You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 1 LED. The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. We also have this in Warm White and RGB full color. This is the 60 LED-per-meter version of our DotStar strips, on white flex PCB. (we recommend DotStars if you can use them!) In comparison, DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the LED around, you won't see the pixelation, the blending is very smooth. On NeoPixels, the PWM rate is 400 Hz, which works well but is noticeable if the LED is moving. NeoPixel LEDs use 800 KHz protocol so specific timing is required. It's very easy to port the library, and you can send data to the pixels at up to 32MHz clock rate! This makes them excellent for use with any microcontroller or microprocessor, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Propeller, SparkCore, and any 'raw' microcontrollers/microprocessors. Hardware SPI support is handy but not required. Because the clock and data is separated, you can use any processor speed or type to control these strips, and you don't have to worry about being careful with the timing. That means you need two pins, not one, to control DotStars.
However, unlike NeoPixels, these LEDs have 2 wires (input and output) for sending data - one clock pin and one data pin. The phosphor helps diffuse the 3 white dies inside together for a very bright but consistant light, compared to what you get by trying to mix RGB to make white (which never quite looks right) Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye hurts) and can be controlled with 24 bit high-frequency PWM. Unlit, the color resembles a yellow Starburst.
#3d clock with leds cutout one piece driver
Make your own smart Cool White LED arrangement with the same integrated LED driver that is used in our DotStar or NeoPixel LED strips.
They also have much higher PWM refresh rates, so you can do Persistence-of-Vision (POV) and have less flickering, particularly at low brightness levels. DotStar LEDs use generic 2-wire SPI, so you can push data much faster than with the NeoPixel 800 KHz protocol and there's no specific timing required.
#3d clock with leds cutout one piece upgrade
Move over NeoPixels, there's a new LED strip in town! These fancy new DotStar LED strips are a great upgrade for people who have loved and used NeoPixel strips for a few years but want something even better.
