ~400 Hz PWM refresh rate
  • Each LED requires 4 bytes of RAM (vs 3 for RGB) — 60 LEDs uses 240 bytes per metre
  • Requires an RGBW-compatible NeoPixel library — using a standard RGB library will produce incorrect results. The Adafruit NeoPixel library supports RGBW mode
  • The blue LED element is adjacent to the white phosphor, so blue light may have slight white bleed

Ideal For

  • High-quality white lighting combined with full colour effects
  • Architectural and ambient lighting where true white matters
  • Under-cabinet and shelf lighting
  • Film and photography lighting

Package Contents

  • 1× NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip – 60 LED/m, black PCB
Note: These strips come from 4-metre reels. If you order less than 4 metres, you will receive a cut piece which may or may not include a JST SM connector. If the piece comes from the end of the reel, the connector may be on the output end.
