The 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) You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use

higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip.

We have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. for NeoPixel 

Please check it out! Please note you will need a NeoPixel library with RGBW support which is not always 

available. If you try to control these with a plain 'RGB' NeoPixel library, you'll get very weird results. Our 

Adafruit NeoPixel library does support RGBW but if you're using something else, just be aware that it might 

require some hacking.

They come in 1 meter strips with a 2 or 3‐pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power/ground 

wires. These strips are sold by the meter! There is a join in the middle of the strip and the LEDs are not 

perfectly spaced at that point ‐ it's just a tradeoff with the ability of the flex PCB maker and density.

To wire up these strips we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables. You'll want

one of each, one wire is for ground the other is for signal. For the power wire, you will also

probably want a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our wall adapters to power it.

Our detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. Including 

ready‐to‐go library & example code for the Arduino UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila, Flora/Micro/Leonardo, 

Trinket/Gemma, Arduino Due & Arduino Mega/ADK (all versions)
