An ultra-high-density NeoPixel strip packed with 144 individually addressable RGB LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB with black mask. Each pixel offers full 24-bit colour control, and only a single data pin is needed to drive the entire strip.

The strip comes in a 1-metre length with weatherproof sheathing (removable if not needed) and JST SM connectors on each end for easy chaining. The extra-heavy flex PCB provides durability for demanding installations.

Key Features

• 144 RGB LEDs per Metre – Maximum pixel density for seamless colour blending and smooth animations
• Individually Addressable – Set each LED's colour independently with 8-bit PWM per channel (24-bit colour)
• Single-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required; built-in PWM controller in each LED maintains colour without continuous data
• Black PCB + Black Mask – Blends into dark enclosures and provides high contrast when LEDs are off
• Weatherproof Sheathing – Included silicone sleeve for weather resistance (removable with scissors)
• Chainable – JST SM connectors on each end for extending or shortening
• Cuttable – Cut between any two LEDs with wire cutters; solder to 0.1" copper pads

Power Requirements

• Voltage – 5V DC (do not exceed 6V or the strip will be damaged)
• Max Current – ~7A at full white (35W per metre)
• Typical Current – Colourful patterns typically draw 1/3 to 1/2 of maximum

Compatibility Notes

• Works with Arduino (8 MHz+), Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other fast microcontrollers
• Requires precise 100 ns timing — not compatible with interpreted platforms (Basic Stamp, NETduino) or processors slower than 8 MHz
• Each LED requires 3 bytes of RAM — budget approximately 432 bytes for the full metre (Arduino Uno has ~1,500 bytes free after libraries)
• For processors without strict timing capability, consider DotStar LED strips which use SPI-based control

Ideal For

• High-density light bars and ambient lighting
• LED art installations and props
• Cosplay and wearable projects
• Architectural accent lighting
