Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - White PCB 30 LED/m

Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - White PCB 30 LED/m

We have ✅ 5 available of the AF-2832 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 38 units available with a short lead time.

Express post delivery (2-5 business days)

An RGBW NeoPixel strip with 30 individually addressable LEDs per metre on a flexible white 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 with a black PCB or at 144 LED/m density.

The dedicated white LED with yellow phosphor produces clean, bright white light without colour mixing artifacts. The white PCB and 30 LED/m density make this ideal for longer runs in light-coloured installations.

Key Features

  • 30 RGBW LEDs per Metre – Dedicated white element for true white output alongside full RGB colour
  • 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
  • White Flex PCB – Blends into light-coloured surfaces and enclosures
  • Weatherproof Sheathing – White protective casing included (removable)
  • Chainable & Cuttable – Cut every 3.4 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 longer runs
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) — 30 LEDs uses only 120 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
  • Longer LED runs requiring both colour and white output
  • Under-cabinet and shelf lighting in light-coloured settings
  • Architectural and ambient lighting

Package Contents

  • 1× NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip – 30 LED/m, white PCB
Note: These strips come from 5-metre reels. If you order less than 5 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.
