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.
- 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.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
