NeoPixels are addressable LEDs. That means, there are 60 RGB LEDs per meter and

the strip is half a meter long so you get 30 individually-controlled RGB LEDs! You

can set the color of each LED's red, green and blue component with 8-bit PWM

precision (so 24-bit color per pixel). The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that

are chained up down the strip so you can shorten the strip if you like by cutting it.

Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each

LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip, and it will

continue to PWM all the LEDs for you

The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes in a weatherproof sheathing.

You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters. Of course, you can also

connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you

need! We have a 5V/2A supply that is able to drive this strip but chances are you

will power these short strips direct from your microcontroller board. You must use

a 3-5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you

can destroy the entire strip– yikes!

These LEDs use about 4.8 Watts max (~1 Amps @ 5V) per meter. The max rating is

assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful

design is less than 1/3 of the max current. A good power supply is key!

Our detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any

shape and size. Including ready-to-go library & example code for Arduino

compatibles. You can also use these strips with MakeCode or CircuitPython using

the NeoPixel software support.
