You wanted \u003cstrong\u003etwice the LEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e? We got it (well, its 1.875 times as many but that's within a margin of error). You wanted \u003cstrong\u003ethinner strips\u003c\/strong\u003e? Now only 12.5 mm wide, 10 mm if you remove the strip from the casing. You wanted \u003cstrong\u003eless noticeable strip color\u003c\/strong\u003e - this strip has white-colored flex PCB, which will be less visible against white-painted walls. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is the strip with white flex PCB, its identical to the black 60 LED\/meter except it has a different color mask on the flex strip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll your dreams answered, yet there are a few things to watch for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst up, the higher density means much higher power usage over a certain distance - 18 Watts max (~3.5 Amps @ 5V) per meter instead of 9.6 Watts max (~2 Amps @ 5V). The max rating is assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful design is about 1\/3 to 1\/2 the max current. A good power supply such as our 5V 10A supply is key!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond, to get high density, the controller chip is inside the LED, which is kind of cool, but also means that the chip only uses a single pin for input and a single pin for output. The protocol used is very very timing-specific and can only be controlled by microcontrollers with highly repeatable 100nS timing precision. We have example code for using with the Arduino Uno\/Mega microcontroller at 8MHz and 16MHz, and with a little effort you can use with the Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone Black, but it will not work with the Basic Stamp, NETduino, any other interpreted\/virtual machine microprocessor or any processor slower than 8 MHz. For those processors, check our DotStar digital LED strip which has SPI-like input\/output and works easily with Pi, NETduino, and other processors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird, just because you have all those pixels doesn't mean you have the RAM for it - the entire strip must be buffered in memory, and we've found many Arduino UNO projects only have about 1500 bytes of RAM available after all the extras are included - enough for about 500 LED pixels. If you want to drive the entire strip and have some other libraries included, use a Mega.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese LED strips are even more fun and glowy. There are 60 RGB LEDs per meter, and you can control each LED individually! Yes, that's right, this is the digitally-addressable type of LED strip. 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 or lengthen the strip. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 0.65\"\/1.7cm (1 LED each). Solder to the 0.1\" copper pads and you're good to go. 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 should be able to drive 1 meter (depending on use) and a 5V\/10A supply that can drive up to 4 meters (depending on use) \u003cstrong\u003eYou must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese strips are\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003esold in 1m strips only\u003c\/strong\u003e! If you buy multiple units at a time, you'll get multiple individual 1m strips!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo wire up these strips we suggest picking up a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our wall adapters to power it. For the data + ground pins, you can pick up 2-pin JST set to turn it into a quick connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size.
