Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - Black 60 LED [BLACK] 4 meters
A mid-density NeoPixel strip with 60 individually addressable RGB LEDs per metre on a flexible black PCB, supplied as a full 4-metre reel (240 LEDs total) with JST SM connectors on each end. Each pixel offers full 24-bit colour control with only a single data pin required. Also available in 1-metre, 2-metre, and 3-metre lengths.
The strip is 12.5 mm wide (10 mm without casing) and comes with weatherproof sheathing. Cut lines are spaced every 1.7 cm (one LED each) for precise custom lengths.
Key Features
- 60 RGB LEDs per Metre – Double the density of 30 LED/m strips for smoother colour transitions
- Full 4-Metre Reel – 240 LEDs total with JST SM connectors on both ends
- 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 Flex PCB – Blends into dark enclosures and provides high contrast when LEDs are off
- Weatherproof Sheathing – Included protective casing (removable if not needed)
- Chainable & Cuttable – Connect strips together or cut every 1.7 cm with wire cutters
Power Requirements
- Voltage – 5V DC (do not exceed 6V or the strip will be damaged)
- Max Current – ~14A at full white (72W for 4 metres)
- Typical Current – Colourful patterns typically draw 1/3 to 1/2 of maximum
- Recommended Supply – A 5V 10A power supply is recommended; inject power at multiple points along the strip
Warning: You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips. Do not exceed 6V or you risk destroying the entire strip. For 4-metre runs, inject power at both ends (and ideally the middle) to avoid voltage drop.
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 — 240 LEDs uses 720 bytes, within Arduino Uno limits (~1,500 bytes free) but consider an Arduino Mega for larger projects
- For processors without strict timing capability, consider DotStar LED strips which use SPI-based control
Ideal For
- Room-scale accent and ambient lighting
- LED art installations and props
- Stage and event lighting
- Architectural and signage projects
Package Contents
- 1× NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip – 60 LED/m, 4 metres (full reel), black PCB
