A flexible, neon-like RGBW LED strip encased in translucent silicone rubber for a smooth, diffused glow. This 1-metre strip produces a neon-style effect without the need for glass tubing or high-voltage transformers — just connect 9–12V DC and it lights up beautifully.
The strip features four colour channels — Red, Green, Blue, and Cool White (5500K) — that you can mix to create any colour. The silicone casing is flexible, durable, and weather-resistant, making it suitable for costumes, bike lighting, festival decorations, and outdoor projects.

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.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
