RGB LED Star Wire (10m / 66 stars)

These cute individually-addressable (NeoPixel compatible) RGB LED stars on flexible silvery wire are great for coding up celestial room decor ⭐🌈

  • 10 metres long with 66 individually addressable frosted LED stars
  • WS2812B/NeoPixel-compatible
  • Snazzy silver coloured wire
  • Tinned wires on one end for attaching to screw terminals
  • Useful hook on the other end for attaching to things
  • Dust/water resistant*

Addressable LEDs let you individually set each LED in the chain to a specific RGB colour by sending signals from a microcontroller. If you're looking for an easy, plug and play LED controller check out Plasma 2040 or Plasma Stick - just connect up the tinned wires to the screw terminals, apply USB power and you're ready to start making rainbows!

Alternatively, you could use a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, micro:bit, or other microcontroller to drive them - there are loads of different code libraries available (Python, MicroPython, CircuitPython, Arduino, and more).

Specifications

  • Data-in end: 30cm tail ending in tinned wires
  • Data-out end: plastic hook
  • Input Voltage: 3.7-5.3 VDD
  • Maximum Output Power: 0.24W/LED (at 5V)
  • Cable length: 10m (plus a 30cm tail)
  • Emitted Color: RGB
  • LED Quantity: 66 LEDs total

Pinout

The 5V / + / VCC wire on these LEDs is the one marked with dots. The DATA / PIXELS wire is the one in the middle, and the GROUND / - wire is the one on the other edge (that doesn't have dots).

The colour order of these LEDs may vary from batch to batch - if the colours aren't displaying as expected you may need to specify a different colour order in your code.

Notes

  • * The LED wire is IP67 rated, which means it should stand up to modest outdoor use. Make sure your controller is kept inside or suitably protected from the elements!
