These LED strips are fun and glowy. There are 32 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 7-bit PWM precision (so 21-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 2 digital...

These displays are small, only about 1.3" diagonal, but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. This display is made of 128x64 individual white OLED pixels, each one is turned on or off by the controller chip. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its...

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! A fun way to make a small display is to use an 8x8 matrix or a 4-digit 7-segment display. Matrices like these are 'multiplexed' - so to control 64 LEDs you need 16 pins. That's a lot of pins, and there are driver chips like the MAX7219 that can control a matrix for you but there's a lot of wiring to set up and they take up a ton of space. Here at Adafruit we feel your pain! After...

Need some really bright LEDs? We are big fans of these clear blue LEDs, in fact we use them exclusively in our kits. They are very bright and have about 20degree LED beam. They go easily into a breadboard and will add that extra zing to your project.

Add sparkle to your project with these lovely silver wire LED strands. These strands are very interesting, they use two silver wires that are coated so they don't short if they touch, then tiny 1000mcd LEDs are bonded onto the wires and coated with epoxy. The result is a very flexible silver wire with sparkly "fairy" lights that are much less visible than normal LEDs. They're still just LEDs, but in a fun new form-factor!...

This OLED goes out to all the fans who want more pixels ! Normally our 128x64 OLEDs are the biggest ones we've stocked that can use I2C. This one is a whopping 128x128 pixels and it even has an extra bonus - it can do grayscale pixels! Yep, you get the same crispness of a monochrome OLED but with 16 levels of grayscale. This display is a petite 1.5" diagonal , but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. This display...

We have all sorts of LED strips for a wide range of needs. Chonky strips? We got those! Strips with alligator clips that are easy-peasy to MakeCode? Oh definitely. Weatherproof? We have a gamut of options. Now we have some Honey I Shrunk the LED Strips in the store. At an astonishing 4mm width these are wee yet surprisingly flexible and can fit just about anywhere. The wires are even nicely color-coded: black for ground, green for...

What new iteration of NeoPixel strip is this? Roll out the black light and disco ball! It's an Adafruit NeoPixel   Ultraviolet  Strip with 32 LEDs per meter ! Each order comes as a single one meter long strip. If you order multiple meters, you'll get that many individual 1 meter pieces. The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters....

Yay, a plastic tube! No, we jest. This is no ordinary plastic tube, but rather a side-lighting fiber optic tube. This is a pretty neat way to glow up. Light in the fiber optic cable zooms through the core by constantly bouncing off of the edge of the molded plastic, a principle called "total internal reflection" (which also kinda sounds like a very expensive meditation island retreat). When the light pipe doesn't have...

Here at Adafruit we never get tired of new and exotic glowing things. Like moths to the flame, we were intrigued by this new LED technology from Nth Light. Instead of having individual LEDs, Nth prints micro LED diodes onto a flexible plastic substrate for a unique look. The  Nth-Light Narrow LED Flexible Strip Light is printed in three basic processes, starting with standard LED wafers. These wafers are then cut into micro LEDs the...

Here at Adafruit we love discovering new and exotic glowing things. Like moths to the flame, we were intrigued by these fresh  Flexible Silicone Neon-Like LED Strips ! They look a lot like neon, but without the need for expensive transformers, glass tubing or inert gasses. Super flexible and bendy, they feature a single-color non-addressable LED strip with a solid chunk of translucent silicone rubber as a diffuser. They look incredible, and...
