Adafruit NeoPixel LED Side Light Strip - Black 90 LED

A mid-density side-emitting NeoPixel strip with 90 individually addressable RGB LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB. Unlike standard NeoPixel strips that emit light upward, these side-light LEDs emit at 90 degrees — perfect for accent lighting along thin edges, curves, and corners.

The skinny form factor allows these strips to run along edges and curve around shapes where traditional top-emitting strips won't fit. Also available at 60 LED/m and 120 LED/m densities.

Key Features

• 90 Side-Emitting LEDs per Metre – Mid-density option balancing smooth illumination and power draw
