A beginner-friendly NeoPixel strip with colour-coded alligator clips — no soldering or breadboard required. Simply clip onto your microcontroller and start glowing. The strip has 30 individually addressable RGB LEDs on a 1-metre black flex PCB with weatherproof sheathing.

Uses SK6812 LEDs that work at 3–5V logic and power, with no inline resistor needed. Perfect for use with Circuit Playground, micro:bit, or any microcontroller where you want a quick, solder-free connection.

Key Features

• Alligator Clip Connection – Three 100 mm colour-coded clips (red = power, white = signal, black = ground) for instant hookup
• 30 RGB LEDs – Individually addressable with 24-bit colour on a 1-metre strip
• 3–5V Compatible – SK6812 LEDs work at 3V logic and power, no inline resistor needed
• Black Flex PCB – Blends into dark surfaces with high contrast when off
• Weatherproof Sheathing – Protective casing included
• Cuttable – Shorten the strip by cutting with wire cutters
• Single-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required

Power Requirements

• Voltage – 3–5V DC (do not exceed 6V)
• Max Current – ~1A at full white (4.8W for the full metre)
• Typical Current – Colourful patterns draw well under 1/3 of maximum
• Can often be powered directly from your microcontroller board for short strips

Ideal For

• Circuit Playground and micro:bit projects
• Classroom and educational activities (no soldering needed)
• Quick prototyping and maker projects
• Costumes and wearables
