Digital RGB LED Strip - LPD8806 x 48 5m

The LPD8806 chip has built in 1.2 MHz high speed 7-bit PWM for each channel - that means it can do 21-bit color per LED (way more than the eye can easily discern). Once you set the brightness level for the LEDs, your microcontroller can go off and do other things, no need to continuously update it, or clock it.

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 41mm (2 LEDs each). Solder to the 2.54mm copper pads and you're good to go.´

You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you will destroy the entire strip.

They come in 5 meter reels with a 4-pin JST SM connector on each end.
