Description
Product information "Adafruit NeoPixel LED strip with crocodile clips - 60 LED/m, 50cm"
The strips are supplied in a 0.5 metre roll with three 100 mm long red/black/white crocodile clips at the end. The other end is sealed. The crocodile clips are even nicely colour coded: black for ground, white for signal, red for 3-5VDC power. We use SK6812 LEDs on these strips, so you don't need an inline resistor and they work down to 3V logic+current.
NeoPixels are addressable LEDs. This means that there are 60 RGB LEDs per metre and the strip is half a metre long, so you get 30 individually controlled RGB LEDs! You can set the colour of the red, green and blue components of each LED with 8-bit PWM precision (i.e. 24-bit colour per pixel) . The LEDs are controlled by shift registers that are chained up and down the strip so that you can shorten the strip by cutting it off if you wish. Only 1 digital output pin is required to send data downwards. The PWM is built into each LED chip so that, after a colour has been set, it will modulate it accordingly, even if it is no longer being controlled.
The strip is made from flexible PCB material and comes with a weatherproof coating. You can cut this material fairly easily with wire cutters. Of course, you can also join the strips together to make them longer. Just be careful how much power you need! You must use a 3-5V DC supply to power these strips, do not use more than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip!
These LEDs consume a maximum of 4.8 watts (~1 amp at 5V) per metre. The maximum load capacity assumes that all LEDs are completely white. Normally the actual current for coloured designs is less than 1/3 of the maximum current. A good power supply is crucial!
Our detailed NeoPixel Uberguide contains everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. Including ready-to-use library & sample code for Arduino compatibilities. You can also use these strips with MakeCode or CircuitPython if you use the NeoPixel software support.

Adafruit: The expert for open source hardware
For more than ten years, programmers and tinkerers have benefited from the expertise of the Adafruit brand. Whether for beginners or proven experts, Adafruit has the right hardware components ready for your next IoT project.
Light comes into the dark with Adafruit NeoPixel
One extremely popular product line from the company's broad portfolio is Adafruit NeoPixel. These nifty LED components come in a wide variety of designs and color temperatures. NeoPixel modules are available, for example, in the form of a practical stick with five intelligent LEDs in red, green and blue (RGB) or in white (W), as a shield with 40 eye-saving RGBW LEDs in which all pixels are individually addressable, and as a jewel with seven RGBW LEDs that can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel.
Especially popular is the Adafruit NeoPixel Ring with 16 ultra-bright, intelligent RGB LEDs including integrated drivers, which you only need a single microcontroller to control. The trick is that the Adafruit NeoPixel rings form a chain, so to speak: You couple the output pin of one with the input pin of the other.
With the Adafruit NeoPixel products you can realize a wide variety of projects - there are virtually no limits to your creativity. With the help of an Arduino, a jumper cable and the appropriate software, you can control a NeoPixel ring individually and light up the small LEDs as you wish - either individually or in a specific combination. This way, you can also create your own Vu meter with the versatile LED components. Practical: To make programming Adafruit NeoPixel easier, Adafruit provides an Arduino library as well as a Python library.
Adafruit Feather Boards: Powerful hardware in a compact format
With Adafruit Feather, the hardware specialist from the States also has various powerful development boards in its range, which are essentially equivalent to an Arduino in terms of function. All of these boards are equipped with similar features; among other things, the pin assignment is the same and there are also many parallels when it comes to the microcontrollers and the battery charging properties. In addition, you can also find Feather boards with special devices like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity as well as boards with microSD slot in Adafruit's product range. The name "Feather" is no coincidence: The boards are also characterized by being particularly compact and, above all, lightweight.
The range of top-class product highlights is wide: The STM32F405 Feather, for example, is the fastest CircuitPython board from Adafruit with an outstanding 168 MHz and meets the highest demands. It is equipped with a STEMMA QT / Qwiic port at the end, which makes it easy to connect to I2C sensors. The Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express, on the other hand, shines with Bluetooth Low Energy and can also be used with CircuitPython thanks to native USB support.
Another important part of Adafruit's portfolio are the FeatherWings. With these expansion modules, you can also include components such as a display or a motor driver in your IoT project. The FeatherWing Proto is a proven classic in Adafruit's portfolio. This is ideally suited as a prototyping add-on for all Feather boards. The Adafruit FeatherWing Wing Tripler Mini Kit, on the other hand, is ideal if you want to connect a Feather to two other FeatherWings at the same time.
With the Adafruit MIDI FeatherWing Kit you get a music capable FeatherWing, thanks to which you can equip your Feather with MIDI input and output jacks. And with the Adafruit FeatherWing OLED you can easily add a small OLED display to your Feather board - no soldering required.
Adafruit: What's behind the brand
As an expert in open-source hardware, Adafruit has long since established itself in the electronics industry. The company was founded in 2005 by Limor Fried. At the time, the talented and innovative electrical engineer was still a student at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To this day, Fried is CEO of the electronics giant, which is now headquartered in New York. The company's name also goes back to its founder: Fried was once known on the World Wide Web by the nickname "Ladyada" - a tribute to the famous IT pioneer Ada Lovelace.
Adafruit says it is committed to getting more people excited about technology and science - and thanks to its first-class products, the hardware expert from the USA is sure to succeed!

Safety instructions
- Avoid direct contact with power lines during operation.
- Ensure that the operating voltage corresponds to the specifications of the strip to avoid overheating or damage.
- Never connect the components with the wrong polarity (e.g. swapping +5V, GND or data lines).
- Operation outside the specified voltage or with the wrong controller can cause damage.
- Avoid short circuits, especially due to exposed solder joints or uninsulated cables.
- Use a suitable cooling option for long strips to prevent heat build-up.
- Keep the strip away from water or damp environments, unless the protection class of the product permits this.
- Dispose of the Stripe in accordance with the local regulations for electronic components (WEEE Directive).
- Do not dispose of in normal household waste as it contains electronic components.
- If the product is defective or damaged, recycle it properly and do not tamper with or repair it without specialist knowledge.
