Analog RGBW LED Strip - RGB plus Cool White - 60 LED/m [~6000K]

An analog LED strip featuring both RGB and cool white (~6000K) LEDs at 60 LEDs per metre on a weatherproof white flexi PCB. Control the entire strip at once using any microcontroller and four transistors (one per channel) — no addressable LED library needed, just PWM for colour mixing.

Power the strip with 9–12V DC and ground the R, G, B, and W pins through NPN transistors or N-channel MOSFETs to activate each colour channel. The weatherproof silicone coating makes it suitable for indoor use and light outdoor use. Cut lines every 5cm (3 LEDs) let you trim to the exact length you need.
