You love NeoPixels, and you love silicone diffusion? Peep this  Flexible Silicone Neon-like Skinny NeoPixel LED Strip ! OK it's a bit of a mouthful, but check out the beautiful footage! It  looks  a lot like a slim strip of neon, but without the need for expensive transformers, glass tubing, inert gasses, or a Las Vegas casino license. They look incredible, are super easy to use, and are a great way to make your projects...

Put on your sunglasses before putting this shield onto your 'duino - 40 eye-blistering RGBW LEDs adorn the NeoPixel shield for a blast of configurable color. Arranged in a 5x8 matrix, each pixel is individually addressable. Only one pin (Digital #6) is required to control all the LEDs. You can cut a trace and use nearly any other pin if you need some customization. This is the Natural White RGBW version.  We also have this NeoPixel...

What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixels now have 4 LEDs in them (red, green, blue and white) for excellent lighting effects. These LED strips are fun and glowy, and you can control each LED individually! This is the 30 LED/m RGBW strip with a White Casing and White PCB!  We also have RGBW NeoPixel strips of 60 LED/m and 144 LED/m. The NeoPixel is 'split', one half is the RGB you know...

So thin. So mini. So teeeeeeny-tiny. It's the 'skinny' version of our classic NeoPixel strips! These NeoPixel strips have 60 digitally-addressable pixel Mini LEDs per meter and are very affordable and are only 7.5 mm wide, 5 mm if you remove the strip from the casing.  This 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 There are some things to...

You can't bake a cake without flour, sugar, and baking soda? Cream cheese? Muscadet? Ok - to be honest we don't do much cake baking.  But we do light up a TON of NeoPixel LED strips! They're everywhere - from our Firewalker LED Sneakers  to our FloraBrella - and we can't think of better essentials to get you started than this Adafruit NeoPixel LED Strip Starter Pack . This version has a one meter...

You thought it couldn't get better than our world-famous 32-LED-per-meter Digital LED strip but we will prove you wrong! These NeoPixel strips have 30 digitally-addressable pixel LEDs per meter and are very affordable and are only 12.5 mm wide, 10 mm if you remove the strip from the casing. This is the strip with black flex PCB, its identical to the white 30 LED/meter except it has a different color mask on the flex strip There are some...

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! And what's better than lots of LEDs?  TWO TIMES AS MANY LEDS!!! With the 16x8 LED Matrix Backpack we've doubled your project's matrix capacity by making it super easy to get two separate 8x8 matrices onto one handy board! Matrices like these are 'multiplexed' - so to control 64 LEDs you need 16 pins and to control 128 LEDs, you'd need 24 pins. That's a lot...
