A NeoPixel RGB LED flex strip encased in translucent silicone tubing that diffuses the light for a smooth, neon-like glow. The strip contains 60 LEDs in groups of 3 per pixel, giving you 20 individually addressable pixels across 1 metre. Powered by 9–12 V DC and controlled with standard WS281x NeoPixel data.
The solid silicone tubing is flexible, durable, and weather-resistant — suitable for cosplay, bike lighting, festival decorations, and other projects that need to handle some outdoor exposure. One end is sealed; the other has a JST SM 3-pin input connector.
Key Features
- Neon-Like Diffusion – Silicone tubing creates a smooth, even glow
- 20 Addressable Pixels – 60 LEDs in groups of 3, controlled as 20 NeoPixel pixels
- WS281x Compatible – Works with any NeoPixel library (Arduino, CircuitPython, Raspberry Pi)
- Flexible & Durable – Silicone casing is weather-resistant and can be cut with wire cutters
- JST SM 3-Pin Connector – Power, data, and ground on a standard connector
Specifications
- Length – 1 metre
- LED Count – 60 (20 addressable pixels × 3 LEDs each)
- Input Voltage – 9–12 V DC (12 V ideal)
- Data Protocol – WS281x (NeoPixel)
- Connector – JST SM 3-pin (input end), sealed (other end)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- CircuitPython
- A beginner-friendly version of Python designed to run directly on microcontroller boards. If a product supports CircuitPython, you can often program it by copying code files onto the board rather than setting up a more complex toolchain.
- 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.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
