Roll out the black light! The Adafruit NeoPixel UV LED Strip packs 32 individually addressable ultraviolet LEDs per metre onto a flexible white PCB with a weatherproof sheathing. Each LED package contains three UV diodes controlled via the standard NeoPixel (WS2812) protocol — just set all three channels to the same value to control brightness.
Each order is a single 1-metre strip. Cut lines every 3 cm (1 LED) let you trim to any length with wire cutters. For a higher-density option, see the 60 LED/m UV strip.
Key Features
- 32 UV LEDs per Metre – Individually addressable ultraviolet NeoPixels on a flexible white PCB
- Weatherproof Sheathing – Silicone sleeve for splash resistance and protection
- Standard NeoPixel Protocol – Compatible with any WS2812 driver (Adafruit NeoPixel library, FastLED, etc.)
- Cuttable – Cut lines every 3 cm (1 LED) for custom lengths
- JST SM Connectors – 2-pin JST SM connector on each end for easy wiring
- 5 mm × 5 mm Packages – Three UV diodes per package, controlled via R, G, and B channels
How to Control
The R, G, and B channels each drive one of the three UV diodes inside each package. For uniform UV output, set all three channels to the same value — from (0, 0, 0) (off) to (255, 255, 255) (full brightness).
Power Requirements
- Supply voltage: 5 V DC (do not exceed 6 V or the entire strip may be destroyed)
- A 5V 2A supply can drive 1+ metres depending on brightness
Wiring
- Strips come with 2-pin JST SM connectors on each end
- For additional connections, pick up JST SM plug and receptacle cables
- Can also solder directly to the 0.1″ copper pads at cut points
Ideal For
- Black light and UV effects
- Fluorescent material illumination
- Halloween and party decorations
- Art installations and stage lighting
- UV-curing applications

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- 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 (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
