Add tiny dots of colour to costumes, props, wearables and embedded builds without the stiffness of a normal flexible PCB strip. This NeoPixel strand uses solid plated wire that holds its shape, making it easier to sew over, cast into a structure, or work into soft materials.
The strand is made from soft plastic wires with a coated NeoPixel every 100mm / 4 inches, for a total of 150 LEDs. The PVC-coated wires and epoxy-covered LED dots are suitable for temporary outdoor use, but they are not intended to be washed or dunked underwater.
Connectors are pre-attached, and the strand can also be carefully soldered to via the solid wires. The wire closest to the green dot is ground, the opposite wire is power, and the centre line is data in; the point on the green dot indicates data direction. The strand can be cut with wire cutters or connected to other strands, provided your 5V supply can handle the current required.
An Adafruit tutorial is available covering NeoPixel wiring, power usage calculations and example code. Use a 5V DC power supply only; higher than 6V can destroy the entire strip.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
